The M10 autocannon was a minor improvement of the earlier [[M4 (37 mm)|M4]]. It had an improved fire rate of 165 rpm and used a disintegrating link belt. The disintegrating link belt made it possible to increase the amount of ammunition from 30 rounds to 58. The M10 was fitted on the Bell [[P-63 (Family)|P-63 Kincobra]] starting with the A-9 model. In-game, the first version of the Kincobra to be equipped with the M10 is the [[P-63A-10]].

This page is about the aircraft cannon M10 (37 mm). For other uses, see M10 (Disambiguation).

Description

The 37 mm M10 is a WW2 American aircraft cannon.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

The M10 is a development of the earlier M4. The most noticeable changes are an increased rate of fire (165 rpm) and a much larger ammo capacity which is made possible by a disintegrating link belt.

Available ammunition

  • Default: HEFI-T* · AP-T
  • Universal: HEFI-T* · HEFI-T* · AP-T
  • Ground targets: AP-T

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

Pros:

  • Slightly higher rate of fire than the 37 mm M4
  • HE shells do significant damage to single-engine aircraft

Cons:

  • Inaccurate in full auto, should be restrained to single shot
  • Still useless AP shell
  • HE shell doesn't do well against sturdy airframes, often requiring multiple hits
  • Slow muzzle velocity

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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