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.

Strengths

Your gun or missiles can make an open crossing dangerous for the enemy.

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
5 persons

Watch for enemies coming around your side. Open-top vehicles also need protection from aircraft, artillery and explosive shells.

Keep exposed sides and the fighting compartment behind cover. Check the incoming round and impact angle in Protection Analysis before relying on the armor.

Ammunition

C.P.(BF) · SAPCBC

Use against lightly armored targets or exposed components. Avoid a frontal exchange with heavier armor.

Ordinary, Mod.1 · HE

Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.

Ready Rack and Carry Load

Maximum capacity
10 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

Maximum forward speed
40 km/h
Maximum reverse speed
12 km/h
Power-to-weight ratio
9.1 hp/t
Engine power
200 hp
Weight
22 t

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