Pak 43/41: Deadlier than the Flak 88

Описание к видео Pak 43/41: Deadlier than the Flak 88

This video covers the 88mm Pak 43/41 (trail mount) and Pak 43 (cross mount). This gun weighs almost 4.5 metric tons and served with the German Army during WW2. Although it had a high accuracy and penetration, the height and weight were particularly troublesome. In this video, we look at the gun and particularly at 4 experience reports, 2 from summer 1943 and 2 from February 1944, which gives a better understanding about the capabilities and limits of this gun.

DISCLOSURE: I was invited by the Tank Museum at Bovington in 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2023.
