The Flakvierling 38 is a special quad anti-aircraft gun available in Hidden & Dangerous 2.
Description[]
Most of the essential specifications are the same as the ordinary FlaK 38, except that they are all multiplied by four. The Flakvierling 38 is made by mounting four individual FlaK 38s on a single mount, and connecting them with a fire link system, allowing the gunner to fire two guns individually or all at once for powerful quad blast. The gun was controlled by two hand wheels which adjusted elevation and traverse, while a pair of foot pedals were used to fire. The Flakvierling 38 was usually mounted in flak towers and other permanent mounts, but was also mounted on panzer tanks, open load bed half-tracks or ships, it should be considered far more dangerous than the standard version.
In Game[]
The Flakvierling 38 is encountered once in Hidden & Dangerous 2 during Operation Snowball - Iceberg. It can be found mounted on the quarter deck of the U-boat surfaced at the German meteorlogical research station.
