== History ==


The Hotchkiss et Cie company began producing their lineage of air-cooled, gas-operated machine guns in 1894-1895 when they bought the rights to a design from an Austrian Baron. The Hotchkiss M1897 was sold on export but they would develop the gun into what was planned to be designed for the ''Armee de Terre'' (French Army). The Hotchkiss Male. 1900 was not initially adopted by the French Army who instead decided to choose the competing Puteaux Mle. 1905 which was upgraded to the Saint-Eintinne Mle. 1907 as their main machine gun. However, when World War I broke out in 1914, Manufacture d’armes d'Saint-Eintinne couldn’t keep up with the desired production, so the Armée de Terre decided to revisit the Hotchkiss and adopted it in 1914 as the Hotchkiss Mle. 1914. The design was distinct from the machine guns of the other world powers by its air-cooled design, but it was no less reliable and served as the French machine gun of choice into World War II.

Hotchkiss would continue developing the design after World War I and seeing the reliably of the action and the increasing provenance of aircraft in warfare, they proposed in the late 1920s a series in calibers ranging from 13.2 mm to 25 mm and finally 37 mm to serve in the needed role of short-range air-defense. The 13.2 mm design became the '''Hotchkiss Mle. 1929'''. The Armée de Terre did not initially adopt this Hotchkiss design either, but it was successfully exported to Japan and Italy produced the design under license as the [[Type 93 (13.2 mm)|Type 93]] and [[Breda Model 31 (13.2 mm)|Breda Model 31]] respectively. While it wasn't accepted by the army as an anti-aircraft weapon due to concerns about friendly fire, the design was strictly used as an anti-tank weapon and as a vehicle machine gun for the Calvary units. The gun got used in the intended anti-aircraft role by Marine Nationale (French Navy) on their ships for close-range air defense on their most notably their battleship ''Richelieu'' and their destroyer ''Le Terrible'' which were used by ''Forces Navales Françaises Libres'' (Free France Naval Forces) though the guns would be replaced in a 1943 refit with the [[20 mm/70 Oerlikon Mk.II (20 mm)|20 mm/70 Oerlikon]] cannon as heavy machine guns were found to be ineffective anti-aircraft weapons. The guns came in both dual and quad mount variants. Some of the old navy guns were used in self-propelled mounts by the Free French Forces.

The recoil-operated design had an effective rate of 450 rounds per minute, but the practical rate of fire was closer to 250 rounds per minute due to the fact it was fed by 30-round box magazines. When France fell in June 1940, the Germans captured a number of French military equipment including the Mle. 1929 Hotchkiss which was designated the MG 271(f).

* PaK 42 does not have the muzzle break that the KwK 42 has
* PaK 42 does not have the KwK 42;s thicker walls at the base of the breach block
* PaK 42 has a thinner breach block due to the recoil buffers being mounted on top of the breach block instead of the sides of the gun

'''Pros:'''

* Fairly high velocity
* Accurate up to long distances
* Good penetration

'''Cons:'''

* Low rate of fire
* Low explosive filler in the shells utilised

== History ==
''With the development of the new Panther tanks, a new gun (the KwK 42) also had to be designed, as the KwK 40 was seen as insufficient to deal with the new generation of Soviet tanks. Shells between these guns were near-identical allowing for easier manufacturing with the only difference being the larger driving band.''

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_KV-1S.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet heavy tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.57 "Battle March"]]. A lightened [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV-1]] made to improve its manoeuvrability, the KV-1S has less overall armour than the original design but keeps its same lethality with improved speed.

Compared to the KV-1 L-11, side and rear armour are decreased to 60 mm, lightening the vehicle and increasing its speed to maximum 43 kph. A new turret was installed, presenting a smaller profile, thicker armour, and better angling all around. The armament is also changed to the ZIS-5, the equivalent of its [[KV-1 (ZiS-5)|successor]] and the [[T-34 (1941)|T-34]]'s F-34 guns.

== Usage in the battles ==

When playing the '''KV-1S''', remember that you are still a heavy tank. Keep your front armour facing your enemies at all times, and preferably angled (but slightly less than [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV-1 L-11]]). '''KV-1S''' turret is more durable and can deflect more shots than before, so if possible expose your turret only. Gun has no special penetration value, so try to target weak spots or areas with the least armour. Flanking attacks could end in a fiery demise. Also, this tank is still a KV-1 in its heart.

