Shells from the Type 11 are visible mid-flight

Description

Medium-calibre infantry gun adopted for naval use, one of the first slow-firing Japanese weapons player will use while going through the research tree. It's effectiveness is average at best, however it's explosive power is capable of piercing through nearly anything it might encounter.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Available ammunition

The gun comes with only one type of shell, high-explosive fragmentation. It's muzzle velocity is 451m/s, projectile mass 0.65 kg, filled with 50 g of Shimose (equivalent 55 g TNT). Fuze will trigger at 0.1 mm armor.

Penetration statistics
Ammunition Type of warhead Penetration in mm @ 0° Angle of Attack
10m 100m 500m 1000m 1500m 2000m
37 mm HE HE 3 3 3 3 3 3

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:

  • Effective against small, cramped vessels
  • Very high maximum range for its battle rating
  • High firing angle makes it possible to shoot while from behind a complete cover

Cons:

  • Low muzzle velocity makes it difficult to lead targets
  • Comparatively low damage against higher tier targets

History

Type 11 37mm (37mm狙撃砲, 37mm sniper) was designed as an infantry gun with an objective of destroying enemy machine gun emplacements. Serial production begun in 1918 and the gun seen a number of improvements and evolutions over the years, including pattern 22 (十一年式平射歩兵砲, 11th year model low trajectory infantry gun) until it was finally replaced in 1934 by the Type 94 of the same calibre. Weapon was originally derived from the French Canon d'Infanterie de 37 modèle 1916 TRP.

Gun saw a wide use in Japanese forces, from being an infantry support gun, through use in tanks (eg. Chi-Ro) to the first Japanese armored boat (with subsequent designs using 57mm cannon instead). While the gun was up to the task during the Second Sino-Japanese War, it was severely lacking by the time by the time of pacific war and unable to penetrate 30mm+ armor on allied armored vehicles even from as close distance as 50 meters.

Weapon featured a wide range of ammunition, including various types of high-explosive rounds with different fillers, armor-piercing, anti-concrete rounds and of course training rounds.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
