Description
The KwK36 (88 mm) is in large part identical to the FlaK 37 (88 mm) cannon, however, excluding the recoil system.
Used to arm the Tiger 1 line of tanks.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Based on the 88 mm flak gun. Originally made specifically for the Tiger I tank.
Available ammunition
Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
With a very flat trajectory, the KwK 36 gives the player a high margin of error in aiming whilst the high penetration makes sure that just hitting a target will most likely disable or destroy it.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Flat trajectory, provides a predictable path of flight
- Relatively high penetration no matter what angle it hits
- High accuracy, easier to fire for the less experienced
Cons:
- Slow reload, allows the enemy to fire back if not finished off in one shot
History
A FlaK 37 (88 mm) gun which is modified to take up less space due to a different style recoil system.
Originally ordered to arm the Tiger series of tanks with an 88 mm cannon.
Later on, the KwK 43 (88 mm) would be developed, prototyped and produced from the inspiration provided by the effectiveness of the KwK36 (88 mm).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
