A "2 Pdr AA Gun" is a 40mm AA .

OK?

And yes, the 20mm Oerlikon was made and used by Australians. It was aboard nearly every ship in that navy. If you look real close at the OOB you'll see that the 20mm Oerlikon (weapon slot 147) is in fact already used by six units in that OOB. As well the 20mm Polsten AA, which is virtually the same gun is used in the Buffalo IV amphib.
Now. you PROVE to me that it was used in a ground mount by the army and I'll put it into the OOB as such.



Don
Don I did not imply that the Oerlikon was ground mounted.

With respect to the 2 Pounder AA gun why this instead of say a Bofors 40 mm AA gun?

Also waht was/is the 1.5 Pounder AA Gun?
