Fast and easy to produce, the ZSU-37 is the mainstay of Soviet anti-aircraft weapons, protecting Red Army units from bombers and fighters alike.[1]
Background[]
Talk about a second-hand design: the ZSU-37 was built using the SU-76 chassis, which in turn was built using a lengthened T-70 chassis. Developed late in the war, when German air superiority had flagged.
Gameplay[]
- Pros: Like many Soviet units, it’s cheaper than its Allied and German cousins, and it performs better than the Bofors.
- Cons: Thin armor makes it more vulnerable to enemy fire.
- Bottom Line: An inexpensive, quick way to provide stopgap AA defense at a base, and a crucial part of any armored battalion.
