The 20 mm akan m/47C is the Swedish designation for the British [[Hispano Mk.V (20 mm)|20 mm Hispano Mk.V]]. Sweden bought surplus weapons and a license to produce the weapon after WW2. The Swedish configuration of the weapon offers more or less the same performance as the British Hispano Mk V guns but has different belts and a slightly lower fire rate.

The 20 mm akan m/47C deals good damage but has a lower fire rate compared to a lot of other guns at the common BR of its carriers. Its carriers however carry a lot of ammo for each gun, which together with its medium-high fire rate, allows you to fire for a longer period of time without running out of ammo.

The armor of the {{PAGENAME}} is very weak, and will not protect it from any weapons, including some light machine guns at close range. From the front an inexperienced enemy may shoot the turret, which is the most heavily armored portion, but even that is easy to penetrate by all anti-tank weapons. From the side many shots will over penetrate, killing only two of the four crew members at most; from the side the crew is well spaced out. From the front the crew members are lined up, making it an easy one shot kill. The ammunition stowage is a large target from the side, but it will not always explode when hit.

Even though the armour of the {{PAGENAME}} is lacking, if played to its advantages it can become a vital part of achieving victory over the other team. This armoured car has 2 main things going for it: a very good mobility and a very effective, fast-firing autocannon that can decimate enemies at close to medium range.
 
−
 
 
−
With these advantages in mind, there are several playstyles for this vehicle:
 
−
 
 
−
* The first option is to play a harasser role. Using the excellent mobility, the {{PAGENAME}} can get to the best positions on the map early and ambush enemy vehicles. Once you have struck and taken an enemy out, use the mobility to relocate to a new position and repeat the process.
 
−
* A second option is to use this vehicle to flank the enemy tanks while your teammates face them. Using your speed and mobility, you go around to take the enemy in a pincer movement.
 
−
* As third option, you can play it so as to get to cap zones before the other teams do, and afterwards use your vehicle as a support tank along with your teammates tanks taking up a position behind them and overextending when needed.
 
−
 
 
−
;Notable opponents:
 
−
 
 
−
* [[S.35]] - Very well armoured but slow (flank if possible)
 
−
* [[B1 bis]] - Very well armoured for its BR and can be very dangerous with several cannons (avoid if possible)
 
−
* [[T-70]] / [[T-80]] - Strong frontal armour that will be hard to penetrate (but thinner side and rear armour), if you find yourself fighting one of these try to flank its position and catch it off guard.
 
−
* Most tanks of this tier can be penetrated easily by your autocannon, but be careful as some of these tanks will carry .50 cal machine guns which can penetrate your armour.
 
−
 
 
−
;Defeating the {{PAGENAME}}:
 
−
 
 
−
Being a very lightly armoured vehicle, it remains a vehicle easy to destroy: the 2 quickest ways to deal with the {{PAGENAME}} are autocannons and HEAT/HE projectiles. But any shell with explosive filler will do.
 
−
Avoid close quarters and engage from long distance to increase your armour advantage while decreasing the {{PAGENAME}}'s firepower.
 
−
You can also force your opponent to play on a terrain hindering its mobility (mud, snow, sand) to negate its main advantage. Aim for the driver or the engine to immobilize it, meaning almost certain death for an armoured car.

The Akan m/47C is a Swedish licensed variant of the British [[Hispano Mk.V (20 mm)|Hispano Mk.V]] which was itself a variant of the French [[Hispano 404 (20 mm)|Hispano 404]]. Having first received access to the Hispano Mk.V, designated [[Akan m/47B (20 mm)|Akan m/47B]], through imports of British aircraft including the de Havilland [[Vampire (Family)|Vampire]] and [[Venom FB.4|Venom]], and with their [[J29 (Family)|J29]] Tunnan suffering from delays as they attempted to iron out the issues with their new attempt to make a fighter jet, they reached an agreement with the British and licensed the Mk.V at Bofors for their new jets. The m/47C is not only different from the earlier m/47B for being a licensed design, but it also had a higher capacity at 180 rounds compared the m/47B's 150 rounds.
−
An advanced automotive design, with the similar AB 40 it gave the Italian Army a modern armoured car during the Second World War. The {{PAGENAME}} had a 4x4 layout, with four-wheel steering and fully independent suspension. The freely rotating spare wheels, positioned midway along the sides of the hull, prevented the vehicle from bellying out when crossing obstacles. It also had a rear driver position. The AB 40 had 2 coaxial machine guns in the turret and a third rear-facing machine gun. The AB 41 had the 20 mm gun in place of one of the turret machine guns, and also had an increase in engine horsepower over the other design. In total 24 AB 40 and 560 AB 41s were built. They served in the reconnaissance units of armoured, motorized and cavalry divisions, as well as in independent recon companies and platoons, with 4 vehicles per platoon. The AB 40s only were used in North Africa, but AB 41s were active on all fronts, including 30 sent to Russia.
 
−
 
 
−
The Germans seized 37 AB 41 and another 20 in production when Italy fell in 1943. They used these, along with 102 AB 43s converted back to a 20 mm main gun, and known as AB 41/43s.

Description

The 20 mm akan m/47C is the Swedish designation for the British 20 mm Hispano Mk.V. Sweden bought surplus weapons and a license to produce the weapon after WW2. The Swedish configuration of the weapon offers more or less the same performance as the British Hispano Mk V guns but has different belts and a slightly lower fire rate.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

The 20 mm akan m/47C deals good damage but has a lower fire rate compared to a lot of other guns at the common BR of its carriers. Its carriers however carry a lot of ammo for each gun, which together with its medium-high fire rate, allows you to fire for a longer period of time without running out of ammo.

History

The Akan m/47C is a Swedish licensed variant of the British Hispano Mk.V which was itself a variant of the French Hispano 404. Having first received access to the Hispano Mk.V, designated Akan m/47B, through imports of British aircraft including the de Havilland Vampire and Venom, and with their J29 Tunnan suffering from delays as they attempted to iron out the issues with their new attempt to make a fighter jet, they reached an agreement with the British and licensed the Mk.V at Bofors for their new jets. The m/47C is not only different from the earlier m/47B for being a licensed design, but it also had a higher capacity at 180 rounds compared the m/47B's 150 rounds.
