Comparison with analogues

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

Usage in battles

The L-11 (76mm) is more suitable for close to medium range combat. The penetration rate is lacking, however, the explosive mass in the BR-340A(MD-5 fuse) shell will make short work of any tank it penetrates.

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:

• Huge 150g of explosive mass in the BR-340A(MD-5 fuse) shell, will one-shot if it penetrates the enemies' armour
• Medium-high shell velocity

Cons:

• Struggles to penetrate heavily armoured targets
• APBC round only has 92mm of penetration at point-blank range
• Quite long reload rate for its caliber
