Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

Gun features only two types of shells:

  • 320 mm Granata Perforante - Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP) - When possible they are the preferred choice, as they have 360% more explosive filler than the armor-piercing shells, thus they should be the first choice for a vast majority of the heavy cruisers and everything smaller.
  • 320 mm APHEBC Palla - Armor-Piercing Capped Ballistic Capped (APCBC) - Dedicated shell against heavy armor with both: armour-piercing cap and ballistic cap, which effectively translates to a better penetration at a higher angles of attack and longer ranges. It's best used against battleships and battlecruisers - while the post-penetration effect is miserable, it still can surprise even much more capable enemies. It's best used to destroy enemy ammo racks, where the amount of explosive filler isn't important if the magazines are hit directly.

Comparison with analogues

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable 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

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

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
