I think that you are wrong.  151 Mine rounds have a MV around 800 m/s.  All other 151 rounds have a MV around 705m/s.

Niklas charts show a MV for the 151 nearly identical to that of ShVak (which is 800 m/s) and much closer to the HS than it would be if it was an AP round.

I was under the impression that the largest 151 he round(mine) was a bigger projectile with alot more chemical energy but it had poorer ballistic qualities.
But I rebuilt my pc and lost my ww2 cannon web link...
Ill take your word for it though

Minus, the Fw190A8 is VERY deadly with its cannons both historically, and in AH. Its nickname of the "ButcherBird" is appropriate. Especially against bombers.

Just because the -1C is more deadly, doesn't make the 190 incorrect, or either plane unrealistic.

I'll find funny that I prefer more likely Spitfire for buff hunting than 190.. just because of it's Hispanos which blows up whole plane instead of just damaging and then blowing up. (and I thought that 4 HE cannons were more fearsome for buffers than 2 AP cannons..)

Would I hold out on you  ? Here is one place that has a little bit of information:

 http://otitsun.oulu.fi/~pkoski/151-ammopreview.html

The second round is the Mine round.

HE/I projectile weighs 115g, 705 m/sec muzzle velocity, contains 2.3g PETN and 2.1g of incendiary compound.

Mine projectile weighs 92g, 785 m/sec muzzle velocity, contains 18.6g PETN.

I don't strike against other people unless they've done it to me first.
I see no reason to apologize anything because I haven't heard apologize from you, who started it.

I figured you would be in denial about this. You just can't face up to being wrong can you? As I said before, your expertise is in the bovine byproduct arena.
