23mm Type 80

Notes: This appears to be a reverse-engineered version of the Russian ZU-23-2. The differences between it and the Russian weapon are few and mostly to suit local manufacturing methods and materials. The sight is 3.5x instead of the 2.5x of the ZU-23-2.

25mm Type 85

Notes: This is basically a ZU-23-2 with the 23mm autocannons replaced with 25mm autocannons of local manufacture. The Type 85 is externally very similar to the Type 80 23mm AAA gun and can be easily mistaken for it at first glance. The Chinese are not as yet using this new weapon; it appears to have been built expressly for export.

37mm Type 55/65/74/74SD/P793

Notes: The genesis of these designs is the Russian M-1939 37mm antiaircraft gun. The Type 55 is, in fact, little more than a Chinese copy of the single-barreled M-1939, while the Type 65 is a copy of the twin 37mm version of the M-1939. Type 74 has the ability to be hooked into an existing antiaircraft system and placed under its radar control, has a slightly higher rate of fire (no effect in game terms), and a telescopic sight. The Type 74SD replaces hydraulic manual controls with electrical servos. The P793 can be equipped with standard or long barrels; the rate of fire is further increased; the unit has its own 5.22 kW generator; the telescopic sight’s magnification is increased to 5x; and an image intensifier is supplied.

57mm Type 59

Notes: This weapon is a close copy of the Russian S-60 and differs from that weapon in only minor respects. Most of these differences are concessions to local manufacturing methods. However, the ammunition used by the Type 59 normally uses steel cases instead of the copper cases used by the Russians. The Type 59 is normally radar-directed by rotating bar-type radar known as the GW-03.
