General info

The 32pdr OQF gun features excellent ballistics and penetration with a good reload and decent spalling. In British fashion, the gun trades post-penetration damage for high penetration capabilities. It fires high velocity full-calibre solid shot rounds and features a weighed muzzle brake that is easy for the enemy to shoot, disabling your cannon.

Available ammunition

The 32pdr cannon features 2 shells. The first round is Shot Mk.1 which is a full-bore solid-shot APCBC round with more than 250 mm of penetration. The Shot mk.1 features good spalling after penetrating enemy armour. The second round for the 32pdr cannon is Shell Mk.1, a full-bore high-explosive round. The shell carries 920 grams of TNT and is capable of overpressurizing thin armour and exposed crew.
