 +
The 94-KM is an improvement over the [[72-K GAZ MM]] with its dual-mounted 25 mm cannons, increasing its rate of fire and area of saturation for anti-aircraft duties.

This anti-aircraft gun is used in a similar way as the 72-K GAZ MM and is armed with not one, but two 25mm cannons that dish out twice the damage. You should get to a good vantage point using your speed, and then use your cannons to shoot down aircraft that threaten your team. You should beware of any tanks or aircraft, as even machine guns can destroy the vehicle. If faced with light tanks, you can try to run away with the high speed of the vehicle, or try to kill it using your cannons. Your 25s will offer enough penetration to go through most of a light tank's armour. For  medium tanks, shoot into the rear or sides of the vehicle rather than chancing the weak spots in the frontal armour. Heavy tanks should be avoided, unless you are serving as a distraction for your team.

Soviet mobile anti-aircraft defenses in World War II was quite lacking in comparison to other nation's. Their self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are mainly improvised truck beds mounting a light anti-aircraft gun, such as Maxim machine guns on the [[4M GAZ-AAA]] and a single 25 mm auto cannon in the [[72-K GAZ MM]]. By the end of 1943, the design bureau at Plant no.88 wanted to mount two 25 mm 72-K guns onto a truck bed. The guidance system on the new design was derived from the 37 mm 61-K gun. The gun system was mounted onto the back of a ZIS-12 truck bed, which was derived from the ZIS-5 truck. In 1944, the weapon system was accepted for testing and later approved as the '''94-KM ZIS-12'''. Plant no.88 produced the 94-KM in 1944 to 1945 before stopping at either production number 225 or 237, possible due to the introduction of the better [[ZSU-37]] anti-aircraft system.

Description

GarageImage ZiS-12 (94-KM).jpg


The ZiS-12 (94-KM) (94-KM gun mount on a ZIS-12 truck), or as the 94-KM ZIS-12, is a Rank II Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB) and 3.0 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.57 "Battle March".

The 94-KM is an improvement over the 72-K GAZ MM with its dual-mounted 25 mm cannons, increasing its rate of fire and area of saturation for anti-aircraft duties.

History

Soviet mobile anti-aircraft defenses in World War II was quite lacking in comparison to other nation's. Their self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are mainly improvised truck beds mounting a light anti-aircraft gun, such as Maxim machine guns on the 4M GAZ-AAA and a single 25 mm auto cannon in the 72-K GAZ MM. By the end of 1943, the design bureau at Plant no.88 wanted to mount two 25 mm 72-K guns onto a truck bed. The guidance system on the new design was derived from the 37 mm 61-K gun. The gun system was mounted onto the back of a ZIS-12 truck bed, which was derived from the ZIS-5 truck. In 1944, the weapon system was accepted for testing and later approved as the 94-KM ZIS-12. Plant no.88 produced the 94-KM in 1944 to 1945 before stopping at either production number 225 or 237, possible due to the introduction of the better ZSU-37 anti-aircraft system.

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
