Keep thinking how efficient and deadly the German 88 crews were against mobile armor.

Actually the best German anti-tank weapon was the mobile assult gun known as the stugIII. It was more effective than any other anti-tank by a factor of 10. The 88 was a really good anti-aircraft gun in an army that was only given 37mm anti tank guns that proved ineffective against French and British tanks. So they used the 88s when ever they could in place of anti-tank guns for the first 2 years of the war.

This is self-propelled artillery, not a tank.

Pity the DoD didn't see the need take advantage of Gerald Bull's services and products when they had the chance.
