Description

The 57 mm ZIS-2 is a high velocity 57 mm towed anti-tank gun, not to be confused with the tank adapted version ZIS-4 (57 mm), or the simplified ZIS-4M (57 mm) mounted on the T-34 (Family) of 57 mm carrying tanks.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

High velocity; very. On most tanks you can punch a tier up without problems, and when you encounter a tank that you cannot penetrate easily, the velocity will ensure a hit on weakspots without requiring a lot of drop-off calculation.

Available ammunition

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good rate of fire because of the small calibre
  • High penetration because of the high velocity
  • Low drop to shot

Cons:

  • Low explosive filler

History

Made to counter the perceived threat of the heavily-armoured German tanks, production stopped during invasion due to the 45 mm towed gun doing the same job whilst being lighter, cheaper and easier to produce. It found new life figthing against the third generation of german heavy tanks, that the 45 mm was insufficient to defeat.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
