Greatest Tank Battles - The German 88 mm Flak Gun

[MrCanopius]

The 88mm gun was good enough to destroy any allied tank - so why did the germans build bigger Anti-Tank-Guns? Waste of resources, but typically german after the T-34 shock.

So this gun is also AA and AT? :O so they just change the round and you can shoot aircraft and tank? :D

@quangluu96 Not just AA and AT, The 88 was also very good as artillery. The 88 could destroy infantry very quickly

Is this from season 1 or 2? I don't think it's Greatest Tank Battles - El Alamein.

@Master91474

[MasterOfMyDestiny]

what is this documentary called man?

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@MasterOfMyDestiny

As the Name Suggest: Greatest Tank Battles - El Alamein.

[Bulgarboy1]

Really this was a very powerfull gun.

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@Bulgarboy1

they Called it '' the Dreaded 88 '' for a very good reason.. =)

[Bulgarboy1]

@ThePanzerWarMachine I saw some french and british artilery guns from WW2 and from the 1-st sight you would know they can't compare to this. They looked more like something from the first world war.

Like the Battery Moltke.

@ThePanzerWarMachine Would still do a good bit of damage or atleast in honor guards/gun salutes a good blast today :)

[HeirofGojira91]

@Bulgarboy1 The PaK 42, FlaK 41, Flak 10.5cm, PaK 43 and PaK 44 were even BIGGER and BETTER AND DEADLIER weapons than the Flak 18/36/37 guns - and pretty much it got its share of history/infamous credit along with the Tiger I's KwK 36 88mm gun - there couldn't have been many better guns that the Allies made that could match this (save the BS-3, 90mm M3, QF17 pounder)
