There was a casual and brief discussion about how one would integrate flak-tanks into IR combat at the last can-am battle... I want one! :P

Flak tanks might either play as mission targets or as light tanks imho

"One reported instance records the Skink firing into a building occupied by about 50 German's, 10 of whom were wounded by HEI-T fragments and the remainder quickly surrendered. Combat experience with this single vehicle was certainly too brief to draw any real conclusions about its effectiveness"

Found this on the web

As far as one of the above mentioned suppliers ,I would not not trust them for anything with their previous questionable reputation.

I agree, there is a scene, in "Saving Private Ryan", during the final battle where several of the U.S. troops are on top of the Tiger I trying to get inside and a group of German's push a 20mm Flak gun up and start blasting away at them. I would say the carnage would be even worse if this beast had been tracked, armored, and mobile!!!

While the shell might not penetrate the front of the T34 the sheer noise would have been stunning (literally).

There is a video on youtube with a guy (crazy Russian or something) firing a Bofors and the noise from it is quite exceptional.
