As far as I remember Apache doesn't use bushmaster cannon (correct me if I'm wrong)... but generaly you are right. Apache cannon should fire a little bit less rapidly.

Should the cannon be effective against tanks? No. Should it trash apcs and light vehicles like no other? Absolutely.

I don't have access to the settings, but the Apache M230 chaingun cannon should be slightly more powerful than the 20mm M197 cannon on the Super Cobra. The 30mm cartridge used is not as large as the ones used in the A-10's GAU-8, Warrior's Rarden or BTR-90's 2A42 cannon. It is chambered for 30 x 113mm, sometimes called 30mm Aden; this cartridge was already in UK service from the older Harrier and Sea Harrier variants. For comparison purposes, the cartridge used by the M197 and the Vulcan (from which the M197 is derived) has dimensions of 20 x 102mm.