The best tactics for this tank is: keep a low profile and stay behind the main assault. When your team has advanced to the enemy's base, the KV-1s is best used to round up straggling enemy tanks behind your lines. If these tanks aren't destroyed, they'll attack your team's rear.

The common enemies are armed with guns that usually can penetrate the driver's hatch. Watch out for enemy T-34 (especially mod. 1941 and 1942, sometimes mods 1943 and the 57 variants), since they can flank you easily. Also, watch out for all german [[Pz.IV F2|Pz.IV]]<nowiki/>s & [[StuG III F|StuG]]<nowiki/>s armed with long 7.5 cm gun, as it can penetrate your front armour even if you are angled.

This vehicle (due to its higher BR) can also meet many opponents that your armor has no chance of stopping, avoid direct confrontation with them. (Includes: [[T-34-85]], [[SU-85]], [[Dicker Max]] & [[Nashorn]], [[Sherman Firefly]] & [[Achilles]])

Meeting other KV-1's and [[Churchill Mk VII|Churchill]]<nowiki/>s may become a stalemate as the KV-1S gun may not penetrate against their formidable armour. This leads to the hope that the APCR ammunition works, and the firing of several rounds into the target for penetration.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Faster than its [[KV-1 (L-11)|predecessor]] and [[KV-1 (ZiS-5)|successor]], yet frontal armor is the same
* Very hard to knock out in one shot
* Adequate gun
* Bouncy turret front
* Wide tracks make for good cross-country performance
* Resilient. Can remain reasonably effective, even with a lot of damage
* Very effective overall

'''Cons:'''

* Side armour is considerably weaker (75 mm into 60 mm)
* Turret is cramped
* Very low reverse speed, poor low-speed handling
* Vulnerable to the long-barreled 75mm gun of the StuG III and Pz.IV F2,G, H and J
* First reverse gear presents a slow reverse speed of around -5 kph.
* Still carries most of the flaws of the KV-1 L-11
* Still a heavy vehicle, poor acceleration.
* Still cannot move on pace with T-34s
* Gun lacks penetration against heavier opponents: The [[KV-1 (ZiS-5)|KV-1 ZiS-5]] and both [[Churchill Mk VII|Churchill]]<nowiki/>s are very hard to get through. APCR is unreliable.

== History ==
During operation barbarossa, the [[KV-1 (Family)]] of tanks had gained weigth in armor due to the increased need for armor. Due to this the KV-1S tank was designed:

major changes included

* New planetary gear transmission improving reliability and allowing the use of regenrative steering
* New lower profile Cast steel turret with a commanders cupola; of note is the thinner armor

Theese changes did bring in to question the usefulness of the tank due to the reduced weigth necetating a reduction in the armor thickness making more akin to the [[T-34 (Family)]] <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kliment_Voroshilov_tank</ref>

}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_KV-1S.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet heavy tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.57 "Battle March"]]. A lightened [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV-1]] made to improve its manoeuvrability, the KV-1S has less overall armour than the original design but keeps its same lethality with improved speed.

Compared to the KV-1 L-11, side and rear armour are decreased to 60 mm, lightening the vehicle and increasing its speed to maximum 43 kph. A new turret was installed, presenting a smaller profile, thicker armour, and better angling all around. The armament is also changed to the ZIS-5, the equivalent of its [[KV-1 (ZiS-5)|successor]] and the [[T-34 (1941)|T-34]]'s F-34 guns.

== General info ==

== History ==
Made to counter the preceived heavy armor tanks of the germans, production stopped during invasion due to the 45mm towed gun doing the same job whilst being ligther, cheaper and easier to produce. Found new life figthing against the third generation of german heavy tanks, that the 45mm was insufficent to defeat.

== Description ==
''Built from experiences of the french front against tanks that pinged the [[KwK L/42 (50 mm)]]'' harmlessly off such as [[B1 bis]] made it clear to the german army that a new gun was in order.

Thus the longer gun that had been thoughth of not fitting the turret well was fitted on the tank with good success and fought in the eastern front

U24429856: /* History */

== Description ==

The '''Kampfwagenkanone 43''' (AKA: ''KwK 43 (88 mm)'') was the improved, longer version of the [[KwK 36 (88 mm)]]. The gun had different names depending on its purpose: Tank destroyers, for example, were equipped with the [[PaK 43 (88 mm)]]. It was produced from 1942 to 1945 and was used in the Tiger II and under the name PaK 43 in various tank destroyers. It was one of Germany's most famous guns during WWII

;APCBC round with high- explosive filler ''(Armor-piercing capped ballistic capped shell)''

*The Pzgr. 39/43 one of the two standard rounds of the KwK 43 (88 mm). This round can be used against nearly all kinds of medium or heavy tanks and is thank to its huge high- explosive filler capable of destroying most of its targets with only one shot.

