Contents
Description
Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
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
Low BR (of 5.7 - 6.7)
Can penetrate every enemy tank almost everywhere (exceptions: Tiger I vision port, Tiger II hull (unless angled downwards), Maus, and E100, as well as american heavy tanks turrets frontally), and reliably oneshoots the crew becouse of high amount of explosives inside of shells. Long reload is still worth it, and most likely it pays off.
High BR (of 7.0 - 7.7)
Tanks are going to get tougher as their guns are improved, and chemical energy shells are more and more common, which means that getting rid of enemies quick is really important. Enemies which are well armored are going to withstand your shells easily, so heavy tanks won't be fun to deal with. MBT's on the other hand will most likely penetrate you easily, but thats double edged sword. They can penetrate you, you can penetrate them. And they may have mobility advantage, but in terms of post-pen you are definitely a leader here.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Amazing penetration (at lower BR's) and post-penetration effects often leads to oneshooting enemy
- The later APHE shell (BR-471D) has slightly better penetration, while still retaining its wonderful post-penetration effect
- Stock shell (BR-471) has similar performance to the later BR-471B on the IS-2s
- Shell velocity is far better than other lower-rank 122 mm cannons found on the SU-122
Cons:
- Rather slow reload of around 20 seconds, mid-range sniping or providing heavy fire for your team is advised
- Has poor elevation angles on all models equipped with it.
- When attacking different targets, switching ammo types will take time
- At higher BR's it can't penetrate tanks front reliably
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
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

- reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
- references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the weapon;
- other literature.
