US SPAA insanity at BR 4.0 (72mm pen)

IF it is possible, M42 recieves a he-vt (since it is a later SPAA with different 40mils maybe it was issued some of these shells at one point) and sent to above the skink or preferably replace the skink.

Nope, never did unfortunately, according to its manual

Ostwinds have too low penetration to reliably engage standard tanks.

Gajin isn’t based enough to add this, but the Ostwind and Ostwind II should theoretically be able to handle heavier armor…

H-Pzgr. L’Spur. o.Zerl. (HVAP-T (I)) 0,405/0,410 kg 1170/1150m/s 16,1x85mm 231g core 110-112mm/10m

Note: Only against Tanks, where other Ap rounds cant penetrate. The Carrier has an Incendary effect when melting upon impact.
The Shell first 405g at 1170m/s then later on 410-418g at 1146-1150m/s. This could be a slight design change or a general allowed production variation, which increased later on.

There was also a solid shot AP available, which would be a little less crazy. Similar but slightly lower pen to the 40mms.

No? If you do know of one let me know. c:

It was definitely in one of your cannon threads…

Then it most definitly turned out to be a missidentification of the 700g Pzgr.18. That i had corrected.
