Talk:Bofors 40mm Quadruple Autocannon Mount/@comment-27458804-20160430031219/@comment-36.70.82.87-20160513101718

I think there would be single mount versions which can be upgraded to twin mounts and concentrated deployment. Like the single and twin mount Bofors.

Oerlikons are about equal in effectiveness to the Japanese 25mm. Early in the war they are highly effective against the slower moving torpedo bombers and even some fighters that got close. However, late in the war they proved next to useless at stopping Kamikaze just because one does not simply shoot down a Kamikaze, you need to literally blow them out of the sky to stop them.
