20mm...

Although I think on the small AF behind the VH there's a non-man able square gun that is 37mm.

I thought all ack was 37mm, except those on the CV which obviously are different (ie: 20mm's, 5'. etc).

auto ack can't be 37mm. one ping would rip your wing off.

I think it's 20, someone even claimed it was less. Think about all the hits you can take from it before critical damage occurs.

Auto Ack is 20mm, Mannable Ack is 37mm.

On CV's you can man single 20mm positions, quad 40mm, single and double 5", and those lovely big guns on the cruiser. :D

The new destroyers look to have single 5" guns on them, don't know if we can man those when the new patch comes or not.

I though the old destroyers also had 5" guns; but they were never manned.:)

auto is 20mm afaik, but it seems a little uber sometimes..  I.E. I fly the Jug and have been instantly sent to the tower by 1 ping from it while pulling up after a bomb/rocket/straffing run.

At least graphically, they were changed to 40mm Bofors cannons. The hanger says 37mm still, however.
