@HeirofGojira91

Since I can´t see an answer to your question here:

Ratsch-Bumm refers to the sound of the gun and the fact that it´s projectile is supersonic.

'Ratsch' is the first heard sound of the projectile (like to sound of an ratchet), 'Bumm' is simply the later heard boom of the firing gun.

@Kamikater88 If I may ask - what does Ratsch-Bumm mean? I do not speak German but I guessed at first it meant Rat's something? (apologies if I offended you.) Yes the ZiS was praised for its durability, power and compact design indeed. But I also hear the Germans too had good guns - there was the PaK 40 and PaK 42 and PaK 43?

Can Anti-tank guns have provision to fire a good HE shell? I'm curious because it seems most AT guns like the ZiS 2 or 6 pounder had good AT performance if using AP tungsten shots but thier calibers were too small to have a good HE performance...

@n30r Like say the BS-3, D10T, PaK 43 AT guns eh?

@Kamikater88

It was probably the best gun until the 7,5cm PaK40 reached the battlefield. Later in the war they were much better anti tank guns available.

@vaninec search in google wwii penetration tables and click the soviet guns link (3rd link). It will answer for me.

@columnsx

well zis-2 is 57mm

and zis-3 is 76mm i think this will put it in def.category

[columnsx]

@Kamikater88 Well the PAK40 was quite good, if not better. But by far, the ZIS-2 was the best anti-tank gun for the Soviet union.

@vaninec The ZIS-3 was shit. ZIS-2 much better.
