== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''

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

=== Available ammunition ===
''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon 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 this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: 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.

 == Description ==
-The Kan m/41 is a tank cannon employed by the Swedish Armoured Forces, or Pansertruppena, during WW2. It has a caliber of 75mm and fires a variety of shells. It's main use is against armoured targets, such as tanks. Later, the cannons and even their respective turrets would be mounted in the ground and used as stationary anti-tank batteries.

 == General info ==
 The Kan m/41 is a 75 mm anti-tank cannon. While its penetration is fairly average for its tier, the APHE shell is quite lackluster and may struggle to penetrate even M3 Lee's from the front. Additionally, there is no stabilizer of any kind, which can prove quite frustrating in close-quarters encounters. However, it does include a very nice -15 degrees of gun depression that can be useful on maps such as Kuban.

-:*The AP, or Armour Piercing shell is the first available for use with the Kan m/41. It has 85 mm of penetration and fairly good performance at range. :Unfortunately, that's where the good end and the bad begins. Because it is only AP and does not include any caps, its angle performance is not great. :The post pen is also quite poor, as there is no explosive filling.

-*HE
+* HE, or high-explosive shell, is the second stock shell the Kan m/41 typically receives. The penetration is quite poor, only 9 mm, and thus should not be used against anything past an SPAA or open-toppd vehicle. However, with those two types of vehicles, it can cause massive damage, always knocking them out due to overpressure.

However, with those two types of vehicles, it can cause massive damage, always knocking them out due to overpressure.
-*APBC
+* APBC, or armour-piercing ballistic capped shell is, surprisingly, worse than its stock predecessor. While the differences are minimal, it consistently has 1 mm of penetration less than the AP round through different ranges, with no real benefits. Even the 10 m/s more muzzle velocity is useless.

-*APHE
+* APHE, or armour-piercing high-explosive shell is probably the most useful shell available. It can easily knock out a tank and is more than enough to penetrate the Panzer variants. This comes at a cost. It decreases the penetration down a whopping 22 mm down from the other AP rounds, meaning it can no longer pentrate the M3 Lee from the front. This is enough to make one consider taking APHE over normal AP.
