The '''Hotchkiss Modèle 1914''' machine gun, developed from earlier models reaching back to 1889, saw widespread use during World War I, primarily with the French Army. In naval service, it was adopted by the French Marine Nationale during the interwar period, where its most common use was on the twin Modèle 1926 mounts for ship's anti-air. Although it was eventually replaced by the more advanced Hotchkiss Mle 1929, the Mle 1914 returned to service during World War II to compensate for slow production of a newer guns, such as the 7.5 mm Darne which eventually replaced it.

The French 7.92 mm '''Hotchkiss pattern 1914''' was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]] as an anti-air gun for {{Specs-Link|fr_arras_class_arras}}. It has only one belt, firing {{Annotation|AP-I|Armour-piercing incendiary}} ammunition without tracers with a maximum range of 1000 meters.

The gun behaves similarly to other small-calibre heavy machine guns, lacking the stopping power to effectively deal with both aeroplanes and boats. This is made even more problematic by the use of a full belt of {{Annotation|AI|Adjustment incendiary}} bullets without tracers.

Hotchkiss pattern 1914 is a designated anti-aircraft gun, primarily used by AI gunners. These gunners do not begin firing until the target is less than 1 km away, making the gun a weapon of last resort and typically incapable of influencing an engagement. The lack of tracers also makes this gun extremely challenging to aim, requiring reliance on intuition and the presence or absence of hits on the target, rather than being able to correct fire based on visual cues.

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

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

  • reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
