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:
- Higher fire rate compared to the T13E1
- Very powerful against bombers and tanks
Cons:
- Still has a poor muzzle velocity
- Useless at longer ranges
History
Aircraft have been used as flying artillery pieces since World War I. Their primary goal in this role is that of attacking hardened ground targets such as tanks. Starting with 3 7mm French infantry cannons from World War I, the escalation during World War II led to aircraft artillery coming in increasingly large calibres for bunker-busting and anti-ship roles. The XA-38 Grizzly, and its gun the M10 75 mm cannon, formerly called the T15E1, is an example of the American attempts at flying artillery vehicles. The contract for the Grizzly, requiring it to be able to destroy gun emplacements, ships, tanks, and bunkers, was first given to Beechcraft in 1942. The T15E1 was effectively a semi-automatic variant of the T13E1 cannon previously mounted on the B-25 Mitchell bombers which was, in turn, derived from the M3 tank gun used on the M3 Lee and M4 Sherman medium tanks. The T15E1 was first completed and mounted on the XA-38 Grizzly and was soon adopted as the M10. While an effective design, the M10, and Grizzly it was mounted on, were not adopted as they would not be ready by the time of the planned Invasion of Japan.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
