indeed, the 40mm Bofors and 3.7 cm Flak 36 would be my personal favorites for "playable" AA guns in CoD.

A quad 20mm wouldn't be so boring either.. or a pom-pom :D

It'd be hard getting half a dozen people online to properly handle one of the big guns.

It can be MUCH simpler then that.
You are just over complicating the processes to make it acruate.

The key was the spotter, who used a giant binocular to track the EA and provide range data. He would then adjust his track to compensate for wind and vector changes to target.

Spotter could control a battery of 4 to 8 heavy AA guns.

Of course the shells would need to very imprecise to reflect real world forces.

For you, someone made "Railworks2: Trainsimulator". It's available on Steam. :wink:

Now that would be neat - being a battery director!

Driving a car with some fighter-bomber jock trying to make Swiss cheese out of you should be quite a thrilling experience, for sure.
