#57mm
The T-34-57 (1943) is a premium Soviet medium tank. It boasts a hard-hitting 57 millimetre ZIS-4M gun and enhanced turret armour, up to 106 millimetres, compared to its counterpart, the techtree T-34-57. It bears a visual resemblance to the T-34 (1942 model) with a hexagon-shaped turret. It also retains the good sloped armour and speed of the T-34 family, whilst also having a lethal and quick reloading cannon, and is a must-have for any experienced Soviet player.
The German Sturmpanzerwagen A7V Heavy Tank was Germany’s response to the first British tanks in WW1. Designing started in 1916 with the founding of the Allgemeines Kriegsdepartement Sektion 7 Verkehrswesen, which was made to start research on tanks, with the first prototype completed in late April of 1917. Shortly after, in May, the first wooden mockup was built with a rear facing cannon, which was later removed and replaced by machine guns.
The ZSU-57-2 “Sparka” is a Soviet SPAAG (Self Propelled Anti Aircraft Gun). It featured 2 57mm clip-fed autocannons and no radar or IRST. It was manned by a crew of 6 (Driver, gunner, 2 loaders, commander and sight adjuster). It entered service in 1955 and is still in service with some nations (and armed insurgencies) in its original form today, the most notable users being Egypt, Cuba and Hezbollah. Over 2,000 were built in the USSR alone, with more built in North Korea and as a modified variant, the Type 80, in China.
