Access to the Flakturm can only gained via eight doors and one gate. Those are very heavy armored and can only be open by the Germans inside. Germans, to open this, go to the door or to an electric cabinet. In the centre, there is also an elevator which can rise up cars and tanks. The Flakturm can not be destroyed, only the guns can be destroyed by bombers. The guns are so powerfull, it can easily destroy a ship. There is also a radar available and a powerfull zoom function.
