Description
The 12.8 cm/45 SK C/34 is a German naval cannon.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Although the 128 mm SK C/34 may not pack as much of a punch as its 150 mm rivals, it makes up for it with its rather quite impressive reload speed, being able to fire 18 rounds per minute on average with a full ready-rack, and 15 rounds per minute otherwise.
Available ammunition
The 128 mm SK C/34 can fire three types of ammunition.
The default shell is the Sprgr. Kpf.Z high explosive shell with 1.905 kg of TNT equivalent and a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s. It is most effective against small motor boats, as it has a high chance of causing hull-break.
The next shell is the Sprgr. Bd.Z, a base-fused HE shell with more penetration in most cases but with less explosive mass, only 1.4 kg of TNT equivalent and the same muzzle velocity of 830 m/s. It is most effective against armoured targets, such as other destroyers.
The last shell is the Sprgr. Zt.Z, it has 1.905 kg of TNT equivalent and has a time-fuse to detonate after an automatically set amount of time. It is most effective against airplanes and slower gun motor boats.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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