-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a modified experimental version of the MG C/30, which was to be mounted on aircraft. The higher power of the cartridge, compared to other 20mm cannons at its rank, allows for heavy hitting power, enabling it to take down most aircraft with 2-3 rounds and penetrate light ground targets.
