-The '''20-K (45 mm)''' is a decent gun for its rank. In downtiers, it is a very effective and lethal weapon, and can take out most tanks with 1-2 shots. However, in uptiers, it will be more difficult to take out tanks because of the relatively small calibre. However, this doesn't mean that you are useless. The APCR round is capable of penetrating most rank II vehicles, however the post-penetration damage is poor due to the lack of an explosive filler.
