Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable 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:
- Access to high-velocity APDS rounds, capable of penetrating the upper frontal plate of a Panther even at range
- Quick sustained rate of fire - capable of firing a shot every 5.9 seconds (Concept 3)
- Generous selection of shells - 3 AP shells, 1 HE shell and 1 APDS shell* (*Comet I and Comet I "Iron Duke IV"only)
Cons:
- Lower muzzle velocity and therefore less penetration on the solid shot shells than other tanks armed with the 17-Pounder
- No smoke shells to cover sniper spots or blind enemy tanks
- Poor uncapped stock shell - bounces quite often, has low muzzle velocity and poor penetration figures
- High-explosive shells are not useful against any of the enemies the Comet might face, except for Hellcats
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
