 Like the L8A1, L8A2 and L37A1, the L37A2 can only be equipped with one ammo belt consisting of two armour-piercing (AP) bullets, followed by one tracer (T) bullet. Neither bullet has much penetration (maximum of 13 mm), however the AP bullet performs much better than the tracer bullet.

-The '''L37A2''' is a British 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), it is an Enfield L7 GPMG with modifications to make it suitable for use as as a turret mounted machine gun on Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), in game it is found as the turret mounted machine gun for some British Rank 6 tanks. The Enfield L7 GPMG of which the [[L8A1 (7.62 mm)|L8A1]], [[L8A2 (7.62 mm)|L8A2]], [[L37A1 (7.62 mm)|L37A1]] and L37A2 are all variants, is itself a British licence-built version of the Belgian [[FN MAG 60-40 (7.62 mm)|FN MAG]] GPMG. As such the L37A2 performs identically to the [[L37A1 (7.62 mm)|L37A1]] and almost identically (having a slightly higher rate of fire) to the [[FN MAG 60-40 (7.62 mm)|FN MAG]], [[L8A1 (7.62 mm)|L8A1]] and [[L8A2 (7.62 mm)|L8A2]]. Being only a 7.62mm machine gun it is largely ineffective against all but the most weakly armoured, or open cabin, vehicles.
