== 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.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===

* {{Specs-Link|xa_38}}

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

=== 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.''

 == History ==
-Aircraft have been used as flying artillery pieces since World War I. Their primary goal in this role is that of attacking hardened ground targets such as tanks. Starting with 37mm French infantry cannons from World War I, the escalation during World War II led to aircraft artillery coming in increasingly large calibers for bunker-busting and anti-ship roles. The [[XA-38|XA-38 Grizzly]], and its gun, the M10 formerly called the T15E1 75mm cannon is an example of the American attempts at flying artillery vehicles. The contract for the Grizzly required it to be able to destroy gun emplacements, ships, tanks, and bunkers was first given to Beechcraft in 1942. The T15E1 was effectively a semi-automatic variant of the [[T13E1 (75 mm)|T13E1]] cannon mounted on the [[B-25 (Family)|B-25 Mitchell]] bombers and 20 rounds were on the aircraft. These cannons were, in turn, derived from the [[M3 (75 mm)|M3]] tank gun used on the [[M3 Lee]] and [[M4 Sherman (Family)|M4 Sherman]] medium tanks. The T15E1 was first completed and mounted on the XA-38 Grizzly and was soon adopted as the M10. While an effective design, the M10, and Grizzly it was mounted on were not adopted as they would not be ready by the time of the planned Invasion of Japan.
