The 8.8 cm KwK 43 was an 88 mm 71 calibre length tank gun designed by Krupp and used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War.
It was mounted as the primary armament on the Tiger II. The 8.8 cm Pak 43, an anti-tank gun, was very similar in design but mounted on tank destroyers or deployed stand-alone on the field.

500m/s projectile velocity and a reload of 7.5 seconds. Max range of 5000m (Server sync range may interfere)

It will penetrate 3.5 blocks of small grid heavy armour equivalent.

--

The 88mm Flak has a VT fuze (Timed) that can be modified through the toolbar and control panel.0.25s = 250m, 1s = 1000m detonation distance and so on. The projectile travels at 1000m/s, and has a 2m proximity fuze (This may vary in practice) with light explosive damage. This is best used en masse, coordinated with allies against planes.

Big thanks to Whiplash141 for making the penetration framework! Without his work, none of these mods would have been possible

Also thanks to Klime for making the Flak Gun code! Check out his other scripts on his WS page, they are incredibly helpful.

either the 88mm cannon is broken or its the long88 shell thats broken, it seems that i cant use the 88mm canonon becaus the long88 just disapeears from the inventory of the 88mm. i need to know if its just me or if its a actual problem

textures are very good but i think the mod is broken because it fires but does no damage.

Heya AWG! Would you be willing to allow us to make use of your weapons on the Sigma Draconis cluster? We have a 'no thrusters' area on each server and the tanks need some more firepower!

To do so we would need permission to add them to our own weapon pack collection as we modify alot of the base values of the weapons on the cluster for balance and utility!

Thanks for your time!

Thank you for your diligence, this is really helpful and definitely the kind of bug report I like to see :)

Hmm if the same happens with sensors perhaps it is related to the method the script uses for detection
Don't worry about sending the world, I'll talk to Klime, the one who made the script :)

I've gotten pretty repetitive results with at the least 1 particular case. The gun was 25m above the nearest piece of ground, and would explode within 50m of leaving the barrel unless fired at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal plane relative to the base it was mounted to. In this case, the nearest terrain to it's arc of travel was a mountain >3km distant. It would do this regardless of timer setting, almost as if it's own grid was triggering the proxy sensor and it was exploding as soon as possible, a behaviour I've actually noticed occurring intermittently with sensor-triggered warheads set only to detect enemy grids. This was on a single player world.
If you'd like, I can send you the world file to test for yourself? It was a world I was specifically using to develop range tables for your weapons (due to them having drop arcs) so it's got a firing platform and range gauge set up out to 3km.
