Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

  • Default: AP-T · HEFI-T*
  • Air Targets: HEFI-T*
  • Armored targets: AP-T

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

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

Pros:

  • If it hits, almost always ends in one-shot destruction or a critical hit
  • Excellent gun for shooting in small bursts
  • Useful for air and ground targets
  • AP shells can penetrate many tank roofs like: Panther(A,D,G,F) ,Tiger I,Panzer IV ,Sherman,Churchill,etc

Cons:

  • Aircraft which utilize it have low ammunition count
  • Aircraft must be in very close to the target to increase accuracy
  • Accuracy decreases drastically with continuous shooting
  • Overheats quickly
  • Gun features only three ammunition belts to choose from
  • No stealth belt available

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

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

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the weapon;
  • other literature.
