at least on a paper comparison, it comes out surprisingly well against the more famous 40mm bofors
it fires a lighter projectile at a lower velocity, but it fires faster and weights less

though that bit about less energy in its shell would hinder its post-war development
against jets, range was king, so there just wanst any point in using the 37mm over the 40mm, and the 40mm was more widely available since everyone liscense built it during the war

What isn't worth a 120 but doesn't get fucked by a .50, not much.
Definitely nothing common enough to warrant the weight space and complexity over the browning that will outlast the designer's bloodline and can be loaded by the limp wristed anime brained tank coomander

Possibly a dumb question: how did 2-gunner AA guns work? One guy adjusted for lead, the other for elevation? That seems incredibly awkward if so.

No, the self-propelled artillery piece was in 15,5. That one they actually fielded.

The coax bit is dumb. In a CROWS, especially radar linked it makes sense.
>>64262850
Most coax is 7.62 though.

Unless I'm wrong that's modern coax which isn't coax so much as ranging ammo that you're not supposed to use
I assumed anon was refering to those specifically used as a gun for softer targets

Yes, but it was probably less awkward than you imagine. Focusing on only one aspect of the aiming sequence was just faster than having someone operate both st the same time
