Description
There are 4 named variants of the Berezin. The 'standard' UB gun which is nose-mounted and not synchronized. The UBK (or UBC depending on the translation) which is identical to the standard gun but mounted in the wings. The UBS which is synchronized to fire through a propeller and thus has a lower rate of fire. The UBT is for turret use.

General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available ammunition
The Berezin UB has a total of 6 different belts to choose from:
- Default: T · AP · AP · IAI - The default belt, while usable, contains plain AP and tracer rounds, resulting in 3 out of 4 rounds fired being subpar, though with slightly better ballistics than other belts.
- Universal: AP-I · API-T · IAI · IAI - Half the belt consists of IAI making it good for damaging the control surfaces of aircraft, as well as a mix of AP-I and API-T to target modules.
- Air targets: API-T · AP-I · AP-I · IAI - 1 IAI round allows for decent control surface damage while the 2 AP-I rounds mean high fire chance making this one of the better choices for destroying aircraft.
- Ground targets: AP-I(c) · AP-I · AP-I · API-T · IAI - The AP-I(c) is a cermet-core round increasing the round's penetration, making this belt ideal for ground targets.
- Tracers: API-T - As the belt is composed entirely of tracers, this allows pilots to learn to aim better, however, API-T rounds tend to have the worst performance of all AP and incendiary rounds.
- Stealth: AP-I · AP-I · IAI - As with all stealth belts, this belt makes for excellent surprise attacks and as this belt is the same as the Air targets belt with the API-T round removed, it is excellent for destroying aircraft.
There are also two belts unique to turret-mounted defensive guns:
- Armored targets (turret): API-T · AP · AP · AP-I(c)
- Universal (turret): API-T · AP-I

Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Always go for engine/fuel tank, you will be surprised by its ability to set fire with only two guns. This gun require trigger discipline due to limited 300 round per gun.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good at setting fire
- Flat bullet trajectory = easy aiming
- Nose mounting = easy aiming
- Good penetration, good for tank battle
Cons:
- Limited ammunition compare to HMG of other faction
- Low rate of fire, don't expect pilot snipe or sawing off wings like American and Sweden HMG
- Fire damage is great at crippling enemy target, but doesn't guarantee a downed enemy plane
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.
