A combination of heavy half-track and 88 mm Flak cannon? Does that sound odd?
Not if German engineering has anything to do with it! Let us introduce, the 8.8cm Flak 37 (Sf.) auf s. Zgkw. 18t
The Sd.Kfz.9 was the heaviest German half-tracked vehicle operated during the Second World War. Designed initially as heavy tractor for heavy artillery and as a recovery vehicle capable of towing tanks from critical situations. The first prototype was conceived in 1936.
The vehicle was primarily designed to be an engineering machine, however it was during the Second World War that the Sd.Kfz. 9 was employed as a platform for artillery. The vehicle became a mobile Anti-Aircraft Artillery and Tank Destroyer capable of mounting several configurations of weaponry. The most dangerous of which, was that version that mounted the infamous 88mm Flak Cannon.
In War Thunder players will be able to operate the 8.8cm Flak 37 (Sf.) auf s. Zgkw. 18 ton tractor mounted with an 88 mm Flak 37 cannon. This version is considered the “bigger brother” of the already available Sd.Kfz. 6/2 with the 37 mm cannon. It will soon become apparent however from the first glance, which of them are better prepared for battle.

Equipped with a stronger engine, a more powerful cannon and light armour means that every enemy tanker will think twice before they decide to engage you. The 88mm cannon is capable of penetrating the armour of most ground vehicles and a well aimed shot can eliminate many of them with a single shell.
Drivers of the 8.8cm Flak 37 (Sf.) auf s. Zgkw. 18t however need to be aware that it is not heavy armoured machine but a lightly armoured half-track which has the potential to withstand attacks from light machine guns or shrapnel from bombs, but will most likely not survive a direct hit from any large caliber cannons. The best tactic to use with this vehicle be to provide support for friendly ground vehicles from the 2nd line. Especially considering the precise and deadly nature of the 88mm Flak 37.
8.8cm Flak 37 (Sf.) auf s. Zgkw. 18t is a combination of a well know half-track chassis with the iconic 88mm cannon that will be a great addition to regular German Tech Tree in War Thunder!

Yeah... at this point, can we stop pretending that "AA" vehicles are going to be used against aircraft.
Yeah, just like how we should stop pretending that fighters were used exclusively against other fighters, and never for ground attack. you know the German 88 started out as a anti aircraft gun, then was fitted on tanks and SPGs, what were seeing here is a natural progression of that.
it's not AA vehicle. it's a TD and will be in the open-topped TD line, rank 2
airburst ammo?
I hope so, because that'd just look awesome. And well, an 88mm is almost useless as AAA without XD
Universae, it is NOT an AAA
will it get Burst shells (the AA kind) which are set for a certain distance?
they were used as TDs mostly
I think it's fine for it to be A TD due to the cannon, but if it was supposed to be an AA, why not give it air burst shells?
If its not an SPAA gun, then why are the barrels always pointing to the sky in all the pictures? Thats kinda lame
So... premium or regular?
Kate did u even read it cus it's going to be on tech tree dum ass
duckmartin, "Mate"
Are you able to tell us what tier this is going to be? and if so, What class of tank is, a tank destroyer?
rank 2. TD branch. After Marder
Senio, this is AMAZING thank you :))
This looks SOOOO OP! Premium or Regular. (hope it is regular)
step1 read the devblog step2 comment not reverse
It will be regular, a mod replied earlier.
Are there some interesting British vehicles to show of?
There indeed are...or rather - will be.
Thulle_, For this patch?
all the german bias in this patch
german bias? where? are you alright?
How can people resist the Germans after this?
Not to mention that gigantic flying boat.
Roloz, So true I've been resisting for a long time but now I want suddenly want to play german
