Many thanks for taking the interest in this mod! I have had several things in my mind, but now I am ready to answer.
The Bunkerflak icon: Yes, it is true, the elevation of the "old" Bufla is just too high. At the time I created the icon I didn't think about a lower elevation. This would have been less complicated, but I was not too experienced at this time. So, the Bunkerflak was created similar to an old icon before, which was wrong. (I think the former icon came from Balck
)
(BTW: If there is a mod upgrade, the new bunkerflak icon will most likely be incorporated (alongside E tanks).)
The usage of the Bunkerflak (historically): This was a mere anti-tank weapon. The elevation limits did not allow for flak use. However, it is possible to "pummel" areas with artillery fire as well without engaging too much. I wanted that to be reflected somehow, so I created a range 1 artillery sub-function. This was also in line with all the other anti-tank guns, at least most of them. Feel free to delete it, if it sounds too weird.
Now the real stuff I am thinking about:

(AT unit #1 switch to flak unit #2), (Flak unit #2 switch to Aty unit #3), (Aty unit #3 switch to AT unit #1) or it wont work
I was thinking about the same idea quite some time when working at the mod. I went through some testing with this, even with infantry and airplane units.
However, and maybe I am wrong, but I got weird results with triple switches. Meaning when I implemented this there was always some interruption and I could not switch anymore. It just stopped.
I was not able to find the reason for this, so I decided to keep it safe. So, only two switches are possible for 8.8 normal flaks as for now.
Although it is quite possible that I will start another test run with this, I am still skeptical about proper function about a triple switch. Do you think it works? However, if you find out that a triple switch would work, then the likelyhood is great for an appropriate mod upgrade.
Please inform me when this works, although I have different stuff up and running.
