I'd like to see proximity fused ammo for 57mm S-60 as an option.

I'd really like to be able to add proximity fused 57mm flak to the proximity fused (timed?) 100mm flak already in game. It would make for great cinematic visuals and atmosphere.

I recall US Vietnam conflict pilots in video interviews talk about notable differences in color and shape between the blast clouds of 57mm and 100mm flak. I'd like to replicate that in the game.

I think that proximity or time fused 57mm was never issued in significant quantities, so it wouldn't necessarily be very realistic.
That said, i would still appreciate it as an option: There is documentation of quite a few different (experimental?) shells for the soviet 57mm, so it would still be plausible and would add a lot more gameplay variety with very little coding and no additional art required.

This is an approach ED should take more often when it comes to anti-air: Adding different shells or missiles to AAA/SAM systems to increase variety with little art and coding requirements... example
