      Can someone comment on how powerful (or not) the Soviet zis 76mm AT gun is?

      I’m under the impression it’s about as effective as the British 6 pounder or German pak 40.

      I have friends who claim it to be incredibly underpowered, and struggles against Shermans.

      Does anyone have an idea on it’s in-game stats?

      Hi Aydin: Well you are right the soviet zis 3 gun is not a good AT gun. Basically this weapon in real life was an artillery gun and soviets use it with AT purposes. Basically his low velocity gives the gun a poor AT capabilities.

      Here some stats comparatives between pak 40 and zis 3 gun:

      Penetration at 100m/500m/1000m

      Pak 40:

      PzGr 39 APCBC-HE: 116mm/105mm/93mm

      PzGr 40 APCR: 157mm/132mm/106mm

      Zis 3 76.2:

      BR 350A AP-HE: 82mm/75mm/67

      BR 350P APCR: 119mm/89mm/60mm

      Ah gotcha, thank you.

      How does the Zis compare to British or American AT guns?

      82mm penetration is still good enough to work against the standard Sherman tank though, right?

      All vehicles have their maximum and minimum armour values for front and rear in the unit descriptions. There is also maximum penetration values for each weapon as well.
