One of Japan's relatively successful anti-air weapons, being equipped on carrier [[Taihou]], light cruiser Oyodo, and Akizuki-class destroyers (the illustration shows the turret-mounted variant seen on Akizuki-class; Oyodo and Taihou were equipped with [[10cm Twin High-angle Carriage Mount|carriage-mounted ones]]). Both muzzle velocity and operating speed were increased significantly compared to [[12.7cm_Twin_Gun_Mount|traditional destroyer guns]], making it more effective toward enemy aircraft. In reality, its anti-surface ability was not as high due to accuracy and ammunition mass but in-game it has the same firepower stat as the twin 12.7cm. Although the gun proved effective, the Japanese Navy's anti-air ability still lagged behind as the anti-air fire control device was outdated.

: It is easily accessible in-game as many destroyers carry it as stock equipment; Chief Developer Mr. Tanaka once regretted that this weapon "was deployed rather too early, even before the ''Akizuki''-class appeared in-game" in an interview.
