I use the Skyguard with extreme effectiveness in any scale of battle, but I generally use it solo.
There is a very large learning curve on the Flak cannon, moreso than any other weapon in the game - but once you get its lead down you'll be devastating with it.
The best way to use the Skyguard I have found is by perching on a hill or cliff near the combat area - it has effective range of around 450m, so if you can see the target you can hit it. When I spawn the vehicle I also get rid of all the 20mm ammo and fill it full of Flak shot.
This vehicle is also great for tower/base supression fire, think of it as a long range artillery piece. You can 'shell' enemy towers, and though you wont pull massive kills out of it, you'll effectively supress the upper levels - couple that with your ability to keep the skies clear of enemy vehicles and you've just obtained air superiority.
I am the only skyguard driver on Konried that I know of, but if its in the sky, I'll be taking it out - the only thing the skyguard has trouble with is a very skilled Liberator pilot, and only then if the Lib pilot gets the drop on you.