*The Pzgr. 40/43 is one of the researchable shells for the KwK 43 (88 mm). Like other APCR shells, it is an explosive round made out of a dense core sitting in a soft metal shell, making it useful against heavy tanks. Since it creates only a small bit of shrapnel where it is important to aim at the enemy's modules and crew members.

*1 x Pzgr. 40/43 costs 60 SL.

;HEAT round ''(High explosive anti-tank shell)''

*The Hl.Gr 39 is one of the researchable shells for the KwK 43 (88 mm). The composition of a metal core in a high explosive surrounding makes it effective against both vehicles with light or no armour (light tanks/trucks) and armoured vehicles like medium tanks. Its HEAT characteristics (not losing power over long ranges) make it very useful for sniping over extreme distances). Due to the fact that the Pzgr. 39/43 is free and penetrates more armour, it is wise to carry only a few Hl.Gr 39s' into battle since you won't use it very often.

=== Comparison with analogues ===

[[M1 (76 mm)]]

== Usage in battles ==

This cannon is a jack-of-all-trades due to its very high accuracy and a low drop with good penetration over the different ranges it can be fired.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Medium-high velocity
* High penetration

'''Cons:'''

* Slow reload, plan your shots and retreat if necessary beforehand

== History ==

The KwK 40 was developed as the intelligence reports from the USSR showed that they were developing tanks which were too heavy for the [[PaK 38 (50 mm)]] to penetrate.

From 1942 onwards this gun was the standard mount for the [[Panzer IV]]. The KwK was mechanically different from the PaK 42 in that it had an electric firing mechanism.

== History ==

With the development of the new Panther tanks, a new gun (the KwK 42) also had to be designed, as the KwK 40 was seen as insufficient to deal with the new generation of Soviet tanks. Shells between these guns were near-identical allowing for easier manufacturing with the only difference being the larger driving band. Of note should be that the PaK 42 is also a tank gun rather than a towed gun as the name would designate it which may or may not have been manufactured.

== General info ==

Based on the 88 mm flak gun. Originally made specifically for the [[Tiger (Germany)]] tank.

=== Available shells ===
''Describe the shells that are available for the cannon 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 these type of weapons.''

== Usage in battles ==
''With a very flat trajectory the KwK 36 gives the player a high margin of error in aiming whilst the high penetration makes sure that just hitting a target will most likely disable or destroy it.''

=== Pros and cons ===
A flat trajectory heavy hitting slow firer.

'''Pros:'''

* Flat trajectory
* Relatively high penetration
* High accuracy

*

'''Cons:'''

* Slow reload

*

== History ==
''A [[FlaK 37 (88 mm)]] gun modified with a less space taking recoil system.''

Originally ordered to arm the tiger serries of tanks with an 88 mm cannon.

Later on the [[KwK 43 (88 mm)]] would be made from the inspiration.

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

=== Available ammunition ===


* Default: IT/IT/APHE/HEI
* Universal: IT/HEI/HEI/AP-I
* Air Targets: AP-I/HEI/HEI/HEI/HEI/IT
* Armored Targets: APHE/APHE/APHE/IT
* Tracers: FI-T/FI-T/FI-T/IT/IT
* Stealth: HEI/HEI/HEI/APHE/AP-I

=== Comparison with analogues ===
[[M2HB (12.7 mm)]]

[[KPVT (14.5 mm)]]

== Usage in battles ==

This weapon is very dangerous to air targets due to the ''minengeschoß'' shell, which makes the MG 151/20 arguably the best 20 mm cannon against air targets. Unless other ammunition is needed for a specific reason, always choose the ammo belt with most ''minengeschoß'' available.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* ''Minengeschoß'' shell (an improved HEI shell) provides a lot of hitting power against aircraft
* Larger ammo count than the other German 20 mm cannons
* Higher muzzle velocity than the other German 20 mm cannons
* Faster firing and less prone to jamming than the Allied Mk. II Hispano variants

'''Cons:'''

* Still lower muzzle velocity compared to most machine guns
* Ineffective against armored ground targets, even with APHE shells
* Tracer and HEI (''minengeschoß'') have slightly different trajectories which reiterate knowing your ammunition

== History ==
Converted from a 15mm firing [[MG 151/15 (15 mm)]] to a 20mm firing after combat evaluation proved a larger high explosive to be more effective than a high velocity shell.

