However, both guns should differ in performance (now they have AP pen 5). According to Kliment/Francev book on Czech AFVs, A3 penetrated vertical cemented armour 45 mm at 500m, and A7 - 50mm at 500 m. Unfortunately, there are many conflicting data on 37mm guns, but A7 is rather regarded as better than German 3.7cm KwK (Kliment and Francev also claim so). Maybe it should have pen=6? (the same applies to LT-38/PzKpfw 38 in all OOBs)
Michael........this game deals armour in centimetres and that's the way it was originally designed at the outset and that's the way it will stay. We use standard rounding up / down practice for both armour values and AP penetration so a gun that can penetrate 45mm is rated 5 pen....if it was 44mm it would be a 4 and a gun that is rated 50mm pen would be rated 5 pen just as a gun that penetrates 54mm would be. 6 pen is reserved for weapons that can penetrate 55mm - 64mm and will not be used for guns that do not penetrate that much. After all these years it's a bit strange I have to explain that.
