in a horizontal way and used as an anti tank gun.http://en.wikipedia....lak_18/36/37/41

That is correct. The discovery of its effectiveness made the Germans realize the gun's potential for tank and anti tank usage.
But we are still referring to the fact that German tank mounted guns of early war period were not able to penetrate the KV tanks.
The 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 was not mounted nor used on a tank prior to Tiger series.
Quite a lot of field guns were able to knock out a tank.
So most German vehicles of early war period were not able to reliably penetrate KV series tanks.
