The 37mm and 40mm AA is the same round as their airborne counterparts fired? I* doubt it..

Achtung Panzer! PzIV
Achtung Panzer! Panther
I think it would take ALOT of luck to penetrate a Panther with the 40mm +)

Was thinking Bofors and Vickers, not Vickers and Flak 38.

The whole generalization of 40mm's as 2 lbers and all that.

The PT carried a single for anti-shipping use, and all it carries are HE rounds.

I believe the 37mm Flak guns adapted to aircraft use on the Stuka *did* fire the same cartridge tho.

Im not sure but I think Stuka used a special AP round for the 37mm.

It has something like double or more the HE capability of the Hispano HE shell plus its lighter than other Mg151 shells so has higher velocity.

Higher velocity than what? other MG151 ammo or Hispano ammo? I think you mean other 151 ammo but please clarify.

Mg151, only a bit faster but hey the Mg151 could use every bit.

Yet another thread that started out about one thing but has now become a "How does the German stuff compare to the Allied stuff" thread.

Don't worry Karnak, in most cases it simply doesn't compare.
