As far as I can find, the guns fired primarily HE, nose fused, and also had HE, base fused.
Now, Navweaps fuse listing shows the nose fused ammuntion could fire time fuses, to engage aircraft.
Does anyone have any sources regarding this? I need every bit of information I can find! Please!

what gun you are referring to?

12,8 cm Flak 40 (L/61)
or
12,7 cm SK C/34 (L/45)
