Until the jabo or bombers showed up, your only limitation to the permutations of 88 fun would be getting numbers of players herded into place and setup. Like that first AP volley from 10 - 88 setup on the high ground in the town as a single GV wonders into view from the spawn. Even the first few jabo or bombers might not make it onto the target if those guys know what they are doing. That's why you would try to recruit a few wirbel. In the end you would probably need a few tanks to defend against M3-75 and M8 who could move faster than the 88 could track. Now a crafty M4 with rockets could stand off and hit some by luck........ Or a squad ups their own 88 and starts a long range lobbing fight from the spawn to the town.
And then some newb would show up and carpet bomb all the fun to heck and crow on 200.
