Re: PAK'L 75 on Hs-129

The 75mm-cannon-equipped Hs 129 was the B-3 (the 'Wa' suffix is erroneous).
There were a total of 23 such aircraft (20 series produced B-3s and three refitted B-2s).
I am not aware of any reports detailing combat experiences with the 75 mm cannon, only test experiences.

More details in a forthcoming book, authored by yours truly,

Little bit about experiences with Hs 129B-3 is written in book by Martin Pegg: Hs 129 Panzerjäger. Classic Publications, Burgess Hill, West Sussex U.K. 1997, p. 289 and 290.
