In the end the project was scrapped as SPAAs with integrated radars became more necessary.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. In similar fashion to the ZSU-57, the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an SPAA particularly deadly for enemy tanks. It has access to a powerful 40mm cannon with a good fire rate. It also features SAPHEI shells in some of its belts, which helps against lightly armored vehicles. Flanking is a good idea, although the speed is not the best, it's still agile enough to get to good positions to ambush other tanks. Like most SPAAs of its tier, it's very fragile, and most HE or HEAT shells would kill you in a single hit, the gun lacks access to APHE shells in all of its belts and using its only cannon against enemy aircrafts may be challenging to unexperienced players.
