Actually I believe that this model (of which very few were made, and were used only in summer 1940, I think) was used primarily if not entirely in the ground attack role, including against tanks in the Battle of France.

I if wonder in that date was available the H-Panzegranate , according to my sources that was first introduced in the Hs-129B1 in late 1942.

The "best tank killer" was perhaps the little unarmed L-4 Cub that controlled the guns of an artillery battalion, and if needed could call in all the guns of a division. They claimed a large number of tanks and other vehicles and can arguably be credited with saving our a**es at Anzio. For lack of data I won't claim that they killed more tanks than the ground attack birds such as the IL-2, but they may have. Artillery spotting Cubs turned back a lot of attacks all through the campaigns in Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany. The lowly little Cub actually weilded more high-explosive firepower than a whole squadron of bomb-laden B-25's...and more accuratey too. Read "Janey, A Little Plane in a Big War". It's an excellent book and very entertaining as well as informative. "The Cub That Roared" is also a good one. Referring to L-4's and L-5's, Patton said that his "secret weapon" was the Cub-type plane.

I think your sources are correct - there were other 30mm AP rounds used by the MK 101 in 1940.
