Battlefield Role
Choose a covered firing lane that suits the gun depression and fitted optics. Guard the flanks, limit hull exposure and keep an exit available before firing.
When to spawn
A useful first spawn on many maps. In uptiers, work with teammates for side shots rather than forcing a frontal fight.
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
Conceal the lower hull and guard the sides and rear. Turret armor, APS and ERA vary by model and incoming projectile; inspect the exact vehicle rather than assuming protection.
Composite armor, ERA and impact angle change the result. Use Protection Analysis for the specific round and impact point you expect to face.
Ammunition
slpprj m/95 · APFSDS
Use against armored vehicles. Aim through crew or critical modules; the narrow shot path makes placement matter.
slsgr m/95 · HE
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
DM53 · APFSDS
Use against armored vehicles. Aim through crew or critical modules; the narrow shot path makes placement matter.
Ready Rack and Carry Load
- First-stage capacity
- 15 rounds
- Maximum capacity
- 42 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
- 68 km/h
- Maximum reverse speed
- 31 km/h
- Power-to-weight ratio
- 24 hp/t
- Engine power
- 1,500 hp
- Weight
- 62.5 t
Top speed is not cross-country pace. Check the reverse route before taking a firing position.
