nvm i f up
There is no information that they shoved a bunch of electronic primers in l60 shells so they could be fired out of the bagel.
they dont need to they just make new rounds with the electric primer
mate u can use a naval gun to shoot ground units???
Once again there is no evidence of this being done. And again from the official brochure it describes the role of the bagels 57mm as useful against both armored and unarmored attack helicopters.
It mentions nowhere in any source ive read that the bagels 57mm was intended for anti tank use.
Sounds more to me u just dont like it and grasp at straws
This does not imply the usage of AP shells for that use. Because they would use HE as it does way more damage in that role.
Also again the official brochure for the bofors 57mm describes their use as anti ship and anti air as a CIWS role.
That reminds me, have you guys found any sources of the Bagel having an EWS for helicopters?
I already said this in this Bagel thread, the actual official brochure says it had AP, APHE as well as some sort of APDS (with no specification of FS of not)

Yes and u use AP against ships…
Such small calibers are not typically used against ships to begin with. Existance of such autocannons used on ships is for close anti-air use.

except there is no l70 AP mentioned for the bofors 57 ship cannons.
That is one line. One line that isnt very descriptive.
Where is any info proving they modified l60 shells or designed new ammo for it?
Patrol boats and pirate crafts would take a beating from even 57mm HE. Likely the anti ship use case mentioned.
That’s what pisses me off about some of these brochures… Mentions something interesting but doesn’t follow up with more information… AAAAAAAA
And for all we know these were paper shells that were planned to be designed but never were because the project failed.
Its like looking at a brochure for the pz7 lowe and saying “see this says it could penetrate 290mm of armor so that means its accurate”

yeah… Fair enough
Found some stuff on the bagel
A few mentions of the helicopter sensor and a photo of a bagel fitted with one

It doesn’t do 50G overload. VT-1 can’t follow a jet flying a basic turn and I doubt any jet is maneuvering more than 50G irl, the pilot would be dead instantly and the fuselage would rip into pieces. Only logical conclusion is that VT-1 does ingame around 10-15G, not more. Otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for a jet to bank away that easily.
