bellezza03 6,007 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 We have the Kwk version on the Tiger 1. I dont really see the problem. well the flak could fire a 88 mm round with 160 grams of TNT. The tiger could too but the shell isn't in war thunder. 130 mm of penetration at 0 meters and 93 at 2000 meters. Monster firepower. The improved round should do 149 mm at 100 meters and 106 at 2000 meters. The rof would be amainzing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Gaijin will make that happen! :) It would be nice, but I doubt such things will be implemented. I am sure flak 88 will be implemented, but with tweaks to ensure it will be balanced enough. Damn, I sound like Gaijin... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results45 2,200 Report post Posted March 7, 2017 Stalin's Flak 88 has arrived: Quote 29-K: Reach the Sky The 29-K is a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle created by mounting a 76-mm 3-K anti-aircraft gun on the reinforced base of a YaG-10 truck. In the mid-1930s, the relentless progress in aviation technology resulted in a need to protect mechanized columns against air assaults. The simplest solution was to install an anti-aircraft gun on a truck base, which resulted in an effective and inexpensive cover vehicle. The 29-K is a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle created by mounting a 76-mm 3-K anti-aircraft gun on the reinforced base of a YaG-10 truck. In 1933, the Soviet Union launched their efforts to mount high-caliber anti-aircraft artillery on a self-propelled chassis. While their attempts to fit a 76-mm long-barreled gun on a T-26 tank chassis ultimately ended in failure, the project to mount anti-aircraft guns on the base of the triaxial YaG-10 truck met with unalloyed success. Between 1935 and 1937, 61 units of the new SPAAG were produced under the designation 29-K. Before it could be fitted with guns, the YaG-10 truck had to undergo a minor upgrade: the base was reinforced, four stabilizing legs with jacks were added to the underside, and the sides were replaced with semi-rounded armor plates that could be reclined in combat to create additional space for the crew to operate. 29-Ks were put into service in the Red Army in the initial stage of the Second World War. Download Wallpaper: 1280x1024 | 1920x1080 | 2560x1440 High-caliber anti-aircraft artillery first appeared in War Thunder in the form of the German self-propelled 8.8 cm Flak 37 auf Sd.Kfz.9, and now the USSR also has its own medium-altitude anti-aircraft gun. Of course, in practice, hefty-caliber SPAAGs like this will primarily play an anti-tank role in the game. Although the staid, heavy-duty YaG-10 won't be able to match its lighter partners such as the GAZ-AAA or ZIS-12 for speed, its stunning ability to carry up to 10 tons in weight makes it capable of bearing artillery that is much heavier and more powerful. The 3-K 76-mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft gun offers exceptional firing range (shells reached altitudes of 9.5 km), good ballistic trajectory, and an extremely high rate of fire, which may prove decisive in the fast-changing conditions on the battlefield. Also one of the most important features of the AA gun is its tremendous firepower - a 76mm shell requires high velocity which is provided by a powerful 3-K cannon. And its firepower against ground target is known for its remarkable armour-piercing qualities which are similar to those of the German 75mm guns. When attacking enemy armored vehicles, it's best to fire first from a covered or concealed position on the map, as the 29-K will be sluggish getting away from return fire. The 29-K high-caliber SPAAG will soon be a new addition to the Soviet anti-tank guns, joining rank 2 on the USSR ground vehicle tech tree.
