Simon Fox Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Good stuff Mike. I was going to add in that other arty thread that the Brits used their 3.7in heavyAA on occasions in a ground role. But I see from that site that it was more common than I thought. I wonder if they used timed air burst with it? I suspect they did because this use of heavy AA they picked up in the desert from the Germans who often used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted May 8, 2001 Author Share Posted May 8, 2001 I know they used it as FA from time to time - I hadn't read that part of the article yet tho'!! AFAIK they did use the airburst, but I don't know if that was all they used, or if they used the plain contact HE on occasion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
