Best Axis AA Gun WW2 - Real Life and In Game?
« on: January 03, 2025, 05:23:02 AM »
What do people think were the best / most effective Axis AA guns during World War 2, especially out of the mass-produced ones (so not the 12.8cm Flak)?

Don't think there would be much argument - I may be wrong , but that would depend upon
applying further context to the question.

Wiki :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_Flak_18/36/37/41



8.8cm FlaK 18/36
Over 21,000 built and used effectively from the Spanish Civil War through to the Vietnam War

Effective in pure AA usage , and one of the most versatile weapons ever built , it was feared by Allied ground forces ,
with good reason.
Able to penetrate almost all Allied armour at ranges beyond which they could engage effectively.
One of the first weapons capable of timed and contact fuses ( causing Airburst ) , one of the first radar guided weapons in an AA role.
