The actual Ho-204 ammo option should be a HE-I shell with a muzzle velocity of 710 m/s. The Ho-203 and Ho-204 both used the same projectile, however the Ho-203 used a 37 x 112mm rimless cartridge and the Ho-204 used a 37 x 144mm rimless cartridge. As a result, the Ho-204 had more propellant charge loaded
