Notes:
- Suspension wheels are 15 mm thick, tracks are 7 mm, wheels are 2 mm thick.
- Due to the vehicle hurried construction, it is mostly a patchwork of 10mm steel plates welded onto the underlying chassis.
- The turret crew have their heads visible from the front and sides. They are fully exposed in the rear and above.

Ammunition
- Default: AP-T · HEFI-T* - These rounds work well until the others are researched and offer the same performance as both other belts to the detriment of a halfed rate of fire.
- UO-167: HEFI-T* - These are absolutely devastating in the AA role.
- BR-167: AP-T · HEFI-T* - These are best against enemy tanks at close range and do good damage to planes.
Since every bullet is a tracer, firing makes you easily detected by enemy airplanes and tanks.

Usage in battles
Despite the vehicle potent armament, it is not built for direct front-line combat. It is poorly armoured, tall, slow and unstable. If necessary, it is possible to penetrate most vehicles sides or rear but sticking to anti-aircraft duty will yield the best results. Do not stay in spawn however, most planes will attack your teammates busy fighting instead of you.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- 37 mm is deadly to anything it penetrates, planes or tanks
- The gun is able to shoot targets directly in front of the vehicle, unlike some of the previous AA trucks
- Most vehicles can be engaged at close range if needed
- Low armour means APHE won't always fuze
- Most light machine guns will struggle to penetrate
- Fairly high penetration (70 mm)
- Full turret rotation
- Driver and commander are protected in an enclosed driving compartment, which is well protected against small calibre machine gun rounds
- Four crew members allow you to continue with only two after taking damage
- Half-track mount gives better cross-country movement than previous trucks
Cons:
- Thin-skinned vehicle, HE rounds will destroy it
- Very tall for self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle
- Slow fire rate allows planes to fly between shots
- Open turret configuration, open to machine gun fire
- High recoil causes the entire chassis to wobble, making continuous fire extremely inaccurate
- Sluggish maneuverability
- Extremely vulnerable to 12.7 mm machine guns
- Slow turret traverse
- Needs to move forward in order to turn
- Armour protection is not sufficient to stop aircraft fire
- Vulnerable to artillery strikes
- Can be hull-broken
- Has a rather unusual tendency to wobble side-to-side when driving, making it harder to fire on the move
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
