 Because the gun was originally designed as an anti-emplacement howitzer, it is limited to firing HESH ammunition. This can work against tanks, but it will not always penetrate the frontal armor of its enemies. Therefore it is important to aim correctly, to have a higher chance to destroy a tank or maybe even several in one shot, which is not incredibly rare because of the massive size of this gun.

 Many might think that a gun this big will guarantee a kill. This is often correct, but you have to be cautious of the round being trapped by volumetric armor. It is important to avoid shooting spots with volumetric armor on enemy tanks. If you avoid spots like this, the gun will do wonders.

-Since guns of this size are incredibly rare, there is only one analogue, the [[38 cm Sturmmörser]]. This one has a bigger gun, but this causes it to have a longer reload. Even though both are massive, the L4A1 can have the upper hand, because it can penetrate more armor.
