Usage in battles
Slightly lower velocity than its brethren Hispano cannons, it may throw off aim somewhat for the pilot. It has a good high explosive filler and a medium rate of fire allowing for strafing of land and water-based targets.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Large amount of explosive filler
Cons:
- AP rounds have lower muzzle velocity than its predecessor Hispano cannons, which may throw you off in aiming
- Medium rate of fire
- High time to kill
- Default belts include practice shell
- All belts but stealth use standard tracer round which are ineffective
- High spread
History
Developed by the British from the Hispano cannon series, it featured a higher rate of fire whilst being lighter and shorter. However, it had a lower muzzle velocity and required manual charging of ammunition in preparation to firing.
The Hispano Mk V was the ultimate British license-built variant of the French Hispano 404 autocannon. The Mk V featured a shorter barrel so the cannon would be housed in the wing reducing drag and offering better protection for the cannon. One of the main fighters to use the Mk V was the Hawker Tempest Mk V, but also saw use during World War II on the Hawker Fury and Sea Fury fighters, late-war marks of the Spitfire, the prototype Martin-Baker M.B.5 fighter, and the Westland Welkin high altitude heavy fighter. In the post-war period, The Hispanio Mk.V saw service on even more aircraft including the Westland Wyvern S4 navy strike fighter, the Avro Shackleton MR.Mk.2 maritime patrol craft, Bristol Brigand B 1 ground attack craft, Avro Lincoln B Mk II, the Supermarine Spiteful and its naval counterpart, the Seafang, the de Havilland Hornet twin-engine fighter, the de Havilland Vampire and Venom fighter jets, English Electric Canberra jet bomber, Sea Hawk naval fighter jet, Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 flying boat jet, Supermarine Attacker naval jet, and the on South African Air Force variants of the Aérospatiale Alouette III helicopters.
