Armaments

Offensive armament

Main articles: Akan m/45 (57 mm), Akan m/41A (20 mm), Akan m/39A (13.2 mm)

The T18B (57) is armed with:

  • 1 x 57 mm Akan m/45 cannon, chin-mounted (41 rpg)
  • 2 x 20 mm Akan m/41A cannons, chin-mounted (60 rpg = 120 total)
  • 1 x 13.2 mm Akan m/39A machine gun, nose-mounted (300 rpg)

Suspended armament

Main articles: sb m/42 (50 kg), psrak m/49A, srak m/51, hprak m/49

The T18B (57) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • 8 x 50 kg sb m/42 bombs (400 kg total)
  • 8 x psrak m/49A rockets
  • 8 x srak m/51 rockets
  • 8 x hprak m/49 rockets
  • 8 x 50 kg sb m/42 bombs + 8 x psrak m/49A rockets (400 kg total)
  • 8 x 50 kg sb m/42 bombs + 8 x srak m/51 rockets (400 kg total)
  • 8 x 50 kg sb m/42 bombs + 8 x hprak m/49 rockets (400 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: Akan m/39 (13.2 mm)

The T18B (57) is defended by:

  • 1 x 13.2 mm Akan m/39 machine gun, turret (300 rpg)

Usage in battles

Belt choice is critical for this plane. These belts are recommended:

  • 20 mm cannon - Use "Air targets", as the ground targets belt won't make a difference when attacking light ground vehicles. This belt will be good for bomber hunting
  • 13 mm MG - "Air targets" is a good belt, because it contains a lot of tracer and high-explosive rounds, good for air and ground targets
  • 57 mm tankbuster - Use "Ground targets", as it has VERY high pennetration, and the gun shouldn't really be used against air targets
  • 13 mm turret - Use "Universal", it is good for knocking common enemies out of the sky, like the A6Ms, Yaks, and Bf 109s.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 57mm cannon has a maximum penetration of 75mm
  • Excellent forward armament, has 2 20mms, a powerful 13mm, and the tank busting 57mm
  • Very fast
  • Good defensive turret when using HEF-T bullets
  • Can carry up to a rockets or bombs.
  • Very good bomber hunter

Cons:

  • Only one turret
  • Poor Bomb loads (Cannot base bomb)
  • No torpedo access
  • Pilot easily Knock out

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-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 />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
