My take on the versatile Soviet WW2 76-mm Divisional Gun M1942 - ZiS-3. It is very much an approximation.
This one with female coupling for towing.

Info from Wikipedia.
******
The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) (Russian: 76-мм дивизионная пушка обр. 1942 г. (ЗиС-3)) was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. ZiS was a factory designation and stood for Zavod imeni Stalina ("factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which first constructed this gun.

These guns were employed in close support of infantry and tanks, and especially for direct fire. Their primary missions were destruction of personnel and neutralization of infantry weapons in the open; antipersonnel barrages; destruction of tanks, vehicles, embrasures, and dragon's teeth by direct fire; and harassing fire.

Controls.
Alt + Arrow keys or Mouse: Traverse and elevation. (Somewhat reduced compared to the real thing due to big guns and some limitations in the game).
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire Armour Piercing Projectile BR-350A. (4 AP guns stacked.)
Fire action 2/Num 2: Fire High Explosive round. (4 HE guns stacked.)
Auxiliary / PgUp-PgDn: Operate split-trail carriage and front shield.
Spacebar: Hand brake.

Camera 1: Gun sight.

Moving breech with smoke.
Reload time is about 4 seconds for both ammo types.
The gun can be towed. I recommend elevating the gun barrel a little before hooking it up as it rides very low at level elevation.
The recoil is pretty strong, so keep the hand brake on when shooting but release if towing.

Feel free to edit, but if you reupload publicly in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun blowing up tanks and stuff!

This version works well with my newly edited (alternate coupling) ZiS-6 truck:
