Well i will disagree with 200-800m effective firing range but you're right it's offtopic and should placed somwhere on IL2Sturmovik &Pacific Fighters forum or something like that
On u-boat flak guns had 1 purpose (as I think) to distract enemy pilots and making targeting difficult for them, blasting planes is actually a side effect
