Battlefield Role
Watch a crossing from cover and leave room to pull back. If your gun has limited traverse, avoid close fights that force you to turn the whole vehicle.
When to spawn
Bring it when you have a useful lane to watch from cover. Leave an isolated position if the enemy starts taking control of the map.
Common Mistakes
- Repeating the same peek. Once an enemy has your range, move to another angle before firing again. A second shot from the same opening is easier to anticipate.
- Firing without a retreat. Choose cover you can reach during the reload. Do not cross into an enemy firing lane just to finish a damaged target.
Survivability and Armor
- Crew
- 4 persons
Watch for enemies coming around your side. Open-top vehicles also need protection from aircraft, artillery and explosive shells.
Composite armor, ERA and impact angle change the result. Use Protection Analysis for the specific round and impact point you expect to face.
Ammunition
M107 · HE
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
M401 · HE
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
M401 (PF) · HE-VT
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
Ready Rack and Carry Load
- First-stage capacity
- 60 rounds
- Maximum capacity
- 75 rounds
Carry enough for the route and resupply plan. A listed first-stage capacity alone does not establish a safe spawn load or prove that another rack is empty.
Mobility

- 54 km/h
- Maximum reverse speed
- 11 km/h
- Power-to-weight ratio
- 15 hp/t
- Engine power
- 900 hp
- Weight

Top speed is not cross-country pace. Check the reverse route before taking a firing position.
