Add 37mm armor piercing rounds to Bf 110 G-2

I hope the official will add armor piercing shells to the 37mm automatic gun of Bf 110 G-2 in the next version, slightly enhancing its ability to destroy armored units. Although rockets can still be used nowadays, to be honest, they are not very easy to aim.

I thought they already had
But if you use better armor-piercing bullets for him, the level will increase.
Then there will be nothing that can fight against the low-level rockets of the other two camps.

Haha, I didn’t make it clear. It was my fault. What I wanted was to add armor piercing rounds to the 37mm automatic gun while maintaining the same level.

The 37mm on the Bf-110 G2 already has HVAP. It uses the default belt from War Thunder with a mix of HVAP and HE.

Every second shot should be the HVAP but as every single shot of the 37mm explodes it seams unlikely that they actually use the AP rounds. And even when strafing vehicles it doesnt seam to do much even though 100mm pen should basicly always pen.

So most likely bugged and gets overridden somewhere by the HE.

It doesn’t seem like it has, because now it can’t penetrate the BT-5 in the training ground.

yeah i use this plane nonstop for its fun and it basically never kills vehicles. it used to in the past but now its bugged

Just created a bug report so please bump it up with " got the same issue" to make sure devs see it in a timely manner.
It is called “BK 3.7 not fireing the AP rounds (only HE)”

It uses HVAP, i tested it a while ago to see the damage stats of the 37mm HE, and every second shot had no damage, but the HVAP is probably bugged

Okay, could you please provide feedback to the official team and fix this bug so that the 37mm armor piercing bullet can be used normally.

If it uses HVAP they why does every single shot explode? And if it ideed fires the HVAP then yes it is bugged and cant even pen the sides of light tanks and is utterly useless until fixed.

good question, a bug of some kind with the hit effects i guess
I figured out the problem with 37mm HVAP tho, it simply doesn’t have code for penetration, so that’s why it doesn’t do anything

Okay, since it’s confirmed that this is a bug, I hope it can be fixed in the next version update, or fixed in a health action in advance.

Now I know why I often can’t open cans these days
