| |
| | | | |
| − | The {{PAGENAME}} was a mounted infantry support cannon until it was replaced by the [[KwK_40_(75_mm)|the KwK 40 (75mm)]] later in the war as Soviet armour became much tougher to fight.

| |
| − | * The [[Howitzer_M2_(75_mm)|M2 howitzer (75 mm)]] would be the closest comparison to the '''Kwk 37 (75 mm)''', despite that it is much weaker, receiving much weaker shelles and having a shorter velocity.
| |
| − | * [[K51_L/24_(75_mm)|K51 L/24]] has the same stats
| |
| − | * KwK44 L36 (75 mm) has the same stats
| |
| − | * [[K51_L/24_(75_mm)|K51 L/24 (75 mm)]] has the same stats
| |
| − | * [[SA35_L/17_(75_mm)|SA35 L/17 (75 mm)]] AP round is much superior to the '''Kwk 37 (75 mm)'''
| |
| − | * [[APX_(75_mm)|APX (75 mm)]] AP round is the same but with extra velocity
| |
| − | * 75/18 mod.34 to be added
| |
| − | * 75/32 mod.37 to be added

| |
| − | The {{PAGENAME}} is a low-velocity heat launcher that forces its to be effective at close range but is compensated with having quick reload and the Heat
| |
| − | having good penetration, the Kwk 37 (75 mm) is made even more effective with the ability to hull break some notable tanks around the BR of the tank that has it equipped, some examples are all BTs, all LVTs, most AA (mainly trucks) and a few more.
