- Low penetration with stock high-explosive ammunition
History
The Type 88 was the most produced Japanese medium anti-aircraft cannon during World War II. The Type 88 AA was designed to replace the earlier Type 11 design from World War I. A modern medium anti-aircraft gun developed for the Imperial Japanese Army, the gun was not a straight copy of any foreign design, but an amalgamation of the best aspects of foreign designs according to the Army Technical Bureau, but the primary influence was the British OQF 3in 20cwt anti-aircraft gun from World War I.
Adopted in 1928 (on the Gregorian calendar, 2588 on the Japanese Imperial calendar hence the Type 88 designation), 2,000 guns were ultimately built and used by every field artillery unit for medium-level air defense. While it was battle-proven during the 1937 Invasion of Manchuria, the 1938 Soviet-Japanese Border Conflicts, and the 1937-1945 Second Sino-Japanese War, it was obsolete by 1941. It was still effective against the obsolete aircraft used in China and was also used during the war as an anti-tank gun which was particularly effective against the M4 Shermans at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The gun was also planned for use on the Kei-Tei Mod. Kō studied but never finished during 1945. The final significant role was the defense of the Japanese Home Islands against the Allied Bombing Campaign. However, they were not capable of shooting down the high altitude B-29 Superfortresses leading to an experimental attempt to mount the Type 88 on the Ki-109 to counter these aircraft, though it never made it into production.
