Comparison with analogues

• Germany - KwK30 (20 mm)

Usage in battles

While the TNSh (20 mm) may seem less appealing than its German counterpart (KwK30 (20 mm)), it is still useful if used correctly. Get close to your enemies, as the penetration of this gun is very low, only 27 mm at point-blank range. After using up all your ammo, be sure to find a secure spot to take cover in, as your reload time is extremely long. It is best to have some teammates with you to provide cover while reloading. Another way to use this gun is to act as a SPAA. A few shots will send most planes back to the hangar.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Very high ammunition count - 58 shells per belt
• Can be used as an SPAA due to the high rate of fire and high ammo count per belt

Cons:

• Extremely long reload rate of 26 seconds
• Gun lacks penetration and post-penetration damage
• Inferior in almost all aspects compared to the German KwK30 20 mm

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

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