MG C/30L (20 mm)

Description

The MG C/30L (20 mm) is an experimental version of the Flak 30, which was modified to be mounted on aircraft. The higher power of the cartridge, compared to other 20mm cannons at its rank, allows for heavy hitting power, enabling it to take down most aircraft with 2-3 rounds and penetrate light ground targets.

History

This gun is a derivative of the 2 cm/65 C/30 which is already in game as a naval AA gun. Usage of this weapon was strictly experimental during Spanish civil war, where it proved useful against enemy armoured cars and light tanks. However, due to its problems with ammunition feeding and small magazine, its usage was cancelled.
