Cons:

  • Slower rate of fire compared to other armaments at its rank

History

This gun is a derivative of the 2 cm/65 C/30 which is already in game as a naval AA gun. Usage of this weapon was strictly experimental during Spanish civil war, where it proved useful against enemy armoured cars and light tanks.
