Slightly lower velocity than its brethren Hispano cannons it may throw off aim somewhat for the pilot in charge. It has a good high explosive filler and a fast rate of fire allowing for strafing of land and water-based targets.

Pros and cons

Pros

• High rate of fire
• Large explosive filler

Cons

• Lower muzzle velocity than its predecessor Hispano cannons which may throw you off in aiming

History

Developed by the British from the Hispano cannon series, it featured a higher rate of fire whilst being lighter and shorter. However, it had a lower muzzle velocity and required manual charging of ammunition in preparation to firing.
