The 88 flak had great success in Operation Goodwood in Normandy (and the Wetern Desert). The surviving Brittish tank crews complained that at no time could they tell where the AT guns were firing from. This is because the guns were engaging at ranges up to 2000m. In CC the maps are around 600/700m. At that range the 88s would have pulled back to a new location. So really it's a case of the wrong weapon for this type of scenario. Dump it out of the abs file and replace it with 50 or 75mm guns. I remember in one mod a few years ago there was a plugin that allowed 75mm guns to go in buildings and hedges, and they were invisible beyond 30m untill they fired. Could do with that for all versions. Though in recent versions the trend seems to be more small rooms in the buildings, which prevents gun placement within. In reality guns were seldom in building as buildings draw fire. But for game play some sort of protection is needed, seeing as the game does'nt allow you to dig it in so the barrel just clears the ground, and camm it up so you can't see it from 30m away. The German 75mm AT gun was formidable when dug in and cammed up, but none of the CCs have quite managed to protray that in game. You can up their protection so they stay in the fight longer. Also in some versions you can place them behind a hedge so your sight line is dark green. This allows you to bang away without getting spotted. Being a dark green line means your shots are not so accurate, but you get more shots of undetected.
