+The '''75 mm KwK37''' is a German tank cannon from the early stages of WW2. The KwK37 was a mounted infantry support cannon until it was replaced by the [[KwK40 L43 (75 mm)|KwK40 L43]] later in the war as Soviet armour became much tougher to fight. This gun is quite useful, being able to penetrate almost any enemy's armour at its battle rating and features a great combo with a short reload time.

-The {{PAGENAME}} is a low-velocity HEAT launcher, which forces it to only be effective at close range but is compensated with having quick reload and the HEAT having good penetration. The Kwk 37 (75 mm) is made even more effective with the ability to hull break some notable tanks around the BR, some examples are all BTs, all LVTs, most AA (mainly trucks) and more.
