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
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- HEFI and HEF rounds can shread fighters in less than 3 seconds, in the hands of a skilled pilot
- "Air targets" ammuntion belt is stealth (no tracers) in arcade battle
Cons:
- "Default" belt contains practice shells which deal far less damage than other ammuntion belts
- "Air targets" ammuntion belt is stealth (no tracers) in realistic and simulator battles
- "Air targets" ammuntion belts are less effective against bombers, instead, utilize stealth ammuntion
- Cannons quickly overheat when repeatedly fired for long periods of time
- Initially cannons are quite inaccurate until they are upgraded
