Title: Maybe AH 88’s Are Correct!

Video of a P47 going down from a German flak gun. Happens to me in the MA nightly!

That ain't no 88 in the video.
A nice article on the 88, https://plane-encyclopedia.com/ww2/8-8-cm-flak-18-36-37/ Traverse speed is 3.6 and 1.8 degrees. A full circle took 200 and 100 turns of the wheel.

Yep. Clearly 37mm. Which model, not sure but caliber is 37mm.

I refuse to believe a single 88-mm could bring down a P-47 :old:
