    Hi Mark,

    Sorry the reports i have are from the 75mm cannon of the B-25 and the 6 rounds Nebelwerfer for aircraft.

    Regards

    may I suggest you try and find a copy of Martin Peggs Hs 129 from Classic publications. it is probably out of print but check amazon and other outlets. the 7,5cm cannon was slow firing and way too heavy making the Henschel a perfect target for Soviet AA mounted on flatbed trucks. the 3cm MK 103 was still quite sufficient in dealing with all Soviet armor types

    I was working on a project and I'm just making running notes now I found this a very interesting aircraft as it was the only one built and designed to knockout tanks.Besides A-10.
