| Umm, I know this is a bit late, but just in reply to a post stating "pity they didn't put sights on the 3.7 in aa gun", they did.
Middle east sights were fitted to 3.7" aa guns for use in an AT role. http://discussions.playnet.com/viewt...=asc&sta rt=0 | |

Country:  | No, I said pity they didn't manual sights, and my comment was about the original production 3.7 inch AA cannons.

| If the Germans had made the same mistakes (ie not attacking the Home Chain stations and RAF fields) then I think the BoB would still have been won with the Hurricane, but the cost would be higher.

Country: | I agree, we would have.
'What if' we dropped bombs instead of leaflets in 1939 when Germany was still in Poland, do you think we could have ended it then? (Including an assault as well, not just dropping bombs)
