Flak 88mm

[Richthofen100]

Why cant i gave that fireingspeed in my tank playing World of tanks?

[VonMudra]

@Richthofen100 Semi-automatic breeches were only in the AT guns and AA guns. Would be bad to have the hot shell casing fly out into the crew compartment of a tank :P

[Richthofen100]

@VonMudra  details details xD

[Loxleiev]

i just studied nazism in depth, thank you Stalin, thank you Roosevelt, Thank you Churchill, tahnks to every single resistance in europe for stopping this mad "men",

the only thing that was certain in the nazi regime was the racism, in economics and science they stood as in the 1900's, while in technique they were trully advanced, but its economic system was much like the one in the US today, and even worse

[DerAlteU96]

Verrecke Russe!!!

[pveg65]

This reminds me of shooting Prairie Dogs with a 22-250. Long Range Varmint hunting.

[dizzypilots1]

@pveg65 my 40-xb 220swift is slightly better at burning crows ,at least i think so .

[TheMarcin2011]

dajcie po palić ruskim

[pveg65]

The one dislike must be a "Commie" Bastard !

[Loxleiev]

@pveg65 thanks to the "commies" you live ina free world u dumb fuck, if it wasnt for stalin and the rapid industrial development of the soviet union germany couldnt stand the fight in both fronts and lost, though the west front could only be fought after the russians started to fight the nazis, but NONE seems to remember that,

[pveg65]

@Loxleiev Go Fuck your Communist Bitch of a Mother,You Red Cunt !

[Loxleiev]

@pveg65 your lack of argument proves my point, get a book, and read it, but try that the book is more complex than the little red ridding hood, otherwise the elcture of it will be useless

good luck in your minion life ;-)

[pveg65]

T-34 might have had sloped armor, but the '88' still ate it right up.

[dizzypilots1]

@pveg65 amen!

[DasBrotkuchen]

die Flak88 ist echt das geilste Geschütz da es je gegeben hat und wohl auch was es jeh geben wird :) wunderschön

[Desicionoflife]

Now THATS rapid firing.

[RedrosessNL]

I wonder what will happen the soldiers hand if he retract it to late out of the cannon.

[soyhemorroide]

4esos artilleros son mas rapidos con los 88 que yo con mi viejo mauser

[slim77k]

holy shit that gun can fire fast, i have to give the Germans credit. they made some good shit ei " MG42" tiger tank" the V1 & 2, the 1st jet fighter the ME-262....not to menchion they were well on there way to having a nuculer bomb....... :O

[TigerIPanzer]

88mm = Sherman reaper

[tomekl119]

@TigerIPanzer It was mostly used on eastern front, thus it should rather be called T34 reaper.

[korn6499]

great for conceal carry

[nero91]

die scheint aber arg schnell die munition zu verheitzen O.o

[LowStuff]

@nero91 feuerkraft + kadenz = überlegenheit

[SuperTimebandit]

Die 88 wurde nur zufällig als Erdkampfwaffe entdeckt,wo die hinschoss wuchs kein Grass mehr.

Mit andren Worten die hat so manchem Allierten die Grütze aus dem Arsch geschossen

[nitrotec34]

respekt der 8 80

[SIEGHEILIGE]

DIE BESTE KANONE IM WW2 !

[Michael7477]

You don't see that in WW2 movies. All you see is germans running around like idiots getting wasted by crack US and british troops.

[Mcplkelly]

You dont see much in the way of accuracy in any WWII movie, I have yet to see a movie where Artillery plays any role despite being the dominant weapon, I have yet to see proper allied and German doctrine represented.

[armaduck2000]

The best heavy gun of WW2

[gaelgeseomra]

Them guns were deadly not only the shells but the rate of fire and 2 of them firing as well a tank dident stand a chance.

[Litzen2k]

With that speed that would atlest shot around 36 rounds per minute = Crazy firepower!

[gaelgeseomra]

@Litzen2k Hi , d.day in the breakout north of caen a box of 88s were missed in the massive aerial bombing and the allies tanks ran straight into them and aparently around three hundred tanks were lost ,I can see why by looking at the video,

[Litzen2k]

True, 88s was the gun that could wipe out anything!

