The 88's has got to be one of the best additions to the game. Now when a cv gets parked off a field the 88 will make quick work of support ships and will eliminate the fact when you try to take off you can atleast get over 3k...
Very random post, but it just popped in my head how great they can be :) :cheers:

Every time when I'm fighting someone near an enemy base I get hit.

I have taken damage no death

lol I haven't even taken any damage yet from an 88mm, and I've been flying in TT 5+ hours.

I was in a a5...51 ran be to a base and an 88 nailed 1/2 wing
-
I haven't been hit by an 88 yet either, but to be honest, I have been spending most of my time defending lately.
-
I think it's a great addition. But since it was used as a bomber defense, I'd like to see the icon advantage only apply to formations of bombers.

There are no 88s in TT though, they are only at enemy bases.
-
It's a wicked gun. From my understanding they put it on the tiger because it was already proven capable of shooting big shells 6 miles straight up. Now we just need them available with a tongue and axles for towing about.

Yeah... um, there's about 8 enemy bases in TT. :aok
-
I read some other posts about GV's icon range and how poor gv's get bomb tarded all the time...blah blah and how the icon range change and so forth has made it "fair"
Problem is when Im flying around tank town furballing and those 88's are firing at me while im not "bomb tarding" makes me think I will just bomb some more GV's.
Now when I fly around an airbase looking for a fight instead of upping the first thing happens is 88's start going off.....thats retarded.
On the other hand I can see how they will be very effective when defending a base against hords.
But I guess anything has good and bad points.
If I had to say good or bad about 88''s I would say good.
:salute

Yes there are. Atleast last night there were.

Yeah.
Everything around that are bases from where people take off to go to TT.

haha I couldn't even hit the offline drones in one :o

Did you adjust the range accordingly?

I spent a day fartin around with the 88, finally starting to land hits - took out vDallas and 3 others attacking a V-base, its best used on a fighter if the fighter is diving straight in on the base, take his range and minus 200 yards or depending his speed - could be up to 600 yards for a lead shot.
Not sure exactly, but he was 5.5k away - I set the range for 4.9k and took a wing off.

Yep. One more clear manifestation of the hordes ruining the game.

The Horde's winning... nothing spells "ruined" when you are trying to duel over tank town and two v-bases have tards trying to hit you with an 88.
-
I swear, some of you guys cry like little girls at the slightest wiff of change.
The 88's are totally ineffective. Eventually everyone, except a dedicated few, will figure that out and seldom use them anymore.
-

well was trying to but didn't seem to help no matter what I did.
-
Got some kills in the 88s but it took some practice getting the range right and leading the target at the same time. Took out a few planes and killed a GV with the ap also. Fighters in TT very hard to pin down as thier range is constantly shifting.
We need a kill message for 88s instead of a generic X landed X kills in a "gun ship or field gun"
-
I got killed yesterday while I was 5-8k out of a base by a 88s....
I sometimes get killed when I am flying around enemies CVs by enemie puff ack...
I sometimes get killed when I am chasing an enemy bomber over my friendly CV. My puff ack kills me while he flies straight ahead...
I don't like 88's at all.

Ive fired about 75-100 rounds from the 88 and have only managed to kill a lanc at 3k with i think was a direct hit because it went boom. i have had shells bursts very close to target and they didn't "show" any effects. even when your good with the 88 i think its explosive/shrapnel charge is way to small to be afraid of, on top of that its not easy to used. the 88 is lame compared to the 5''. Fear not the 88 fear the proxy 5''. though i do love the interactiveness of the 88
