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.

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:

  • Decent velocity (takes some time to get used to)
  • Almost always one shots or leaves critical hits
  • Quite accurate after the "New Cannon" upgrade is unlocked

Cons:

  • Hard to lead (Can get used to gun fairly fast)
  • No spray capability
  • No AP shells for mixed battles like that on the similar NS-37 on the Yak-9T
  • Inferior in fire rate and accuracy compared to NS-37

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

  • reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.

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