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!

So....TD or SPAA line?
TD after Marders
Please add flak shells, i think everybody will benefit from that
And how exactly do oyu intend to use manualy set airburst shells in this game? You arent goign to be fireing at a formation flying at a set altitude, you are ogign to be fireign at planes flying low anbd constantly manuverign and changign altitude. Good luck estimatign the proper range and timign the shot jus right only to have ot do it all over again after you inevitably miss or the plane moves slightly. The germans did NOT have any sort of proximity fuzes on their shells.
This things is great, but Plz more pre-war tanks or Italian carro armato for the germans
I feel like 1.63 is Soooooo Closeee like soo close like SOOOO(monday) cought* cought* XD Some AA love some german LOVE, And pleasee!!! With cherry on top, Give the 8,8cm the Anti-Air round, It was designated to be used as a Flak, But it came out to be a Pak. This doesn't mean it can't be used as a AA So don't ruin the hope of many people sending a Shell at a plane 3km away and to see how the Detonation blows th plane away.
awe yea been waiting for a flakk aa gun since they added the matilda so i can relive rommels attacks in africa. isnt this the 1943 model though not 41 one not that it makes a difference.
i love halftrack based vehicles, please tell me there is more :D
maybe zis 41, or sdkfz 251/22? :D
i forgot to ask wil it have the original rate of fire ?
Aww, cute little thing! Reminds me too much of Orky Wartrukk =)
Will the US get a new low Tier bomber? I love the corsair, but the pby gets shreaded and the BR of the b25 gets my corsair into trouble.
PBY gets shredded? EXCUSE you? PBY is a flying fortress!
SgtSully, OH wait a minute, are you talking about Arcade? *yecchhhhh*
So will the ships CBT start with 1.63?
