Autocannons, are they as good as they look on paper?

[Kritkeen]

I can't speak for all autocannons in the game but my experience with Pz-II autocannons is opposite. I tend to get a hit at least every 2 or 3 shots under 500m on another tanks of similar size like Polish 7TP or Vickers. And maybe get 50-50 change on damaging or outright destroying them.

But against soft targets I only get good results at 150m or less.

As for splash or blast-area chance damage, some versions of the autocannons have that but not all. Early SdKfz 222's have that from the top of my head.
