Default Re: 37mm Bofors in British service

That isn't necesary this gun is in british OOB in weapon slot. You moust see weapon 015 this is 37mm bofors. Today is used only by unit 252 LRDG Chevy ATG (gun on truck).

I think this units need a new picture for example this http://odkrywca.pl/forum_pics/picsforum9/v_bofors1.jpg
