Pat, Aircraft "AP" ratings come from the weapon "HE" ratings.

The AP slot .........

MOBHACK HELP

Class 11 air cannon can only use HE ammo as the AP round number is used as the number of cannon, so if they have an armour piercing capability then this is reflected in an HE AP rating, not an AP round rating

So the 25mm GAU-12 has a penetration rating of 6

Just wanted to put this information where it belongs. These videos show why the bomber/fighter bomber issue should see some improvement in the game primarily in the area of vision and to some degree targeting as these systems are tied into the on board weapons systems. I'm not all about air, though I have my favorites such as SPOOKY etc., as much as trying to improve elements of the game as much as my (Others) supporting refs will allow the developers to do so with the game architecture.
The newest version of LITENING is now pretty much on par with SNIPER and you will hear the comparison made in the first video. The key here is the range the video shot from an adjusted 11NM out on what appears to be an air museum as you'll see an SR-1 just above and to the left of the B-52.

2. Next is an overview of it's capabilities, platforms to include helos (AH-1Z w/TSS shown.) and targeting video scenes. The portion I described as 25NM is actually 35NM, it's been awhile since I last looked, as indicated in the MBT Post #183 most recently, I've had some of this for awhile now as noted.

3. The last shows it's air to air capabilities, point being nothing on the ground or water will get away. Also at an extended range.

This is my direction with the air issue though there are some EW improvements to be made on a handful of units such as the B-52 also.

I acknowledge the MALD-J answer here as well-thank you!

Pat
