The L-11 was designed in 1938 by IA Makhanov of the SKB-4 design bureau at the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. It is rumored that the L-11's design was based off that of the 76 mm air-defense gun M1914/15, however this is unconfirmed. Although inferior to many other tank guns that were available or being developed at the time, mainly the [[F-34 (76 mm)|F-34]], bureaucracy led to the earliest models of the T-34 and KV-1 being fitted with the L-11 instead. Tests however showed that the L-11 lacked the necessary power required to defeat foreign tanks, thus the L-11 became a stopgap solution until better guns for the two tanks could be produced. This came in the form of the F-34 for the T-34 and the [[F-32 (76 mm)|F-32]] for the KV-1, which began replacing the L-11 on production lines during 1941, finally providing the the two tanks with the necessary firepower required to defeat foreign tanks, although the F-32 was itself later replaced with a [[ZIS-5 (76 mm)|modified F-34]] due to it only having marginally better performance.

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.

Comparison with analogues

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

Usage in battles

The L-11 (76 mm) is more suitable for close to medium range combat. The penetration rate is lacking, however, the explosive mass in the BR-350A (MD-5 fuse) shell will make short work of any tank it penetrates.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Huge 150 g of explosive mass in the BR-350A (MD-5 fuse) shell, will one-shot if it penetrates the enemies' armour
  • Medium-high shell velocity

Cons:

  • Struggles to penetrate heavily armoured targets
  • APBC round only has 92 mm of penetration at point-blank range
  • Quite long reload rate for its calibre

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • 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.