Intrestingly enough a large shipment of 800 guns were lend leased to japan using the italian submarine ''Comandante Cappellini arming 388 japanese [[Ki-61-I hei]] figther planes.''

* Sluggish gun movement

*

== History ==
''Historicly the 128mm was in use by the navy as a medium destroyer gun and with the air defence as a static defecife weapon to protect the german skies. The gun was inspired by the russian heavy artillery gun [[D-25T (122 mm)]] (tank version) but with the intraduction of such tanks as IS and IS2 it was in the eyes of high command that a heavy anti tank gun was needed to figth against this new generation of soviet tanks rather than the original dual purpose howitser gun. as thus the pak 44 and the tank version KwK 44 were devloped. the gun could double as an artillery piece by the use of less charges giving the shells curvature. As of the end of the war total of 51 pieces were produced.''

R3 T20 FA-HS

2019-08-09T10:06:13Z

U24429856: /* Survivability and armour */ added armor mobility and armament

{{Specs-Card|code=it_oto_r3_t20_fa}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} Italian self-propelled anti-aircraft gun {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
The R3 T20 FA-HS has ligth armour able to protect it against 50 cal machineguns from front and 7mm from the sides. any autocannon or tank cannon is able to shred through this armour. it has a loadout with crew seperated appart allowing it to survive damage from non explosive shot.

=== Mobility ===
''the R3 T20 FA-HS is very mobile able to outmanuver most tanks of its tier and is reliant in this to stay alive''

== Armaments ==
=== Main armament ===
''The [[Oerlikon KAD (20 mm)]] is able to figth both aircarft as well as ligthly armoured targets from the front.''

Upgraded the gun has acces to the 20mm rounds able to penetrate up to 50mm of armour enabling the tank to shread any tanks that exposes its side to this lunchbox of unasumed destruction. Some heavier tanks are still too heavily armoured from the sides for the gun to penetrate but theese generally dont show unless you are uptiered.

== Usage in battles ==
The R3 is designated as an SPAA, and perfoms in this role extremely effectively. The auto cannon has a rapid rate of fire and high velocity, allowing the R3 to tear aircraft to shreds. With accurate fire, a short burst will obliterate most aircraft in very little time. When the skys are clear and there are no more planes to shoot down, the R3 becomes a highly flexible vehicle, being able to zip around the map at high speed performing various tasks. Early game it makes an excellent recon vehicle, being able to capture points, oversee the battlefield and destroy enemy vehicles.

With over 50mm of penetration and its exceptional speed, the R3 makes short work of British and American medium tanks from the side and will shred light tanks and other SPAA. The R3 does not have the penetration to handle heavy tanks and so tanks like the KV-1 should be avoided.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* With the best belt, it is possible to penetrate many tanks, including the sides of the Sherman and many low-rank British and Soviet tanks
* Twin-axis stabilizer
* Immensely fast, often the first vehicle on the cap
* Seemingly invincible wheels
* Front plate has armour thickness sufficient to deflect most machine gun rounds, and even certain light cannon rounds
* Immense fire rate, a 20 mm firing at 996 rounds per minute can do quite a number on low rank aircraft, often snapping wings off IL-2s
* Very little lead is required to score hits on planes
* Large ammo pool, with no need to reload
* Somehow capable of righting itself even when flipped on its roof
* By aiming backwards and down and firing while driving, the recoil can be used as a turbo to propel the light vehicle forward.
* Can bounce rounds with its sloped frontal armour.

'''Cons:'''

* Very little side and roof armour, can be very easily dispatched by anything larger than a 7.7 mm, in most cases can be destroyed by M2s mounted on both tanks and planes.
* Engine is very fragile and susceptible to machine gun fire from behind, concentrated 7.7 mm fire can actually destroy the engine
* Sub-par reverse gear compared with its forward gear
* Tips over ''very'' often, especially when firing
* As with many wheeled vehicles, awful in the sand
* Due to its size, can be very easily crushed
* Hard collisions damage modules and can often injure or incapacitate the crew
* The gun is unable to fully elevate
* A widely hated vehicle by enemy players. You will be a primary target for both aircraft and ground vehicles.
* 12.7mm machine gun fire can devastate vehicle
* Recoil will cause the suspension to sway, meaning that a continuous burst will have to be adjusted while firing.
* Only 600 rounds loaded into a single belt with no spare, meaning all 600 rounds have to be expended before a resupply is possible.

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. 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: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.''
