Just got my ZSU-23-4M2 Very interestring and look very annoying and the next SPAA I look foward to the ZSU-37-2 which it look like it also can be an Anti Tank just less pentraction and it has an Radar and I wonder what is the best distance to shoot aircraft?
Due to the higher velocity you can engage targets at around 3.5 km up to 4.0 km, Yenisei excels in medium range anti-air and can work as anti-tank vehicle.
The vehicle has a funny (on the bad way) “feature” which you go faster backwards rather than forward so isn’t strange to see someone playing the ZSU-37-2 Yenisei backwards.

And do you know what the Power System in the ZSU-23-4M2? It look like a APU engine from an aircraft to power the tanks when the main engine is off. If My guess is correct how do I use it when i turn off the main engines?
These don’t exactly work like that, my best realistic guess is to power the gun control systems, but you’ll still need battery power to control the weaponry regardless.
If the game had infrantry the zsu-23-4m2 would go up in BR by a lot. Shame enlisted died and you wont be able to shred people with that there if they ever added cold war stuff.
I did get to expierence shooting and being shot by the twin 23mm mounts on enplacements and vehicles in SQUAD and its about the absolute most terrifying thing to deal with, id rather be shot at with 120mm. Feel like a god behind that thing, guess thats why its nicknamed ZUES.
I played it recently and felt like past 2.5km they have too much time to react, def better than the 23mm in engagement range. Also ya its a half decent light tank thanks to the guns and mobility. Honestly think its the best all around spaa untill 10.0+ USSR has.
@Константинович7 @Sternlos @Josephs_Piano I got the ZSU-23-4v now i am looking foward to the one with 4 Missle equiped the 4m4 it very good right? It missle literally have IRCCM at such a low BR.
Yes, it’s a very potent anti-air vehicle with the 9M39 Iglas you should consider it. You can use it confidently until you get better options like the 9K35 Strela or 2S6 Tunguska.
I thought it was the worst spaa I ever played, iglas suck really bad and the platform is not good for 9.3 missiles aside.
You dont need mods for it so give it a whirl I guess, wasnt a fan of the strela or OSA either but they are at least “good” I just dont didnt find either to be that fun, osa has awful turret traverse for close threats and its a giant immobile bus, strela has no range and both have no way of defending themselves. 2s6 is amazing, and pantsir is frustrating to play with radar lock bug.
I just don’t find SPAA besides gepards or 2s6 really that engaging to play (or things in similar veins like LAV-AD etc.), youll get into matches you can’t really do anything, and I just hate that. IRIST is blatantly overpowered so its fun in that regard, pantsir would probably be the most fun/interesting spaa in the game if you werent fighting the radar every match.
I’m not a fan of pure SPAA gameplay on these small maps especially ones with glaring weaknesses like the strela, im not saying these are neccesarily bad, just that I personally feel like unless the vehicle can double as a light tank or has the upperhand against decent CAS players at the BR id rather spawn CAP or just leave the match.
For the 9.3 zsu the missiles are not hitting anyone going over 700kmph and turns even slightly, your guns aren’t hitting anyone past 1.5-2km at max. You cant even pen the sides of most mbts with the 23mm at anything but point blank, and the mobility is atrocious. So you get dunked on in ground and danced on by good CAS players.
At .3 BR higher you have the gepard which has much better mobility and radar, guns that let it be a pretty respectable light tank and engage air targets at farther distances, and a much better missile.

Alr i got the ZSU-24-4v it very cool for the missles not sure if i can get kills with it though at 12.0 because I normally will get a gun kill for those jet who tired to Headon my 4x 23mm gun. and for now I look foward to the Osa-KM look very cool as well however is it radar good? I tired to lock on something about 2km at the test drive it won’t lock on it but far range they got no issues… and also I am looking foward to the SU-27SM for CAS because i felt like the Su-17m4 is outdated. I want something faster and more maunoverable and hopefully it TV guided bomb will be very nice. and it will be replaced by the Su-30sm in the future when i got it or the SU-34…
