There are 3 variants of the ShVAK, 'standard' ShVAK, 'early' ShVAK (which lacks API and FI bullets), and the ShVAK'''s''' which is a standard ShVAK synchronised and regulated to fire through a propeller arc without destroying the propeller.

Description
The ShVAK (Russian: ШВАК: Шпитальный-Владимиров Авиационный Крупнокалиберный, Shpitalnyi-Vladimirov Aviatsionnyi Krupnokalibernyi, Shpitalny-Vladimirov large-calibre for aircraft) is a 20 mm autocannon which could be mounted on aircraft, either in the wings, the fuselage or in turrets. There are 3 variants of the ShVAK, 'standard' ShVAK, 'early' ShVAK (which lacks API and FI bullets), and the ShVAKs which is a standard ShVAK synchronised and regulated to fire through a propeller arc without destroying the propeller. The synchronised ShVAK has a lower rate of fire compared to the other versions.
The turreted ShVAK has the same characteristics as the standard wing or fuselage mounted ShVAK cannons.

General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available ammunition
Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).
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 rate of fire at 720 RPM
- Good accuracy even during prolonged bursts
Cons:
- Poor explosive effect compared to 20 mm shells of other nations
- Struggles against large framed and heavily armoured aircraft
- Slow muzzle velocity
- Useless at defeating armour
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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;
