Description
Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Make an air or ground vehicles list on which this weapon is installed in our game.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
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
The 155 mm gun T7 is 6.74 m (22.1 ft) long cannon unique to the T30 Heavy Tank, a U.S. premium tank at 6.7 BR. It has a distinctive muzzle break which allows it to be distinguished from similar tanks using the T5E1 cannon such as the T-29 and T-34. It is slightly shorter than the T5E1.
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:
- The 155mm HE round is capable of killing most tanks in the game
- Both types of AP rounds are almost guaranteed to result in a kill if they penetrate a tank's armor
Cons:
- Shells have less explosive filler than slightly smaller German HE rounds
- Shells travels at significantly slower velocity than the T5E1 guns mounted on the T29 or T34. (roughly 700 m/s compared to over 900 m/s)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
