New 88 needs loads of work :(

[delems]

ok, sorry to say....  the new 88 needs tons of work to be useful; rather have a pak 40 or pak 38 any day.

1) cmdr can't see anything when trying to move.

2) cmdr can't see over hills or berms in front of him - yet the gunner can.

3) 88 gun depression to restricted, irl guns would setup behind ridge and dig in - we can't dig in.. hence we need more gun depression to make up for it. (when setup just behind ridge)

Commander is standing on the ground, gunner is sitting up on the gun
nothing has changed there since the 88 came into the game

Same with gun depression, nothing changed there

And yet it was very useful to those who used it well.
And they didnt even have PPO's back then

No one can dig into the backside of a ridge, but you can set PPOs just over the crest to give cover.

...and tell the enemy 88 just over the ridgeline!

Undeployed view with shields is a travesty.

Fixed, pending Q&A and suitable patch release. Probably not going to get my Sunday refunded however.

Back when I worked two or three thousand hours forum-modding, I don't recall anyone sending me time in a box, either. Such is the fate of volunteers, I guess.
