It had an improved rate of fire, increasing from the FlaK 30s 280 rounds per minute to 450 rounds, that’s a lot of lead in the air! Though normally best fired from the ground it could also be fired from it’s trailer, but with a limited traverse.
It had a maximum range of over 5 kilometres when firing at ground targets, though it would seldom have the visibility to engage targets at such extreme ranges. When firing at aircraft the gun could be elevated a full 90° (firing directly up).
