Usage in battles
In air battles, the MK 77 is great for base bombing. For example: in the A-4E Skyhawk, you can get a base with only 4 of them and you get substantial amount of SL per base. So when you equip a full napalm loadout or only 8, you can use it to farm easy SL in a game (especially when no one shoot you down and you go back to base and bomb again, amounting to around 4 bases + some AI targets).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good range of action
- Effective against open top vehicles and enemy bases
Cons:
- Ineffective against armoured vehicles
- Heavy
- High drag
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
