Comparison with analogues

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

Usage in battles

The L-11 (76 mm) is more suitable for close to medium range combat. The penetration rate is lacking, however, the explosive mass in the BR-350A (MD-5 fuse) shell will make short work of any tank it penetrates.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Huge 150 g of explosive mass in the BR-350A (MD-5 fuse) shell, will one-shot if it penetrates the enemies' armour
  • Medium-high shell velocity

Cons:

  • Struggles to penetrate heavily armoured targets
  • APBC round only has 92 mm of penetration at point-blank range
  • Quite long reload rate compared to other nation with similar caliber

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
