The Ho-3 cannons have a fairly low fire RPM of 400, however, they make up for it with decent Default and Universal belts, each with powerful HEFI rounds. They also have good accuracy and velocity, allowing them to be used effectively in a variety of situations.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Decent accuracy once gun is upgraded
- Good muzzle velocity
- Good default and universal belts
- Good explosive effect with HEFI rounds
Cons:
- Very low rate of fire at 400 RPM
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
