Hi Nick,
There was a long discussion on another forum on this subject. Please see:

To your second question. No no Flak gun can be made to aim at and hit a specific part of an aircraft, and BTW German light Flak was only radar equipped on an experiental basis, I'm not sure if any of these systems were ever fielded operationally.
