Absolutely. It's good enough to be a challenge, but not good enough to be an "I Win" button, and players have to fight smart if they want to get full advantage out of it. I'd much rather see something like that in play than a full-on MBT.

The whole valley could be covered by 88s, and the local militia all outfitted in 1940s uniforms, helmets, StG44's, etc.
Or they only have two working towed 88s. Everything else is blanks, pyros, painted telephone poles, and other decoys - with larger "firing" signatures than the two real guns. Have fun wasting your ammo shooting up those fake positions!
