  1. The weird part about M42 Duster and similar vehicles like it's steroid sibling ZSU-57-2 is that VT fuzes were available for both 40mm and 57mm gun. At least from Bofors. So these SPAAGs could be modernized with those and radars similar the one included onto M163(and in case of Duster, there was even separate radar vehicle intended per battery, but none built) and would still be effective even today against drones or helicopters and definitely against infantry on top floors of apartment buildings😅 But nobody modernized them.

  2.  @tanksalot1180  not really. VT shell doesn't need any modifications to the gun, it's just loaded normally. Type 80 aka WZ305 doesn't have neither radar, nor optical rangefinder. Unlike soviet Object 520 prototype and finnish ZSU-57-2M prototype.
