The Kan m/41 is a tank cannon employed by the Swedish Armoured Forces, or Pansertruppena, during WW2. It has a caliber of 75mm and fires a variety of shells. It's main use is against armoured targets, such as tanks. Later, the cannons and even their respective turrets would be mounted in the ground and used as stationary anti-tank batteries.

The Kan m/41 is a 75mm anti-tank cannon. While its penetration is fairly average for its tier, the APHE shell is quite lackluster and may struggle to penetrate even M3 Lee's from the front. Additionally, there is no stabilizer of any kind, which can prove quite frustrating in close-quarters encounters. However, it does include a very nice -15 degrees of gun depression that can be useful on maps such as Kuban.

:*The AP, or Armour Piercing shell is the first available for use with the Kan m/41.

:*The second stock shell the Kan m/41 typically receives is the HE, or High Explosive shell. The pen is quite poor, only 9mm, and thus should not be :used against anything past an SPAA or open top. However, with those two types of vehicles, it can cause massive damage, always one-shotting them due to :[https://wiki.warthunder.com/Damage_mechanics#Overpressure overpressure].

:*The APBC, or Armour Piercing Ballistic Capped shell is, surprisingly, worse than its stock predecessor. While the differences are minimal, it :consistently has 1mm of pen less than the AP round through different ranges, with no real benefits. Even the 10m/s more muzzle velocity is useless.

*APHE

:*The APHE, or Armour Piercing High Explosive shell is probably the most useful shell available. It can easily one-shot a tank and is more than enough :to penetrate the Panzer variants. This comes at a cost. It decreases the pen down a whopping 22mm down from the other AP rounds, meaning it can no longer front pen the M3 Lee. This is enough to make one consider taking APHE over normal AP.

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.

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.
