minus-squareSSTF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoIs this post implying that destroying a WW2 tank with an 88mm gun is considered in the realm of “the impossible”? The German Flak 88mm existed at a time where man portable anti-tank rifles were still viable, and dedicated 57mm anti-tank cannons were fielded. For the emperor’s sake a modified version of the 88mm Flak was the main gun of the Tiger I! 88mm guns were famed and feared for the duration of the war as anti tank guns! It is significantly different than taking on a modern main battle tank with a 25mm autocannon and winning.
