Battlefield Role

Find cover from enemy tanks while keeping a clear view of the sky. Move after firing if you have given away your position.

Strengths

Keep enemy aircraft off your teammates. Learn the range and limits of your guns, radar or missiles.

When to spawn

Bring it when aircraft or helicopters are threatening your team.

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.
  • Chasing tanks while aircraft attack. Keep a covered firing position and scan the sky between bursts. A ground target is not worth giving an aircraft a free approach.

Survivability and Armor

Crew
3 persons

Your crew and equipment are vulnerable to ground fire. Check nearby roads and corners while watching the sky.

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

Default · API-T/HEFI-T/HEFI-T

Choose this belt for the target: armor-piercing rounds help against thin armor; explosive and incendiary rounds are useful against aircraft and exposed crews.

Type 100 HE-T · HEFI-T

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

Type 100 AP-T · API-T

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

Ready Rack and Carry Load

Maximum capacity
400 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.
