No.  Not only no, but...

What we need is a battery of flak guns to control, to defend the HQ.

Yes like the Germans had in WW2 ^__^

Me want 88 batteries to protect the factories and HQ!!

NO

NO

No 88 batteries at HQ?

HQ should have massive flak batteries. More than any other base/strat on the map. Like so much flak that you could walk on a cloud of 88 cheesy poofs

[Someguy63]

Yes I think so too.

The fascists that bomb HQ deserve it.

Sorry, I meant NO to removing the 88's from the game.

No problem.

The flak batteries at the HQ don't really do much of anything.  Has anyone ever been brought down by one?

A few times actually, but... I'm one of the few.

 The 88MM as it is set up in here is fairly harmless since it traverses way to slow and is set up in single gun platform and not in batteries as it would have been. There also is no ground target sight as an 88MM gun would have had in it's T.O.E.(Table or Organization&Equipment) I have never even as much as had a canopy hit like we get over a fleet from the 88. I see no reason to remove it and would rather see it as a towed weapon that can be taken to different location with a prime mover with ground target sights like in the Tiger tanks since that was the a same ground sight issued to the 88s with the correct traverse speed. Now that would cause some real whines in here.

a same ground sight issued to the 88s with the correct traverse speed.

88s traverse speed is correct for the low gearing. German AAA had two speeds as in the Wirbel & Ostwind these are programmed at the higher gearing in AHII.

88's with the higher gearing would be able to track fighters with ease.

This video hints at the speed capable.

That was interesting.  Seems like from the video if you use high speed, the reloading time would have to go up.

How about some HE rounds for the 88.

I was under the impression the gearing on the Wirbl and Ostwind were both on the slow gear.

Up an aircraft with rockets, rocket the 88's from long range, then do as you were doing from 6k away. Problem solved.

Don't like aircraft with rockets? Then fly something and de-ack the whole field, and let them sit in a AA type gv for 15min.. Until the 88's are back up...

Do I agree that the guy siting in the 88 is a tool? Absolutely! But to remove the 88, just because you don't like it shooting at you is a silly request.
