the 37mm L36 Type 94 #13 has much better stats using AP out till around 450m.

The weapons seem to be working as expected to me - have a play with the utilities provided with the game.

I did use the utility and it is as you said. Note I did not know this utility existed until now.

I think this is an instance where the only time AP will be fired is when the tank runs out of HE. Seems AP for this gun is pointless. Having said that I've never tried it in the same hex.
