What a load of horseshit. The cannon was designed to be an anti-tank cannon. There are so many sources out there that describe the cannons penetration statistics as >90mm @ 90° 300m and >40mm @60° 300m using armor piercing rounds. Most medium tanks come nowhere near that. The M4 sherman has 20-25mm on top. T-34s, T-54s, hell most of the heavies don't even have 40mm on top. And the fact that they used to be somewhat accurate and now aren't, kills me. Wow.
Whoops!

Seriously, his books are like Wikipedia 1.0 when it comes to WWII aircraft.
> Except 20mm APHE is performing realistically, if you're talking about the MG 151. [...] It historically penetrates 10mm of armor at 300m, which is pretty abysmal. That's like 7.62 FMJ penetration.
That's blatantly wrong, and the comparison to .303's is simply ridiculous.
