History
The Breda 37 mm/54 was a light anti-air gun developed in the early 1930s by the Italian company Breda. It was adopted as the standard light anti-air gun of the Italian army and navy, replacing the British pom-poms. The 37 mm/54 was a gas-operated autocannon that featured a selectable fire rate of 60, 90, or 120 rounds per minute, and was fed by a 6-round sequentially-loaded magazine, which allowed for a high sustained rate of fire. Both single- and dual-mount variants of the gun were built. In 1938, a version of the mount was developed which aimed to reduce the total weight of the system by discarding the roll stabilization system and the water-cooling, and instead using air-cooling. This reduced the total weight of the system from 5000 kg to 4300 kg. However, the gun suffered from excessive vibrations that reduced long-range accuracy, which were not resolved until the introduction of the Mod. 1939 equilibriator.
The standard ammunition used on the Breda 37/54 was contact high-explosive 37 x 232SR with a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s. The gun was capable of engaging targets up to 5000m altitude, or against naval targets at a maximum effective range of 4 kilometers.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
