Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

The gun has short reload time. Therefore it’s good in close combat. The tank is prefect at urban maps like Poland, Eastern Europe or Sweden. It (as any tank) can in theory snipe, but already at 500 meters it looses 12 mm of penetration.

Pros and cons.

Pros:

  • Short reload
  • Good penetration
  • Great in close combat

Cons:

  • Can’t snipe

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
