Heavy AA Gun Turret Class: Open Turret Type: Rotating Crew: 7 Speed: Fixed
Place Weight: 2,445
lb. (1,111 kg) Engine: N/A
As
the name implies, this weapon was used primarily to defend against air attacks.
Anti-aircraft guns were pressed into anti-tank service once it was discovered
that their high velocity projectiles could penetrate thick armor. The 90mm
AA guns were used as stopgap protection to counter the threat from Tiger
and Panther tanks.
You
will rarely see these big guns in your arsenal, use them wisely. A well-placed
90mm AA gun can break up an entire armored column. While the 90mm gun can't
fire quite as fast as traditional anti-tank guns, you should still be able
to get the drop on most German tanks. Since you will not be able to place
this unit in buildings, protect its flanks with structures and wooded areas.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
