Description
The 37 mm FlaK 36 is a German autocannon made for anti-aircraft purposes. It is most notable in the game as the main armament of the German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the Sd.Kfz. 6/2.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available shells
Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).
Comparison with analogues
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against the main opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High damage to aircraft
Cons:
- Low muzzle velocity
- Low penetration
History
Originally, the Flak 36 was able to fight aircraft flying at 4,200 meters effectively. The Flak 36 was mass deployed when it was deemed that the 20 mm flak guns were insufficient to fight the Soviet air support in the Eastern front and was meant to largely replace the 20 mm FlaK cannons. Later on, the Flak 42 version was made introducing such things as a gas-operated breach and a lower weight from 1,550 kg to 1,250 kg.
Media
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
