Default British Crusader AA Mk I - 40MM - unit 80

The British Crusader AA Mk I is described as having a 2 Pdr AA gun.

I found a couple of sources that say this was actually a Bofors 40mm gun (as this was an AAA unit, this makes sense).

http://www.wwiivehicles.com/unitedki...iser/mk-vi.asp

http://www.ipedia.net/information/Crusader+tank

Of course the Bofors did fire a 2 pound round, so perhaps this caused some confusion.

Anyway,in SP the Crusader's AA gun is listed as:
ACC:10 Kill:14 Pen:1/2 Range:40 HE:35 AP:5

The Bofors (unit 64) is listed as:
ACC:14 Kill:15 Pen:1/7 Range:46 HE:35 AP:5

Compare this to the German SP 3.7cm Flak 36*:
ACC:14 Kill:14 Pen:1/6 Range:41 HE:35 AP:5

The Crusader's 40mm Bofors was issued with some AP rounds which had a 2.7" (7cm) penetration at 0 range.

Do you think the Crusader AA MK I should actually have a Bofors?
