General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available shells

FI-T, API. Velocity of API shell is 610 m/s. Is possible to achieve penetration on roof of American MBT's (Abrams, MBT-70) although can prove to be difficult.

FI-T Shell is a stealth round however will always be matched with at least one API-Tracer shell every 4 shots. (Air Targets Belt) The velocity is unknown for certain in War Thunder although official records Suggest it to be 690 m/s. If a hit to the inner wing or central fuselage is scored it will act like a "mini flak shell" and can cause fuel leaks, oil leaks, slight engine damage (Jets), and inner wing damage.
