Comments by "Katy" (@KatyushaLauncher) on "World War 2 Anti-Aircraft Guns - Enforcing the No-Fly Zone" video.
The Oerlikon generally had a caliber of 20mm and in Drach's categories that classifies as a Light Anti-aircraft gun

Haven't finished the video yet but I'm waiting for the Type 96 25mm time to shine or their time not hitting aircraft effectively

The Type 3 Anti-aircraft Shell doesn't really count as a Anti-aircraft gun

I mean the Type 96 25mm and other Japanese anti-aircraft guns did work sometimes

@ThatZenoGuy I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but the triple mounts of the Type 96 25mm were neither remote controlled nor advanced at their time. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNJAP_25mm-60_mg.php

@ThatZenoGuy How much more detail do you want? Navweaps takes it data from actual books, the sources for the Type 96 25mm came from the books of "Naval Weapons of World War Two" by John Campbell "Battleships: Axis and Neutral Battleships in World War II" by W.H. Garzke, Jr. and R.O. Dulin, Jr. "Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War" by Eric Lacroix and Linton Wells II "Anatomy of the Ship: The Heavy Cruiser Takao" and "Anatomy of the Ship: The Battleship Yamato" both by Janusz Skulksi "Cruisers of World War Two" by M.J. Whitley "Rapid Fire" by Anthony G. Williams US Naval Technical Mission to Japan report O-47(N)-2: Japanese Naval Guns and Mounts-Article 2, AA Machine Guns and Mounts Also most of Yamato's 25mm triple mounts were manually controlled and was not supplied by any fire control directories nor radar

@ThatZenoGuy In Navweaps it's listed that Most Triple 25mm mounts were manual and only Some of those mounts were controlled by the Ward-Leonard RPC. Yamato had 40 of those triple mounts and if I do my math correctly then that means Yamato must have a total of 20 directories to power all of those 40 mounts. Here's the model of Yamato in the Yamato museum https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Yamato_model_AA_guns.jpg I don't see any directors on those triple mounts, I only saw the range finder for the 5 inch Heavy anti-aircraft guns

@許進曾 That's basically the same thing, you just said it differently
