Default Re: 2 Pounder AA GUN ???????

Don, thany you for this.
I only made reference to the 3.7 inch Anti Aircraft gun as it would be an alternate to the ‘3in Vickers AA’ in Unit #205 Static AA Gun.
I was not advocating Heavy Anti Aircraft gun use in the game.

The only reference I have to the 3.7 Inch being used as a ground based weapon was at Milne Bay, August 1942. Here the guns were used in an indirect fire role as the 25 pounders did not have the range and could not be moved. The 3.7 inch shells were fitted with the 25 pounder shell’s fuses.
Ref:

This is the simplest reference to this but I do have others as well as a copy of the original ‘test results’ to say this fuse adaptation worked.

At present I don’t have any other reference to this gun being used in a similar role, simply as I have not been looking for such references. This does not say it did not occur. If I happen to find any I will pass it along.
