It is an anti aircraft artillery director. It was used by the Germans to listen for incoming bombers and then direct artillery and fighters into their path.

Yes, indeed this is true. Actually, both British and German equipment existed in this category. I should add that the opposing fighters particularly hated these devices. If they discovered the location of such a unit, it was often on their minds to attack it.

This equipment was actually quite effective in discerning the approximate altitude, bearing, and speed of aircraft, as well as being a kind of early warning system. The sound could usually be detected long before the aircraft was seen with the better equipment and well trained crew. The enemy would certainly like to destroy this if they had opportunity.

The possibility of these eventually becoming fuctioning models in Storm of War only blows my mind to blissful nuttiness! These and other developments will create true virtual war immersion in the Storm of War series.
