Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

• Incredible penetration figures
• High muzzle velocity
• Fantastic post-penetration damage
• Nearly all French vehicles fitted with this gun make use of an autoloader - 4.0 seconds to reload

Cons:

• Despite the generous amount of explosive filler, HE shells rarely do any meaningful damage to any enemy vehicles
• Long reload for vehicles with a manual loader
• Ammunition runs out very quick - loading the autoloader takes a lot of time

History
