    Interesting information, ruined by terrible and inaccurate AI artwork.

    Flak 88 was first used in the Invasion of France for direct fire against armor, a setting it was always intended for since adoption.

    Good video idea but the AI script just keeps babbling the same point over and over again; making it unbearable. You should really work on fine tuning the script before release.

    The M12 in direct engagement seems to replicate the Wehrmacht Sturmgeschütz approach

    Ooh boy, got it wrong right up AI. The Flak 36 88mm WAS invented to fight tanks. its was a dual-purpose weapon based on World War 1 Flak 18 anti-air weapons. Its WW2 carriage was even made to be able to quickly switch from towed to deployed for quick redeployment and the gun depression was intentional.<br><br>Later Soviet 85mms and American 90mms that were originally AA guns got variants that copied the ideas as WW2 went on so also became Dual-Purpose and eventually fitted to tanks for their high velocity..

    The P-38 Lightning was s beast of fighter. There was a reason the Germans nicknamed it &quot;The Fork-tailed Devil&quot; You don&apos;t get a name like that unless you scared the living daylights out of your opponents. &nbsp;The P-38 was also the one responsible for shooting down Admiral Yamamoto air transport during an inspection flyover in the Pacific. So its more to say people got creative in the ways they used the plane than it proved better for a role it was never designed for. <br><br>Also your AI is showing. It&apos;s &quot;Yunkers&quot; (with a Y sound) &quot;J&quot; &quot;U&quot; 88 not a Junkers(Junk-ers Jew) 88.<br><br>Also when exactly did HMS Rodney show up in Vietnam? Again, your AI is showing as it produced a ship that had all forward main Gun layout which was only ever done on two ships and both ships were decommissioned by the end of WW2 and they were HMS Rodney and HMS Nelson.

    Not the AI pronouncing the German plane&apos;s designation JU as &quot;Jew&quot;.<br>Nope, we don&apos;t hear that.

    The Soviet ZSU-23 Shilka is similar to the quad-mount .50, except it had quad 23mm cannons. &nbsp; The ZSU-23 was designed to provide mobile radar-equipped anti-air capabilities, but in Afghanistan its ability to elevate made it capable of engaging Mujahideen fighters high up on hills and mountains.

    So the spooky was just a WW2 version of the ac-130?

    I’d say the duster and M-163 Vulcan could be very useful vs todays drones
