Historical authenticity and accuracy

The 12.8 cm Flak 40 was one of the heaviest anti-aircraft guns used by Germany during World War II (1939–1945). Introduced into service by the Third Reich, this gun was primarily used to defend Berlin and other key targets against Allied air raids. It was mainly installed on stationary Flakturm gun towers and used on special railway platforms or mobile Type 2 chassis, which also allowed it to operate as an anti-tank weapon.
