Anti-Aircraft

Army: Soviet
Period: Late War

Among the weapons the Red Army lacked the most during the war were armoured anti-aircraft vehicles to protect their tanks from the Luftwaffe.

However, the Lend-lease program supplied them with the solution in the form of the M17 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage (MGMC). This design successfully combined the half-track with the .50cal Browning M2 Heavy Barrel machine-gun. This combination existed in two types, one with a twin-gun Maxson M33 turret and, better known, with a quad-gun Maxson M45 turret
The ZSU M17 MGMC can support all the Tankovy Batalons, Motostrelkovy Batalon and Rota Razvedki in Hammer and Sickle as well as the Tankovy Batalon and Motostrekovy Batalon in Fortress Europe. They are purchased with the Battalion HQ.

The ZSU M17 MGMC (quad .50 cal) half-track is lightly armoured with Front 1, Side 0 and Top 0. The M45 quad .50 cal MG has a range of 16”/40cm, ROF 6, Anti-tank 4 and Firepower 5+.

The 85mm obr 1939 anti-aircraft gun (KS-12) was developed by M. N. Loginov at Artillery Plant No. 8 at Kaliningrad (later relocated to Sverdlovsk) as a replacement for the 76mm anti-aircraft gun.
85mm obr 1939 gun (x2, Late) (SU543)
It consisted of a 85mm gun with a large multi-baffle muzzle brake mounted on a four-wheeled trailer. Very early models of the gun were fitted with a large gun shield to protect the crew, but this was removed from the design on later production guns. When deployed for firing the trail would form into a cruciform shape supported by adjustable legs. Production began in 1939 at the No. 8 artillery factory.
