M74 and M51 are used by M2A4 and M3 Stuart only. M74B1 and M51B1/B2 are used by M3 Lee and Grant I only.

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns, that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

Very good penetration for a reserve tank AP shell

Fast reload

Can carry a lot of rounds

Cons:

HE shell carries too little explosive filler to be worthwhile using.

Primitive shell types. no APC, APBC or APHE

Mediocre accuracy, which made extra painful by lack of explosive filler

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
