Its totally unrelated to the Hispano or the 37mm on the PT boat.

It has a 37 mm and the 40mm. You two talking about the same weapon?

*edit* I guess the 40mm on the PT would be more along the lines of the Bofors maybe?

He never said that it previosly didnt add the aircraft velocity to calculate the projectile speed..he said that what ever the muzzle speed was, it was used for penetration calculations. The muzzle velocity will depreciate farely quikcly for such a small round.
The IL2 will not be as effective.

Finally had a chance to try out the hurricane D (tanks to shoot are sometimes hard to come buy on these old little maps). 40mm is working much better when it connects, but I am sometimes seeing rounds bounce off a lot. It is odd how easy one tank will be then the next of the same model from the same spawn can seem so much tougher.

BTW is the 40mm related to the hispano (and/or is it the gun on back of PT boat?)
