I thought the poll was speaking of real life. Not gaming…. 88mm FLaK. The Germans figures out during the Spanish Civil War that these were good in an anti-tank role and put them to use in 1940 during the Battle for France. They remained in service till the end, defeating pretty much anything the Allies could put up against them. My 2 cents. Dave |

Tiger tanks, MG 42s and 88s; these are the weapons mentioned in memoirs. |

I voted for the Soviet Zis-3. Better than the PAK 40, and was used both in the AT role and for barrage HE fire. |

Presumably when it says AT gun it includes guns mounted in tank turrets, not just on gun carriages, in which case the German 88mm must win hands down as it was used in more tanks and tank destroyers, besides as an AT gun ion it's own right than any of the others in the poll |

No, it means AT Guns. Many tank turret guns were not used as AT Guns. |

Not on the list but I would have voted for the 88mm PAK43,
Unmatched long range hitting power and accuracy. |

@pzivh43 The 7.5 cm FK 40 was an AT gun modified for dual AT/field gun role . |
