In-Game
Best anti-tank gun in the Soviet Union's arsenal for Multiplayer. Other cannons in the Soviet Union's arsenal which are the M37 and Zis 3 does not match the Zis 2 in terms of armor piercing capabilities. The Zis 2 is best used in the early and middle parts of a game, being a very powerful and cheap cannon easily defeating earlier medium tanks at combat ranges of 80m. However in later game the Zis 2 is primarily used as an ambush cannon, as it will be unable to pierce most hostile heavy tanks from the front, and may only be able to pierce the side and rear. The Zis 2 also fairs strongly against light tanks, having high accuracy and a reasonably fast reload time, they could easily if well placed will make short work of flanking speeding light tanks and other armored vehicles.

Against other Artillery pieces the Zis 2 with its high accuracy and good rate of fire, could easily outgun other artillery pierces used by other factions.
