-The 20 mm Mk 11 mod 5 cannon can fire up too 4,000 rounds per minute, with a muzzle velocity of 1012 m/s. Its one-second burst mass is 7.33 kg. The AP shells can penetrate up to 33 mm of armour. The HE shell carries 14 g of explosive, a few hits should be able to destroy a wing or heavily damage any other part of the plane.

-The 20 mm Mk 11 mod 5 is a great weapon for multi-tasking in air battles. You can use it either against ground targets (artillery or AA positions) or against aircraft. However, due to it’s poor armor penetration, it should not be used in mixed battles as a CAS weapon.
