He sure is.

So, I think that the Typhoons 20mm would have been able to destroy any German tank up to the Pz.Kpfw IV. After that rockets, or lucky hits would have been needed. There would still be the possibility of destruction up to the Pz.kpfw V Ausf A.

He certainly doesn't, and he's very forceful to keep it on topic. He knows a lot on the subject though, just a bit more than C.C. No offence intended.

I was just wondering, what's the ammo count of the Hurricane IIDs 40mm?

A quick internet check suggests that the Vickers S guns on the Hurrican were fed by a 15 round drum. I also just learned that the Hurricane was the first Allied aircaft to use rockets.

I knew the Hurricane IV had rocket racks. That's interesting though. That's a large ammo count for guns of that size.

It does make for a nice size load. The Ju-87G carried 12 rounds to each 37mm gun, the Il-2 had 32 rpg (I believe), and the P-63 King Cobra carried a very impressive 58 rounds for its 37mm cannon.
