Flugabwehrkanone

Has the 88 always been available in the ME? I don't recall adding any mods for it specifically. I noticed it last night and had to check it out. The behavior of the shells needs work but the model is pretty good and animated nicely.

 

It's a big improvement for custom missions with flak and no proper source or origin.

I'm not seeing it in the editor. Neither in the alpha nor beta. Is it possible you got it from a mod anyway?

I can't find it in 1.5.3. It should be under German Air Defence right?

WHAAAT??? That has to be a mod. And if it works halfway acurately it is one of the greatest mods of all time!

 

Please tell us more!

Possible Lilkiki WW2 Mod? was introduce in 1.2?

[Merlin-27]

On mine is USA, Japan and few others. Vehicle/AIR DEFENSE

 

I'll check for mod possibility. Did Markindle's ship mods add something else??

 

EDIT: I found it. It's in the MODS directory and named FLAK_88. I don't even remember installing it... but it was a nice surprise. I tried to find out who created it, but no luck.

Upuaut's mod has a FlaK8.8, but I thought that was only a static model...

Interesting. I placed a few on the map to see them and they are definitely animated... and a direct hit has the expected result.:spam_laser:

 

The gun behavior is similar to the Bismark/Hood mods (You can see the rounds in the air if they are close and they eventually impact the ground somewhere) but no air busts like you'd expect from Flak.
