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. Make an air or ground vehicles list on which this weapon is installed in our game.

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

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

Pros:

  • Fires a giant shell with lots of explosive filler
  • Damage and armour penetration stems entirely from the explosive force, meaning for most vehicles at its battle rating, just aim centre mass
  • Enough explosive filler that it can destroy unarmored/light armoured targets with splash damage alone

Cons:

  • Extremely slow reload rate, if you miss your initial shot in a confrontation you will most likely be destroyed before being able to reload
  • Slow muzzle velocity and a heavy projectile means a lot of range adjustment and leading will have to be made
  • In close quarters you may end up killing yourself due to splash damage
  • On heavily armoured opponents, the only way possible to destroy them is to fire the shell down underneath the tank

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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