-The twin mount of the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 is also called [[3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette LM/42 (37 mm)]], which can be found on the German destroyer [[Type 1934A (1944)]]. Both the LM/42 and the twin mount of the C/36 are completely identical.
+The only other German gun of similar calibre is the [[3.7 cm SK C/30 (37 mm)]]. Although the 3.7 cm SK C/30 fires heavier and harder-hitting shells, it is a single-shot gun and has a much longer reload. The 3.7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 can fire about eight rounds per barrel in the roughly 2-second time period it takes the 3.7 cm SK C/30 to fire and reload one. This makes it generally superior in anti-aircraft work and against boats.
 Common guns roughly of the same calibre in other nations include:

-Although the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 has a clip size of only five rounds, the reload is generally so short that it can practically fire continuously. At the same time, unlike other similar guns, the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 cannot be overheated/jammed if fired for too long, which lets it sustain its virtually continuous fire as long as ammunition is available.

-The 37 mm HE clip should be the primary choice for both surface and air targets, since it contains the highest HE:AP ratio. On smaller boats armed with the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36, some 37 mm APT clips should be taken for dealing with armoured targets. On destroyers and cruisers though, if the choice is available, only the 37 mm HE clip should be taken, since armoured targets can be handled by the main guns.

-If taking multiple different ammunition choices and the 3,7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 is not the main gun, make sure that the AI gunners fire the 37 mm HE clip so that they are better suited for AA work. Load the 37 mm HE clip first. If 37 mm APT clips are manually loaded, don't forget to switch back to the 37 mm HE clip before switching control away from the armament group.
