Description
The ZUT-37 is a premium rank II Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft (SPAA) tank with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB).
General info
Survivability and armour
The ZUT-37 is basically a T-70 with a weak turret and a 37 mm auto-cannon.
Hull: (Front-45mm Iower 35mm Upper) (Side -15mm) (Rear-25mm Lower 10mm Upper)
Turret: (Front-16mm) (Side-16mm) (Rear-16mm)
Mobility
The mobility of the ZUT-37 is quite well with a top speed of 46 km/h and reverse speed of -6 km/h.
It has very good turning while on the move and fairly good turn rate when at a stop. Its acceleration is pretty good in comparison to some of the Rank II other vehicles.
Armaments
Main armament
The ZUT-37's only armament is the 37 mm auto-cannon which has an average reload time of around 6.5 seconds, however, this will depend greatly on the skill level of the tank crew..
It's extremely difficult to hit aircraft with this gun, especially since the magazine only holds five rounds and has a long reload time, but if the shells connect with an aircraft, it will do major amounts of damage if not knock it out of the sky.
It is best used at medium-long range and firing your 5 rounds slower than it can allow you so you can re-aim back on target. Otherwise, if you are in close range, less than 50 m just fire off the whole magazine and run, looking for cover while waiting for the gun to reload, remaining out in the open while reloading puts a large bulls-eye on the tank for anyone to attack.
Usage in the battles
It can be used in multiple roles, as a Tank and as an AA battery. It has enough pen for its BR to be used in Light tank roles. It has very few rounds in each magazine but if it hits it causes devastating damage to the plane.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Quick and small allowing it to ambush other vehicles
- Has a quick firing magazine
- When it hits a plane it easily rips it to shreds
- Can take a tank apart in a few seconds if used properly
- Has a rear mounted bucket
Cons:
- Fairly weak armour at its BR
- Two crew members, a well-aimed shot can take out both
- Longish reload making you vulnerable for around 6-7 seconds
- Not very good at short range attacks because it doesn't have much armour and can be outflanked with its slow turret rotation speed
- Cannot hit planes very well because of its slow turret rotation speed
- Can easily be killed if hit directly with artillery
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
Read also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
ETC.
Sources
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
