=== Survivability and armour ===
''Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.''

== Armaments ==
=== Offensive armament ===
''Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.''

The Ki-44 otsu carries two 12.7 mm ho-103 machine guns and two 40 mm ho-301 auto-cannons.

The twin ho-103 MGs are identical in performance to most other Japanese aircraft carrying this type. the air targets belt is recommended in most situations as it carries a great balance of AP, Incendiary, and tracer rounds.The twin ho-301 auto-cannons are devastating to anything it hits, making short work of most aircraft. the drawback is that these are very low velocity rounds and will need a large lead on anything you fight.
=== Suspended armament ===
''Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

''Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they can be substituted with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''

* Powerful Armament
* Highest top speed of its tier.
* Extremely good acceleration.
* Good climb rate

*

'''Cons:'''

* Fires will not go out.
* Fragile

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: 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. This section may also include the vehicle's devblog entry (if applicable) and the ingame encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== Encyclopedia Info ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

MG C/30L (20 mm)

2019-04-21T21:04:34Z

U34040575: Fixed Bullet Points in Pros and Cons

== Description ==

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a modified experimental version of the MG C/30, which was to be mounted on aircraft. The higher power of the cartridge, compared to other 20mm cannons at its rank, allows for heavy hitting power, enabling it to take down most aircraft with 2-3 rounds and penetrate light ground targets.

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|he_112a_0}}

== General info ==

It has powerful rounds, but a rather slow rate of fire, which makes it hard to hit targets with if you're inexperienced in air battles.

=== 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 ==
''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:'''

* Devastating against most fighters you will encounter.

*

'''Cons:'''

* Slower reload rate compared to other armament at its tier.

*

== 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: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(weapon-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.''

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

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

The ShKAS is a gas operated revolver type machine gun.

=== 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).''

* '''Default''' (T/Ball/Ball/AP-I/AI)
* '''Universal''' (AP-I/AI/API-T)
* '''Tracers''' (AP-I/API-T)
* '''Stealth''' (AP-I/AP-I/AP-I/AI)

=== 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:'''

* The fastest firing rifle-caliber machine gun in WWII.
* Every belt is extremely effective at causing fires on enemy aircraft (tracers and stealth are the most effective)
* Incredibly easy to knock out gunners and pilots on enemy aircraft (or exposed crew members on ground and naval forces).
* If fired in short bursts, most aircraft can last make a belt last a entire game in RB.

*

'''Cons:'''

* Can easily jam. It is recommended to fire in bursts lasting no longer then one second. Somewhat inaccurate.

If fired in short bursts, most aircraft can last make a belt last a entire game in RB.

*

'''Cons:''' Can easily jam. It is recommended to fire in bursts lasting no longer then one second. Somewhat inaccurate.

U34040575: Added a Pro and Con

== Description ==

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a modified experimental version of the MG C/30, which was to be mounted on aircraft. The higher power of the cartridge, compared to other 20mm cannons at its rank, allows for heavy hitting power, enabling it to take down most aircraft with 2-3 rounds and penetrate light ground targets.

* {{Specs-Link|he_112a_0}}

== General info ==

It has powerful rounds, but a rather slow rate of fire, which makes it hard to hit targets with if you're inexperienced in air battles.

=== 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 ==
''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:''' Devastating against most fighters you will encounter.

*

'''Cons:''' Slower reload rate compared to other armament at its tier.
