War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircrafts and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
Today we start our journey through the variety of early Soviet tank destroyers with a vehicle some of you may know, the ZIS-30. Mounting the powerful 57mm ZIS-2 this small TD was built using the T-20 artillery tractor with relatively few modifications. Stay tuned for future episodes where we continue looking at these interesting and important vehicles which helped halt the German advance into the Soviet Union.

The story of the gun itself is fascinating during barb there were more of it mounted on the ZiS30 than towed in standard divisional AT companies. Some dingus cavalry clique marshal decides that the gun is a needless overkill, and so he shut down production in 1941 after only a couple hundred guns made. A couple of years later a "tiger" panic has also sat in, and urgent need for high velocity high penetration guns was needed, which brought the ZiS2 back to production. However, the rather small 57mm caliber meant that the shell didn't hit quite as hard as desired. Luckily the 85mm gun was soon coming online on Su-85 and KV-85

The marshal was right though, in 1941 there was no need for it, and the 76mm was far more effective against infantry or fortifications.

@@quan-uo5ws here's the catch. The ZiS3 76mm gun was also blocked from entering production. In fact, Grabin, the head of that artillery factory, had to start the production in secret and only in December of 41 convinced Stalin to give the gun a chance. Those delays meant that for almost all of Barbarossa nd the spring 42 battles, the red army was handicapped against increasing numbers of up-armored panzer 3s and 4s and later StuGs since they had to rely on questionable AT rifles and weak 45mm AT guns.

Good idea to cover this. According to D. Stahel, only 13 % OF GERMAN TANKS at the start of Barbarossa were PZR 4s, 29% were Pzr 1 and 2s... Panzer IIIIs were 28% .. So it looks like IIIs were the workhorse.. And one can see how dangerous a 76mm AT gun could be to this attacking force. Germany started with too few Panzer IVs and never could make up for this deficit. I think historians are just now realizing how well the Soviet soldier fought back in the beginning.. The German Generals really fogged our understanding of Barbarossa because we believed all their versions of what happened.

@@justasimplegamer129 What is said is that a pair of outriggers might help reduce the wobble of the cannon if it is on a heavy chassis. As you can see, the LVT (A)(4) (ZiS-2) with the same cannon still wobbles when firing, moving, and braking, even though the LVT chassis is three times heavier than the Zis-30 tractor. So maybe the developer considered that is an unnecessary feature to bring into the game.

Years ago, I worked in a gun shop, in the middle of nowhere, in NH, which is saying a lot. The manager described the shop as Miller Country: nothing fancy. I did get to learn at the feet of some real neat firearms gurus. The shop didn't deal in antiques; we took them on consignment. I learned that what a lot of collectors wanted were some rarities that were rare specifically because nobody wanted them when they were new. Everybody and his brother bought a Winchester 1894 lever gun, in 30/30, but what about an 1894 in some weird, oddball cartridge, that failed to sell, and they only made 100000 of them? That's what a lot of collectors were searching for. Now, after that lengthy intro, this aspect of my antique firearms experience is why I really enjoy your videos, putting the spotlight on such interesting vehicles, that were nearly lost to history. Thank you and keep up the good work. It's July 4th, Happy Birthday.

Honestly, when you get invaded, I'd imagine you'd scramble up anything to try and slow the advance. Even 100 anti-tank guns in the early months would be much more favorable than having nothing to slow the advance. Plus, it gives a great learning experience for what a proper design should look like, such as engine, crew locations, and armor, when using a small platform. Any experience and armor, is better than none.

A small vehicle can go places many others can not. Combined with the excellent high velocity gun & well designed ergonomics(would be easily able to utilize two loaders & a dismounted spotter) this is a good system.

Appearance wise the ZIS-30 is an oddly endearing combination of "cute" and "serious weapon system". I would not want to crew one for an extended period though.

I believe it was a good idea, the only thing i'd change was to make it longer to it doenst need the supporters for the gun recoil and maybe fit a better engine. Very good in WT too

Mostly because Soviet armour doctrine considered tanks and self-propelled guns not as a tool for destroying enemy tanks, but as tool for destroying enemy trenches, earth, wooden and concrete defence positions, and etc. Fight against enemy tanks was a secondary priority. Thats why soviet tanks had tendency to mount guns with high caliber, where piercing power was usually lower, than in German guns, but it was much more power in HE shells. And some huge calibers like 122mm (Is-2) or 152mm (ISU-152) was able just knock out a crew of the most armoured beast like kingtiger without broken armour itself. 57mm Zis-2 had a very weak HE shell, comparing with 76-mm ZiS-3, which was weaker as AT-gun, but was able to work as cheap and effective field gun.
