Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Comparison with analogues

The ZIS-4M's characteristics are identical to the following cannons:

The only difference is that the ZIS-4M can fire an APCR shot.

Usage in battles

The 57mm cannon has good penetration and velocity making it good for sniping

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

  • High penetration power
  • Good Rate of fire

Cons:

  • Small calibre gives it poorer post-penetration damage than 75 mm cannons

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
