Why doesn't Germany get an ZSU-57-2?

It wouldn’t fix any SPAA issues at that BR. The Kugelblitz is a better anti-air (note I said air) than the ZSU-57-2. It would give German players another anti-tank option, though. And if East Germany used it, I don’t even think it’s up for debate. Just add the thing.

I really don’t understand people who struggle that much with using the Wiesel as an SPAA. You just have to play it to it’s strenghts and that is it being absolutely tiny and the high ROF of the 20mm. Let the planes come close to you instead of shooting at them from 2km away.

Genuinly a great question.

Question, does this post get sent to the developers? Is this going to be an actual suggestion to them? Im the publisher, and this is my first post.

we dont need the ZSU 57-2 moved down to 6.3 thanks

No. If you want a vehicle added, you need to make a suggestion in the Suggestions section. Every suggestion needs to be reviewed and approved by the suggestion moderators before it can be posted, and then it will only be passed to the devs if it gets significant attention (or if one of the suggestion moderators just wants that vehicle in particular).

Thanks!

As much as I despise the ZSU, and never want to see another one again.

Not only did East Germany use then, it would also help in making east German line ups as an SPAA option from them so that why I think it be a fine addition down the line.

Alright! I submitted a poll to the suggestion tab, getting moderated right now

and zsu23-4

might as well give germany every tank while we’re at it

True, we got a bunch of T series including T54 T54A T55A T55AM2, arts like 2s1 2s3, and most important light tank pt76b for 5.7😂Not much for air since we got Mi24D finally.

id rather they gave us the shilka-V the GDR had

Germany is literally empty between 7.0 and 7.3.

Lets be honest, they don’t want it as an SPAA, they just want to abuse the broken APHE mechanics to farm tanks.
until it gets HE-VT like the WZ it is just a mislabeled tank destroyer.

How would it get HE-VT? Last I checked only two ZSU-57-2 had HE-VT

It could get the Chinese shell due to “technical comparability” just like the VEAK could get (and did have) the 40×365R HE-VT the Sgt York uses, I have also heard that the Egyptians have 40 or so in reserve storage with both radar and the proxy ammo, but I have been unable to find any pictures of them.
But mostly I’m just pointing out that it’s worthless as an SPAA without them.

Veak had was the keyword and no it used a Swedish HE-VT round that simply only entered when the Veaks trials were done with. It was removed because neither were used together. The Tridon iirc used that round though.

As for technically capabilities the only other ZSU-57-2 that I’ve heard may have tested the Chinese ammo was the ZSU-57-2M

Yeah, at the very least the Russian ones where never issued with VT ammo and I’m not claiming it should defiantly get it, just pointing out that those that are claiming Germany needs it for a SPAA in it’s current no VT ammo state are not actually after it’s anti-air capabilities.

They should just beg for the Finnish one then
