General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available shells
Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).
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
Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- Lower fire rate (compared to NR-23) can help conserve ammo
- Decent damage per burst of shells (About 4 or more shells) (3 works about 50% of the time)
- High fire rate for gun of caliber
Cons:
- Low velocity
- One or two shells usually wont Crit or Kill an enemy (Two can effect performance for a follow-up)
- Slightly different velocity than gun usually paired with (N-37D)
- occasional "sparks"
- Lower fire rate can lead to "scissoring" the shots between the enemy
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
