The Pvlvv fm/42 lacks the 20mm “HCHE-I-T” or “slbrandsgr m/51” round For its Akan m/40B
Slbrandsgr m/51 is a high capacity High Explosive incendiary Tracer or just a “Mine chell” to be more effective against aircraft.
Projectile weight: 0,145kg
Explosive filler: 0,0134 kg (Explosive-Incendiary filler.)
Velocity: 815 m/s~

Oh, very fascinating! It looks like they have it under consideration, so I’m hoping they add it soon, I’d love to check it out!
Shure, but, i wouldnt call a little bit more that 13g of filler for a 20mm round a HC round, when for example the 2 cm Flak 2 cm MX.Geschoss has almost double that. At 25g.
Right.
US and British Hispano HEFI shells contained 11.3g explosive incendiary mixture.
13.4g could indicate a higher content of incendiary material or some denser metal.
Like the German WW2 HEFI or HEFI-T, which contained 18-20g explosive filler, using zinc as incendiary element.
145g is far too heavy to be a Mineshell.
It is considdered a High-Capacity Incendiary Explosive by bofors standards, The LvAkan m/40B did fire relatively light rounds in general. But they needed a more effective HE-I-T round so they made the slbrandsgr m/51 that was more powerful than the normal HEI-T
Got some unfortunate news. The filler listed here also includes the incendiary mixture. The entire filler is called “Brandsprängsats nr 8” (Incendiary explosive mix #8), and only contains ~2.6 grams of PETN, the rest being the aforementioned incendiary mixture (~10.8 grams).

As expected.
But currently there’s no difference between a 20mm with 10g or even just 2.6g explosive filler anyway.
Apart from the fact that Gaijin ignores incendiary filler as source of damage, unfortunately.
Which is a real shame.
