 The cannon is hard to aim, so you will need a few tries before landing a successful hit. Against ground vehicles, the safest strategy is to aim for roof armour in a 45° dive as the cannon has a high penetration power. An approach at low altitude to target the sides is risky and will often end in a crash. Another thing to keep in mind is that you have very little ammo so make every shot count. Using the cockpit gunsight can help land shots more precisely. Against aircraft, the gun should be reserved to deal with large slow targets like bombers.
