57mm Cannon

The QF (Quick Firing) 6-Pounder Hotchkiss was an early tank gun which armed most British tanks during World War I. The weapon was an adaptation of an earlier naval gun, made shorter for use on land.

In-game
The 6-Pounder appears as the 57mm Case Cannon in Battlefield 1. It is the main armament for the gunners on the Mark V Landship and the driver of the A7V Heavy Tank.

The weapon can load both high-explosive and canister shot. Canister shot is very deadly against infantry but almost useless against tanks, whilst the high-explosive shells are more useful for destroying buildings and combating other tanks. The weapon has a respectable rate of fire (similar to the FK 96) but only has 8 shots in reserve. When these are exhausted, more must be loaded into the magazine to continue firing.
