New anti ship/sub weapon for the mosquito
First adopted by the Royal Navy, the long barrelled 50-caliber Molins gun was added to the Mosquito airframe as an anti-tank gun but Costal Command used the Tsetse in the role of sub-busting. If anyone is interested there are more pictures,

No, the Mosquito-Tsetse carried a 6-pounder (57mm) Molins antitank gun; it was semi-automatic, with a rate of fire of about one round per second, and could penetrate over 60mm of armor plate at a range of 1 km, easily punching a hole in a U-boat's pressure hull. The A-10 has a 7-barreled 30mm antitank Gatling gun that shoots about 70 depleted uranium rounds per second. These rounds can penetrate 38mm of hardened armor at a range of 1 km, and 69mm at a range of 500 yards, and so would also have punched through the U-boats pressure hull, but with many more holes.

The original post said 50 caliber and I wondered from the look of the thing if it wasn't 50mm. Fifty-seven millimeters, eh?
On the other hand, Japanese sailors had to face this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-9999G-005.jpg That's a 75mm field gun in the nose of that B-25-G

Like the Tesse, the A10s gun is no longer powerful enough to penetrate modern modern tank armour, so its now used against helicopters, one to two hits from it will bring down any known chopper. Both aircraft were given alternative roles due to advances in tank technology.
