Comparison with analogues

  • GAU-13/A (30 mm): An American 30 mm rotary cannon based off the GAU-8. Similar performance and rate of fire.
  • GSh-30-2K (30 mm): A Soviet 30 mm cannon with a slightly lower rate of fire.

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.

Pros:

  • Very high fire rate
  • Good muzzle velocity
  • Good damage against both ground and air targets
  • Access to APHE, killing soft and medium targets in a short burst.

Cons:

  • Limited ammo capacity

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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