It does look like an anti tank gun now you mention it.. But the barrel length seems a bit AA also, maybe it's not British?

It's a good find though!

Yeah maybe its not British maybe is a Soviet ZiS-2? Too bad we can't get a develeoper to answer this for us.

another view with spit for size comparison ,and a french puteaux 25mm which looks a bit like it

Nice close up with the Spitfire. Its a Pak40! Has to be, perhaps dropped in?

from what i have read from around 1917 defenses were set up from dover up to sandwich. most were 40 bofors and 3.7 and 4.5 guns. the one dave found looks closer to the 3.7. with a muzzle break...the 4.5 has uprights on either side of the barrel. other than that i cant find who other than a scottish outfit was in the area. it was on a direct course from france to london so could have been along one of the "buzzbomb alleys". perhaps the devs just put a gun there because there was one in the area. here's a couple of sites with pics. might try bombing it next time and see what happens...easter egg??

that is a better pic, dave. hmmmm

It looks alot like it. But how would it every get into the UK? Perhaps a developer accidently placed it.
