General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available shells
The gun on the AMX-50 Foch and the LS 3 have a very different belt content than the aircraft with this cannon.
Aircraft
- Default: IT/AP-T
- Universal: IT/IT/AP-I(c)/AI
- Air Targets: AI/AI/IT/AP-T
- Armored Targets: AP-I(c)/AP-I(c)/AP-I(c)/AP-T
Tanks
- Default: API-T/HEFI-T/HEFI-T
Ships
- Default: API-T/HEF
- 15mm APIT belts: API-T/API-T/API-T/HEF
- 15mm HEIT belts: HEF/HEFI-T*/HEF/API-T
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:
- Good AP-I round which can penetrate roof armor of low tier tanks, and does a decent amount of damage to aircraft
- All ammunition belts do a good amount of damage against aircraft for its caliber
- Good rate of fire
- Good muzzle velocity
Cons:
- All ammunition types have a different muzzle velocity
- Often come with a small amount of ammo
- It acts more like a heavy machine-gun rather than a cannon
- Even though AP-I shell can go through an armored target, however, overall damage is limited due to low caliber
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
- references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the weapon;
- other literature.
