Comparison with analogues

Usage in battles

Slightly lower velocity than its brethren Hispano cannons, it may throw off aim somewhat for the pilot. It has a good high explosive filler and a medium rate of fire allowing for strafing of land and water-based targets.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Large amount of explosive filler

Cons:

  • AP rounds have lower muzzle velocity than its predecessor Hispano cannons, which may throw you off in aiming
  • Medium rate of fire
  • High time to kill
  • Default belts include practice shell
  • All belts but stealth use standard tracer round which are ineffective
  • High spread

History

Developed by the British from the Hispano cannon series, it featured a higher rate of fire whilst being lighter and shorter. However, it had a lower muzzle velocity and required manual charging of ammunition in preparation to firing.
