the 88 would not have the power to go through a tank at 7km, nor the accuracy to hit it more than 5% of the time in absolutely perfect conditions. whats the chance of the guns on a battleship being disabled, when the round has a chance of nill to go through the armor, while shooting from a rolling and pitching platform while moving and shooting at another moving platform and doing this with only 200 or so rounds? I also forgot to mention all these rounds being HE and thus having little to no penetration ability, and even less accuracy due to inherent ballistic characteristics compared to a solid or semi-solid AP round.

Correct. Also, lest some people confuse the issue, the 88mm gun on U-boats is not the same 88mm gun that terrorized Allied and Russian tank crews. That gun was a flak gun and was the basis of later dedicated anti tank guns and guns mounted in tanks like the Tiger. The 88mm gun on the U-boats was simply a naval gun of the same calibre, but not of the same punch as the land version. There was simply no way the 88mm naval gun would even injure a battleship, let alone sink it. The belt armour on some battleships was as thick as eleven inches, perhaps more.

I have shot down a plane with the 8.8 in stock, i shot down a liberator somehow (my crew shot it down) also in gwx i shoot down airships in a custom mission with it. (again it was my crew doing the shooting)
can anone compare the differences between the naval 8.8 and the tank hunter 88 shell? |
I sunk a hunt I with my 88 at about 7500m myself all it was only a puff of smoke off in the distance plus it didn't even see me.
