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. Make an air or ground vehicles list on which this weapon is installed in our game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

Vehicles equipped with this weapon
Jet fighters  La-15 · La-174 · ▀MiG-15bis · MiG-17 · Yak-23 · Yak-30
Bombers  Be-6 (defensive) · Tu-4 (defensive)
Jet bombers  IL-28 · IL-28Sh · Tu-14T

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available shells

  1. FI-T
  2. API

Velocity of API shell is 610 m/s. It is possible to achieve penetration American MBT's roofs (Abrams, MBT-70) although this task can prove to be difficult.

The FI-T Shell is a stealth round, however, will always be matched with at least one API-Tracer shell every 4 shots. (Air Targets Belt) The velocity is 690 m/s. If a hit to the inner wing or central fuselage is scored it will act like a "mini flak shell" and can cause fuel leaks, oil leaks, engine damage, and inner wing damage.

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns, that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main 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 than predecessor (NS-23 found on Mig-15 standard)
  • Decent damage per shell
  • High fire rate for gun of caliber

Cons:

  • Low velocity
  • One shell usually wont Crit or Kill an enemy
  • possibly different velocity than gun usually paired with (N-37D)
  • occasional sparks

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as 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.
