General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available shells
Describe the shells that are available for the cannon 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 these type of weapons.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main 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
Pros:
- HEFI and HEF rounds can shread fighters in less than 3 seconds, in the hands of a skilled pilot
- "Air targets" ammuntion belt is stealth (no tracers) in arcade battle
Cons:
- "Default" belt contains practice shells which deal far less damage than other ammuntion belts
- "Air targets" ammuntion belt is stealth (no tracers) in realistic and simulator battles
- "Air targets" ammuntion belts are less effective against bombers, instead, utilize stealth ammuntion
- Cannons quickly overheat when repeatedly fired for long periods of time
- Initially cannons are quite inaccurate until they are upgraded
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
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.
