AA is the kind of ammo that explodes after a set distance. something a C38 Zwilling hardly had...

Yes this is possible, but replaceing ammo from AP to AA no make sence here. You must use 37mm AP ammo for XXI AA guns for more power. You will need "Silent3ditor" for this operation. You need to open in S3D two files. Both are in the location: Ubisoft/Data/Library.
Open first file:Shells.dat
Now find a line:Node - 37mm_AP_shell. In stock game Id for this shell type is:
0xbb09b24bc98196cc. You can check ID in Your file for this node.

Now when You have this node [ID for the 37mm shell] You need to open second file: GUNS_SUB.sim file. When You open this file You will see nodes describe like this: wpn_cannon. Open second node from the top of this file describe like wpn_cannon [by clicking on the "+" sign]. This should be node for the XXI AA guns. Now click fast twice on the: ammo_storage ---> AP, and write 0xbb09b24bc98196cc ID for 37 mm ammo in this place.

This should look like this:
Shell=0xbb09b24bc98196cc Now You have more powerfull guns for XXI.
I useing this by myself

This is the best way to increase AA power of the XXI guns. Also You can increase power of the 20MM shell, but then also the enemy will have this one, so this no make sence. So use S3D and do it via ID changes.

Best Regards.

Ok!

Thanks for relevant replay,but the 37 mm are they fit for light 20 mm? I can smell hard heat from the pipe.

yes, some friction is inevitable when compressing those extra 17mm into the barrel.

In the late versions XXI used 30mm guns [that was the plan]. 37mm is most close setting.
