Keep in mind that the light AA-guns in the game (as well as historically) fired bursts rather than single rounds. This is represented in game with a limited ammo load and high HE kill rating.

For example the 37 mm AA-gun in this example has a HE kill rating of 11 per burst, while a 37 mm gun firing individual rounds would have a HE kill rating of 1. Taking this into account, I think the ammo load in the game sounds quite reasonable.
