Dozens of F-8s served as various testbeds for anti-tank armament, including the WGr.28 280 mm air-to-ground missile, probably based on the projectiles from the Nbw 41 heavy ground-barrage rocket system, and the 88 mm (3.46 in) Panzerschreck 2 rockets, Panzerblitz 1 and R4M rockets.
The game, as well as the three follow on gamettes, was notable for its open-endedness, a trend in tactical board wargaming beginning from the late 1960s, and at least as early as far as Avalon Hill was concerned with PanzerBlitz.