[Mcplkelly]

You are thinking of operation Goodwood, total allied losses resulted over a series of days from different German unis on different points across the battlefield, not a single unit of 88s.

[gaelgeseomra]

I'm going by the new book d day they carpet bombed the German lines but missed a box of flak guns and they wiped out a lot of tanks, there was a documentery on it I seen years ago as well,they sent the infantry in to destroy them,but hey I wasent there but aparently it was hushed up.

[Mcplkelly]

By new normandy book I assume you mean Anthony Beevers book or whatever the heck his name is. Beevor is something of a "pop" historians who really regurgitates old info.

There was a book awhile back that used in-battle aerial recon photos and argued the flak battery that supposedly took part in fact was never in the battle (no tracks in the wheat fields which should be present given the weight of the guns).

Regardless the 400 tank losses is attributed to the entire Goodwood operation.

[gaelgeseomra]

Yep gonna check them books out,I read a book a few years ago about a tank oficer involved in the batles of d.day and he said that the Germans had a huge amount of flak but which was never mentoned in any books,an interesting subject,I think one of the best boks I read was the forgoten soldier Guy sajer wow what a read.

[gaelgeseomra]

Well what ever you think of the book i liked it, he brought to light what the allies went through to save us from that terible ideology,

[Mcplkelly]

Nothing wrong with his book, Beevor introduced me to the eastern front with his Stalingrad and Berlin books years and years ago.

The issue is he tends to do little research himself, more he cites other historians. That means all their mistakes go into his book.

If you are serious about WWII studies, there are a number of more in depth books. For the British I would reccomend Collosal Cracks and Briitsh Armor in the Normandy Campaign 1944 if you want to understand their artillery based doctrine

[petskup4]

Germany should gave those for Finland too

[DerAlteU96]

DAS ist Speerfeuer!!! Acht-Achter sind einfach das Geilste. Stellt euch mal 8 Stück davon vor auf eine Linie verteilt und dann so ein Dauerfeuer. Gute Nacht sagt die Acht-Acht ^^

[hannibalcosta]

We, japanese, we got the Type 99 cannon, the infamous NO KU DO JAPA NON!

[dizzypilots1]

light that commie piece of shit up.

[Cal50Rifle]

Ich hätte gerne so eine Flak für Silvester man wäre das geil !!!

[blizzardtj]

Incredible ROF...but I think they would need more time to aim it at moving T-34s!

[dizzypilots1]

what a glorius weapon

[Wieland1985]

für so ein Teil hätte ich heute auch noch verwendung. Besonders wenn die von der GEZ oder Mennoniten vor der Tür stehn

[MrDesiballer]

was?

[Sebi19959]

also das die so schnell schießt hab ich auch net gewusst xD

-eins der besten Flaks im WW2

[DeutscherLandser84]

wirklich bei den dauerfauer möcht ich nicht in gegnerischen panzer sein oder gar mit dem panzer angreifen ,da kannste dir gleich die kugel geben... da kommt keiner durch...

[DeutscherLandser84]

Die flak 88 ist echt megageil so ein ding müsste man in garten haben

[DerAlteU96]

wie arschgeil. dauerfeuer vom feinsten. danach steht nichts mehr. ^^

[SunddenStrike17]

deutsche wertarbeit

[djsimo149]

the flak 36 = 88

[drreik]

it fired faster than the game dame it this is a hell san of bitch

[ClintSchiesswut]

i ever thought a rate of fire of 6-8 shells per minute were a good score with a flak 36, but that rpm is...unbelievable. after 2 minutes the loaders had to be damn fatique. i think that rpm could only been hold for max 20-30 shells, not really because the guncrew would be fatique, more because the mechanisms, like pp12021 said, would break and the barrel would overheat. also the chamber would be to hot, so the ammunition maybe explode but i dont really think so.

[tpavol]

every 2-3 sec fire ... wow

[PyramidHead17]

that one fast bitch

[VodkaAce]

ya give it to them ruskkies!!

[PrinzEugn]

Check out the rate of fire at 0:12, it's pretty ridiculous how fast they're going.

[cwetzelberger]

Staying alive is a great motivator, isn't it?

[pp12021]

they could broke flak mechanism by shooting so fast
