The Type 5 is currently the most powerful gun mounted on an IJA tank in War Thunder. It draws parallels to the famed German 88mm [[KwK43 (88 mm)|KwK43]], sporting similar muzzle velocity and penetration, but with significantly increased explosive filler and improved angled armour penetration. Players who are used to the KwK 43 will find themselves right at home when using the Type 5.

105mm Type 5 Cannon

Description

The Type 5 is currently the most powerful gun mounted on an IJA tank in War Thunder. It draws parallels to the famed German 88mm KwK43, sporting similar muzzle velocity and penetration, but with significantly increased explosive filler and improved angled armour penetration. Players who are used to the KwK 43 will find themselves right at home when using the Type 5.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns, that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.

Usage in battles

The Type 5 should be primarily used as a sniper due to its high velocity and excellent penetration at range, but also due to its slower reload. The Type 2 should be your go-to shell for most of your targets, but it is important to bring a few HE shells to deal with the previously mentioned light tanks.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High amount of explosive filler on its APHE shell, results in a lot of one-shots
  • Very accurate with little shell drop
  • Solid penetration
  • HE shell has 30 mm of penetration all around and a lot of explosive filler, easy to kill light tanks with
  • Arguably one of the best firing sounds in the entire game
  • Not a lot of recoil, easy to follow up shots

Cons:

  • Relatively slow reloading rate
  • Penetration can be underwhelming when facing 7.3+ vehicles
  • Cannon barrel and breech are quite fragile
  • Fuze sensitivity on APHE leads to the shell going right through some tanks

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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

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

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

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