The vehicle's gun, also known as a cannon or a Howitzer, is the vehicle's main weapon. The gun caliber is not the only factor in it's overall performance: one must also look at the penetration and rate of fire as very important considerations when choosing a gun. Longer guns tend to have more accuracy and penetration because more of the gunpowder is burned while the shell is in the barrel. Not all guns available for a tank can be mounted on any turret. If there is a turret module preceding a gun on a tank tech tree, you will probably need to research, buy, and install it before mounting the gun. A destroyed gun module will prevent the tank from firing until it is repaired, and a damaged gun module will fire with drastically-reduced accuracy.

Gun characteristics:

Damage - The amount of hit points the shell takes from the enemy tank with a hit. Measured in HP (Hit Points), The gun damage statistics are usually written in a format such as #/#/#: referring to the shell types available for the gun, usually AP/HE/APCR ammo types.

Penetration - The penetration of the weapon refers to the amount of flat metal armor the gun can penetrate in millimeters (mm). Penetration is calculated as if firing at flat armor at a range of 100m, and is usually written in the #/#/# format. Again, this refers to the different shell types available for the gun.

Rate of Fire - The rate of fire of a gun is the amount of shells that can be fired in a particular span of time, also known as RoF. The RoF of a gun is measured in rounds per minute, and is another way to to state the reload time.

Accuracy - The accuracy of the gun is the maximum shell dispersion when the sights are fully closed/contracted. The accuracy of a gun is measured in meters, indicating the amount of dispersion when fired at a target at a distance of 100m. The shell dispersion is also effected by Gaussian distribution.

Shells - The available shell types for the guns are determined by the color of the damage and penetration attributes: AP APCR HE HEAT HE premium. For more info, see Ammo.
