Hello there.
I’m sure you all know ZSU-57-2 by now.
With the latest update released,it felt like it was buffed.Not it’s turret rotation,nor armor,nor speed,but it’s damage against GROUND enemies.Not even air(even though it’s an SPAA)
So, it’s penetration was seemingly increased against ground,with air it remained the same.
So was it really buffed or is it just a hoax?

No change at all.

It was used as an anti vehicle weapon in RL also.
is it normal tha you can kill heavy armored tanks from the front using this thing? If a tank isn’t protected from autocannons what’s even the point of spawning a tank? Wow, but I guess everyone is cool with it. This game has become a complete a joke, but it’s ““realistic”” lmao, realistic just like world of tanks probably. Trolling tanks simulator, here you troll with planes or aa, only noobs spawn with a tank in this tank game.
Now for me, whilst this thing is a power house.! Its completely rediculous 1 shot behaviour it receives.!!
No matter where you’re shot in this thing - somehow EVERYTIME it takes out both the cannons.!
EVERYTIME! No armour best armour they say and yet.!! EVERY single time… single shot takes out both guns!!! SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG THERE!
I often take out only 1 gun, so I think you’re just having bad luck or having a negativity bias regarding how many times you’re able to fire the 1 gun. Either way the vehicle would be overpowered (more than it arguably already is) if it could consistently survive turret penetrations and continue to fire back with fully automatic 57mm guns.

BIAS or not,., what I can tell you in 90% of the time minimum both barrels are shot out. ! From experience rather than conspiracy.
That is normal anyway? They are right next to each other.
and yet, plenty of other tanks don’t have the same issue… ??

is not a SPAA, was categorized by the soviets “ground assault vehicle”, during the Checkpoint Charlie tensions those zsu 57 2 were pointing their guns at american tanks. Wikipedia means jack shit.
Right. And that’s why it can elevate it guns 85°. lol
Yes it has 85 degrees. But, it’s not very good at that aspect. Most people seem to use it as an spg.
Then there are light tanks (XM800T) that have better elevation (65 degrees) than dedicated spaa like the AMX-10P (50 degrees) or the ZSL92 (52 degrees)
Original “classifications” don’t always apply in WT. Just look at the m18 GMC. Originally created as a TD, but used (and now classified) as a light tank in WT.
i’m with this guy, tbh.
ZSU-57-2 has slow 2x57mm auto-cannons, the only time i got an aircraft kill in the Sparka was against a stalling F-84G, so it pretty much SUCKS for the role the soviets gave it.
