It has just occured to me that British tanks were outgunned by the German 88mm for much of the war, yet we never seemed to employ the 3.7 inch (95mm) AA gun to anti tank use or even consider putting it in a tank.
Was this ever considered? If it was too big to go into a tank it could still have been used as an anti tank gun, but I don't recall it ever being used for that. We certainly had a good example from the German's use of the 88 in North Africa. Was there no armour piercing shell for it?
Is this a silly question?
