To me it depends on whats attacking the base. If it's buffs, low or high, i'll grab an ostie. If it's fighters or an assortment, the wirlbewind my choice. Alot of times i'll have a WW and its 20mm's dont have the same impact on a bomber than an Ostie.

If the 37mm on the osti didn't have the random dispersion, I would imagine it would be favored.

I believe that LTAR is the only squad that has mastered the Osti on a squad level.   I think that 95% of the time that folks in general up a flak, it is a Wirbelwind.

The LTAR's do seem to be a dying breed, however.   One does not see many of them online anymore.

I used to like the Ostwind until they updated it, now it has very limited visablity, so i'll stick to a M8's main gun and M2   :aok
