The closest comparison with the Type 96 calibre and penetration performance wise is the [[Oerlikon Mk.II (20 mm)]] and its derivatives. However, the Oerlikon Mk.II is notably superior with a rate of fire over 70% greater at 450 rounds/min, as well as belt size of 60 rounds, four times as great as the Type 96. It also has a explosive mass in its HE shells over twice as much as that of the Type 96. The German equivalent, [[MG C/38 (20 mm)]] in various mountings, takes this difference even further with an explosive mass over three times as large. However, unlike both of these, the Type 96 has access to a belt containing only HE rounds, the 25 mm HEIT belt.
 
−
 
 
−
Among destroyer and cruiser anti-aircraft armament, the [[Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)]] and its derivatives are vastly superior, firing a much larger projectile and having a much longer effective range, as well as being able to continuously fire without needing to reload (so long as the gun doesn't overheat).

−
On vessels with only a single installation, the low capacity of the magazine and relatively low explosive mass in the HE rounds can be a major disadvantage, as it can potentially take multiple reloads to finish off a single enemy, whereas similar weapons can destroy their target with ammunition left to spare. Despite its deficiencies single installations, on vessels with multiple installations such as the sub-chaser [[Syonan]] and the destroyer [[IJN Akizuki]], their potential effectiveness begins to show. On these vessels, the Type 96 cannons can provide virtually continuous fire with their relatively quick reload, other guns firing as one reloads. Together, they also overcome their small explosive mass through sheer volume of fire, making quick work of any PT boats. As anti-aircraft weapons though, they leave much to be desired, with an effective range of only about 2.5 km.
 
−
 
 
−
The primary belt against aircraft and enemy boats should be the 25 mm HEIT belt, since it contains purely HE rounds. That being said, several 25 mm APT belts should be carried for the occasional armored boat. On destroyers and cruisers, there is no advantage to using the 25 mm APT belt, since armored targets will possess more armor than they can penetrate.

Beginning in 1935, Japan began to search for a replacement for the 40 mm/62 "HI" Type 91 anti-aircraft cannon, a Japanese-built Vickers QF 2-pounder "pom-pom" cannons. Eventually, the search led Japanese weapons engineers to France where the 25 mm Hotchkiss gun was selected, with a small order being placed for testing in Japan. These French-made units, designated Type 94 and Type 95, would be at Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, with the production variant, Type 96, entering mass production in Japan the same year.
 
−
 
 
−
The Type 96 had a barrel diameter of 25 mm (1 inch), a barrel length of 1.5 m (60 calibre), weighed 115 kg, and fired rounds with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s. A rate of fire of 260 rounds per minute was possible, though the rate of fire was most commonly set around 220 rounds per minute, lower in elevated positions as the position interfered with spent cartridge ejection. The Type 96 was fed by a box magazine with a capacity of 15 rounds, with high explosive, high explosive incendiary, armor-piercing, and tracer rounds available. The Japanese made several modifications to the original French design, incorporating a Rheinmetall flash suppressor design, substituting forged metal components with cast metal, and using stainless steel components for use on submarines. The Type 96 was gas-operated and had an air-cooled, monobloc barrel. The barrel was replaceable, although change-outs were difficult.
 
−
 
 
−
The Type 96 could be mounted in single, double, and triple mounts, typically operated by three, seven, and nine crew members, respectively. The single, double, and triple mounts weighed 785 kg, 1,100 kg, and 1,800 kg, respectively. All mountings were manually laid (though some triple mounts on certain ships received electric drive systems), and ammunition was carried to the gun by crew and manually hand loaded. The Type 96 most commonly did not have a gun shield.
 
−
 
 
−
Entering service in 1936, the Type 96 was very widely used throughout the Imperial Japanese Navy, mounted on almost all ships during WWII. Some guns were even used in the anti-tank role, thought its use in this role is questionable. The Japanese considered the Type 96 to be an excellent anti-aircraft cannon; however, compared to its Allied contemporaries, the Type 96 was rather lackluster. The small magazine size of only 15 rounds meant frequent reloads which lowered its effective rate of fire to around 120 rounds per minute. The gun was also manually traversed and often couldn't be trained quickly enough to track enemy aircraft. In total, around 33,000 Type 96 guns were produced.

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
