The description of the light round 'requiring' a 5 degree difference in aiming sounds completely bogus to me though...

It would seem more likely as a component of the boresighting procedure than for firing the gun. Of course it may be that this represents say 1500m or 2000m for the HVAP, rather than the nominal 1300m for the AP rounds.

The idea that HVAP could be accurately fired with +5 degrees elevation is just nonsense though...

I can't add anything from the german, as this is a language I have little knowledge of.
