Quad 50 has a bigger HE kill (19) than that of twin Bofors (18) or single one (15) of the U.S. version. So maybe the damage of the two can be comparable.
You are more than likely correct. I was attempting to test when AAA units would engage, not whether or not they hit and what damage the hit caused. Some AAA units are multi-barrelled, others have a very high rate of fire and still others are a combination of both, so HE value is probably used instead of WH value. I was thinking along the lines of normal guns (not AAA and machine guns) when I made the comment about warhead size. For those guns, the HE value and WH value are usually directly proportional.
