Description
Exclusive for Death Strike Forces, Shilka will provide insane anti-air and anti-infantry firepower.
After first salvage upgrade, it will get 2 Stinger missile tubes
After second salvage upgrade, it's quad 23mm will be replaced with twin 57mm cannons.
wouldn't 57mm cannons be much harder to get hits on aircraft with instead of 23mm?
Thats why it has two added Rocket Launchers...
And also with a Bigger Round their is a Bigger Airburst effect!
well the 57mm cannons are radar guided so it would have a better time hitting aircraft then then the old ZSU-57-2, plus 57mm shells would have prox fuse and bigger explosion. fun fact the 2S38 uses 57mm auto cannon and its has advance tracking equipment and thermal sights to take out aircraft, drones and missiles instead of radar.

If only War Thunder took notice. *sigh
Fiat's G.91 in German players hands is extra deadly. And simple Shilka with its numerous but slow bullets can't hit sh_t.
War thunder doesn't have proper radar guiding/tracking mechanics for SPAAG that have them instead you have to manually guess where the aircraft is going and try to lead the target instead of having the radar and tracking computers doing it for you even though said SPAAG have that ability.
if you guys are adding a new air defense unit for china I suggest adding KS-1 (HQ12).BR
We don't have plans to add new units for china now.
I was not expecting that much quick! Good job Haubibban and Alexei!
Hey it's nice to see that an iconic vehicle such as Shilka actually made it into the mod. Looking forward to the new Scorpion Tanks.
On the same time, searching for Middle-Eastern made SPAAG I found this:
Globalsecurity.org
Seems an interesting modernization of the ZSU-57-2, which apparently includes appropriate tracking systems and such. It could be a good reference you can keep apart just in case you ever will decide to re-model that vehicle. (Probably the turret only though, I'd suggest Tank chassis over truck given Generals' engine).
Yea I know it, but I really don't see a current need for this unit. Thank you :)
It's cool. Will it replace the old anti-aircraft gun
No, We have 2 options. Vanilla GLA and Mass destruction sub faction will have ZSU and on salvage level 2 it will be transformed to Shilka.
Option 2: Death Strike forces sub faction will start with shilka and it will have salvage upgrades: L1 Stingers, L2 2 barrel gun
Ah yes, I remember that good ol' AA vehicle, glad to know it still gets some TLC. ^^
nice old sovietique guns
Ah, the cold war classic! :D Love it!
