NS-37 37mm cannon:
AP = 900m/sec muzzle velocity and 298,000 joules at the muzzle
HE = 900/sec muzzle velocity and 175,000 joules at the muzzle


The Yak-9T is armed with a single NS-37 37mm cannon firing HE rounds.

Oh..my....god.

The round itself also has a sway in killing power. The HE on the Yak9T is almost impossible to kill tanks with (pnzr, etc), but with the AP it would be quite capable.


Only, the yaks never got AP ammo Hence the request for the same gun on the IL2

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that the FLAK 18 was the early version of the "88mm AA gun" or 88 mm Kwk 36 L/56 gun that had the one piece barrel.

Surely the German 37mm on the Ju-87G had a different name and you are confusing it..

[Krusty]

I just pulled it off the caption in the image above. I had THOUGHT it was called a BK 3.7 but saw that other name and.. well, went with that.

There was a 37mm Flak 18 as well as a 88mm Flak 18.

Hope Waffle decides to model it .

[Pannono]

correct me if im wrong, but the description said that it can carry approx 4k of bombs when cannons were NOT fitted. I propose that we get ridda the D and make one variant, with the 37mm loadout, the MG loadout, and the bomb loadout in the hangar. howzit sound?

Thanks for the mention 

There is an article describing and giving details of all of the WW2 tankbuster aircraft guns here: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/tankbusters.htm

The ammo pics from it, from which you can get an idea of the relative performance:



.50 BMG, 20mm Hispano, 23mm VYa, 30mm MK 101/3, NS-37, BK 3,7, 40mm Vickers S Gun



German ammo: 20mm MG 151, 30mm MK 101/3, BK 3,7, BK 5, BK 7,5

I'll go in for a third of the cost, if anyone is game.










(You think I'm joking?)
