Thanks Don, your answer helps me to appreciate the gameplay mechanics better.

For context, the reason I looked at this weapon was a nasty experience at the hands of a swarm of Daimler A/Cs that punched holes in my limited number of AFVs at over 1km (I was hull-down, they were moving over 10mph). This I couldn't square with WWII accounts of the 2pdr being obsolete due to lack of punch and range. I fully appreciate your comment about the multitude of conflicting accounts. So far I've played most games in the 50s and 60s and it can be a real pain tracking down both data and combat accounts. All credit to the team for the research done on weapons performance, this is the first time I felt aggrieved at getting smoked so badly (normally it's my own fault for dumb tactics).

Looking at the data I guess I just got unlucky with hits on the weaker side armour - but luck is one of the compelling game features. I'll keep the default values and revise tactics next time I see this lot charging over the hill.
