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:

  • Insane rate of fire at 800 RPM to 950 RPM makes the Ho-5 the fastest-firing WWII cannon in the game
  • Excellent accuracy while in prolonged bursts once gun is upgraded
  • High explosive (HE) shells have Incendiary (I) element which work better than the Type 99's

Cons:

  • Not the best explosive effect compared to other nations
  • Low ammo pool and high fire rate require for trigger discipline
  • Armour-piercing (AP-T) is bad against planes and armour > 10 mm
  • Tracer belt is full of AP-T
  • Mediocre muzzle velocity

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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