I just hit May of 1941, and I have two choices. The 50mm Pak, or the 75mm RCL. I'm wondering, what role does the RCL play? It's far less accurate, has much less ammunition, smaller crew size, same weapon size, much less penetration, same movement speed, and costs more. The 5cm's AP round has better penetration and longer range than the 75mm HEAT round. I guess the different penetration model the HEAT round uses could be an advantage, but not one worth 30+mm of penetration at some ranges. And then the 5cm has those APCR rounds that gives it nearly 100mm more penetration at point-blank range. I guess maybe since it's 75mm it has a better effect on infantry with the few HE rounds it has, but I have the Mk IV's for that.
