Maybe a folder addition?
Also I think remember seeing something about the mk2s having different stabilisation depending if it was the early or late version.
Really not worth the effort, should have been the 1.0 from the start. It’s literally the same vehicle, just with some extra plates to give cover for the gunner.
Mk I
Mk II
See that little bit of plate now surrounding the turret top? In-game it would have helped the gunner not get MG’d. As I said, probably not worth the effort at this point. Should have been the one in-game.

So we have 5 potential rounds available:
- AP: 1140 grains/0.074kg (rounded), muzzle velocity 2800 ft per second (assumed, based on minimum in manual)
- APHE: 1048 grains/0.068kg (rounded), muzzle velocity 3000 ft per second (assumed, based on manual)
- HE: 1048 grains/0.068kg (rounded), muzzle velocity 3000 ft per second (assumed, based on manual)
- HE Timed Fuse: 985 grains/0.064 (rounded), muzzle velocity 3150 ft per second (assumed, based on maximum in manual)
- AP W Mk Iz: 1160 grains/0.075kg (rounded), muzzle velocity 920 metres per second
Now the actual service AP W MkIz round should definitely replace the original one. Being the best available providing 38mm of penetration based on Gaijin’s calculator.
The ironic thing is the APHE round is massively buffed from the values given in the source (in real life solid shot gives more penetration than a hollow core) with 35mm of penetration using Gaijin’s calculator and the information I provided above. Even if you drop it to 2800 ft per second it’s still got 32mm of penetration.
The other thing to consider is that for AA work the rate of fire listed goes up to 520 rounds per minute as per the manual.
It is possible this has the 120 round belt box for each gun.
