Very interesting post. It shows even among types of ammo (such as AP) there’s many different variants.

I am adding the 20mm Mg 204 as well as making a suggestion for the Bv 138 in game for the option to recive the Mg 204.
Does anyone know of other planes that recived the Mg 204 with pictures.
I found the source of mk103 hvap at RL 3/2371. is this ammo should has 96mm pen?

Technically, with 100kg/cm² Steel plate at 300m 90° impact.
So they basically nerfed it to have the penetration against 150kg/mm^2 armor.
Even though that armor hardness isn’t used when it comes to AP calculation.
YVa-23 23mm API penetration against 150kg/mm^2 armor at 100m → 30mm
In WT → 42mm

Maybe a report for adjusting of the K Factor like with some other HVAP rounds already?
Potentially

Why’s the weight different? Shouldn’t they fire the same shell?
1.466kg makes some sense. It’s lighter than the 50mm shell but the 50mm shell also appears to be longer.
Aparently they dont shoot the same shell, one has 2 and the other only 1 driving band, i suppose its shorter. Maybe the filler is wrong, or only the bottom thinner, i dont know tbh.
