The Mk.I had the same 2-pounder gun as the Mk.II. It did have an auxiliary MG turret, which was usually not present on the Mk.II.
It was available May 1941, and took part in June 1941's Operation Battleaxe.
BTW I noticed from your stated penetration for the 2-pounder that you're using FHA penetration values rather than RHA. Was this choice random, or did you have any particular reasons? |

Availability of stats. I'm not an AFV expert, which is why I'm not making these tank cards until someone steps up and refines them with his knowledge and reference books.
