''"Main weapon for AA destroyers. The groundbreaking long-barrel semi-automatic loaded gun mounted on turret, populary known as Long 10cm, equipped on Akizuki-class destroyers. Its complex structure made it difficult to mass-production, but it's a silver bullet against enemy aircraft."''

One of Japan's relatively successful anti-air weapon, 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 Mount (Improved)|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 aircrafts. In real world 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the gun proved effective, Japanese Navy's anti-air ability still lagged behind as the anti-air fire control device was outdated.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 most destroyers carry it as stock equipment upon remodel; 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.
