 The first prototype testing for the 8.8cm Flak 18 began in 1929. Its inception was actually due to the failure of a 7.5cm version. As the name implies, these are actually anti-aircraft weapons. They entered anti-tank service once it was found that their high-velocity rounds were very effective at penetrating thick armor plate. Like the Panther G, the 88s had a fearsome reputation among Allied troops.
This is the most powerful gun that you will get, make good use of it. With a rate of fire approaching nine rounds per minute, an exposed armored vehicle is as good as dead. Make sure to guard your 88s well, you won't get them very often.
