History
Originally, the Flak 36 was able to fight aircraft flying at 4,200 meters effectively. The Flak 36 was mass deployed when it was deemed that the 20 mm flak guns were insufficient to fight the Soviet air support in the Eastern front and was meant to largely replace the 20 mm FlaK cannons. Later on, the Flak 42 version was made introducing such things as a gas-operated breech and a lower weight from 1,550 kg to 1,250 kg.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
