88mm gun has much more pressure chamber compared to soviet 85mm so you can’t just rebore to use same shells and if you can’t use same shells there are no reasons to do so
Say it to ob640 — bvv_d said “there is no proof it can shoot so we won’t add it into the game”
It was a rebored AA gun - the 85mm 52-K - many of them were converted to fire 88mm FLAK ammo as 8.5 cm/8.8 cm FlaK M.39(r).
FLAK ammo was percussion fired, like the 85mm ammo - the 88mm KWK tank ammo was electrically fired, so not compatable at all.
There is plenty of evidence a rebored 52-K AA gun could shoot FLAK 36 ammo - and the gun was a reworked 52-K - apparently fitted with a tank breech block (which is not the chamber so dimansions not a problem)
As above - it was not a rebored tank gun - it was a rebored AA gun - which is a well known conversion widely documented as working perfectly well.

I doubt that there is any evidence otherwise i could find it. Can you provide me your sources?
Let me get this straight: germans rebored soviet AA-gun to 88mm and mounted it in tank turret?

cba to fully explain it so ill direct you to Table Size Productions on youtube.
Video discussing the tank from before it being found to be a real thing:
Video from after @Kefal_Bravo_690 did some great work proving it
Heres Kefal_Bravos suggestion for it to rightfully go to germany while im here

T34-88 wouldnt be premium it be tech tree like the AMD (PAK)
I could see that potentially happening with the German version

First the Sdkfz250/9 and RUSSIAN KING TIGER, and now this. Stop creating copy paste suggestions
Me knowing I have even more heinous suggestions in the works
Spoiler
Seriously though if you don’t like it don’t read them.

I’m doubtful.
I think Gajin just wanted to give the French a unique 2.7 light instead of just other allied equipment. For the Germans, it filled a gap left by the Puma being moved up.
T-34-88 is not needed as a researchable vehicle for Either Germany or USSR. Both already have have mediums at the BR.
Additionally, the T-34-88 has been very hyped up. I don’t think they would let that opportunity go to waste. They’re gonna sell it for actual cash if they do decide to add it. That, or a BP/Event vehicle.
There’s no rule that says he cannot or should stop creating suggestions for certain vehicles like this.
According to the guidelines, a suggestion is valid as long as it can be proved that the nation in question operated (in any way) the vehicle the OP is proposing.
It is what it is.
Nah I am showing up on each and every copy slop to vote no
I know, I hate it anyways
I was confused twice for this one. First when i saw the name of the suggestion (hasn’t this been suggested before?) and then upon seeing all the “No” votes (why wouldn’t this get support?). Then I saw that it was for the USSR. Ain’t no way this goes to them. This is a unique GERMAN modification which should go to GERMANY ONLY. In a rare instance of me refusing a captured vehicle as a premium, this needs to stay as a German vehicle. -1
Does it have better optics than 3,5x?
its best out come satisfies both sides its how i think most vehicles in its posistion should be handled tho im still mad they made every E model tank a premium
oh and if you not busy could you make a suggestion for the KV1 early that sweden has im kinda annoyed that that thing is even same br as Zis 5 and i have nothing to counter it other than TDs so i cant enjoy my heavy tank
An yes, the researchable KV-IB(e) in the Swedish TT
I think that each tech tree needs a mandatory TT vehicle of each class(light/medium, heavy, TD, SPAA). Give it by any means, even if u have to bend the rules cuz the only options are like O-I, KRV, that kinda stuff
I meant modified to fit / use Flak ammo, obv don’t know how much you would neet to modify though, but according to sources they were near a place that routinely ‘re bored’ barrels, so the most plausible and easiest fix would be to modify it with ‘flak 88’ parts
Germans already were using soviet 85mm AA guns with same’ish modifications to fit 88mm
Everything with a bofor to Sweden when?
