oh, because heavier shells is a pluss? no
as i said, i aint discussings its AA capabilities, sure it was better!
it was used as an AT gun occasionaly, its primary task was AA. not like the 88 wich where constructed for both rather quickly when they figured out it was great for both duties.
now, you can wikiwhore as much as you want, but i stand my ground for my personal opinion on the 88's AT capabilites
- less shell weight = less stamina loss = faster reload times (we all know how fast an trained 88crew can reload
)
- more accurate aiming devices, yet more complicated. learned pretty quickly anyway
- massive numbers compared to the 90mm
- penetration enough that could knock out more or less every tank it faced (not all ofcourse), no real need for more, other guns for those duties.
- flak37/41 velocity
HE - 1000m/s range 20000m
AP - 980m/s range 12350-14700m 159mm@1000m vs 90/53 100mm@500m(0°)
and i still rest my case
wow, this discussion really sat me off...
no hard feelings theta?<3
