General info
The Type 92 is the IJN's standard defensive 7.92 mm machine gun. It is found on many bombers as defensive turrets, and on certain ships as well. It is characterized as being one of the worst machine guns in the game, with a low rate of fire (600 RPM) and bad ballistics, as well as poor accuracy, it is not too good at doing its job. However, on lower tier dive bombers like the D3A1, this gun can work wonders. If shot into the engine of an aircraft, it will most likely start a fire, and it is very common for this to happen. The Incendiary power of the belts is often underestimated!
Available ammunition
Default: T/AP/Ball/AP/IAI/I - Great belt for setting fires when shot into the engine of an aircraft
Armored Targets: T/AP/AP/IAI/AP - Mediocre belt with AP shells to smash through bulletproof glass
AP-T: T/AP/T/AP - Great belt for scare tactics, use the tracers to scare off the enemy. (The more tracers they see, the more they think of Danger and Retreat!)
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:
- High incendiary potential
- Capable of scaring off unsuspecting fighters
Cons:
- Poor Ballistics
- Jams Quickly
- Inaccurate
- Slow Rate of Fire
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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;
- encyclopedia page on the weapon;
- other literature.
