* {{Specs-Link|il_m109}}
* {{Specs-Link|germ_m109g}}
* {{Specs-Link|it_m109g}}

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

== 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: 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. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

 == Description ==
-The '''M126''' is a 155mm American-made howitzer used as a main armament of the [[M109 (Israel)|M109]]. Rheinmetall later modified the gun to feature a breechblock, resulting in the [[M126E1 (155 mm)|M126E1]] used on the [[M109G]] variants.

The proximity fuze may also be used to flush open topped and lightly armored targets out of cover by detonating the HE shell above them.

 === Comparison with analogues ===
 ''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''
 == Usage in battles ==
-The 155mm cannon combined with a powerful HE shell means that a well placed shot will send the oppontent back into the hangar with a single blow. Although not easy to aim because of the lower muzzle velocity compared to a regular tank, shooting at longer ranges allows for over the horizon shots, lobbing shells over hills and obstacles. It's recommended to avoid close combat and roll back into cover after firing because the longer reload time means that your opponents will usually reload sooner than you do.
