Breaking news. After pissing people like me off with no new Red units for a while NATO will have a couple new toys for Opfor.

ZSU-23/4 is in. Yes baby.

There go 25 of my bucks

You'll never get to use one in game for as soon as it is spotted by the US, BLAMMO... Javelin. It will piss you off more including this vehicle and not getting to use it than not including it.

Cheers!

Could it shoot down a Javelin?

Definitely not in the game.

In the real world, I agree that the Javelin will make the U.S. military much more comfortable with the ZSUs than ToW and friends ever did.

To be honest, in the real world a ZSU is less survivable than a T60, probably has a worse targeting system and a very limited ammo load. Still, given the right circumstances it could be pretty effective when hidden behind a building in ambush mode.

It has an autocannon, actually a quad autocannon that can walk into a target and for when that doesn't do radar. It will hit what it shoots at. An early tank without or with a primitive laser rangefinder and single shot will have a hard time competing.

Honestly? It has a quad cannon, but it's designed to shoot down aircraft. It has a lot less armour than a tank and isn't designed for anything other than an anti air role. In real life it would have been embedded with armour. It's a 1960s vehicle and doesn't have a dedicated ground targeting role. Sure, it's a good addition for ambushing etc but in reality what happened to all the Iraqi ones?

Against infantry I agree it's great. However, I'm not expecting it to be unopposed in any way, unless we see a lot of unrealistic scenarios.

Red on Red, bit**ez. Shilka blow up the technicals real good!

More substantively: its ammo stowage will last what, about 30 seconds?
