The 8.8cm wasn't an exception, it's just that it's become well-known for it's anti-tank capabilities. People don't think about the 90mm M2, the 76mm M1938, or the 85mm 52-K gun as being used in the anti-tank role, even though they were. The 8.8cm was I think used more and issued to dedicated anti-tank formations, but that's in part I think a result of the Germans running into better-armored tanks early in the war that made adapting a stopgap like this more necessary.ORIGINAL: zgrssd
To my knowledge, teh 8.8 cm FLAK was the exception for being useable in anti-ground useage. Machineguns are ground weapons with minimal AA ability.
But most other AA weapons are utterly useless vs ground targets - like, you can not even fire them onto most ground targets.
