So you are proposing the introduction of a vehicle that will be the bane of your own squad  ;)

Most likely. However the book I read said that flakwagon was very prevelant. They were everywhere during the battle of the bulge campaigne, and the battle of the Hurtgen Forest.

mannable high caliber (88s, 90mm) flak guns could be pretty entertaining - who says GV has to be mobile? of course setting the fuse time & adding radar aiming (for the 90mm anyway) would probably be a big pain in the tail assembly for whomever has to program new controls, & manning the gun could be pretty boring if no E/A fly over your field
