Battlefield Role

Use cover on the flanks to spot enemies and pick your shots. Use active scouting if your vehicle has it.

Strengths

Look for a covered position that gives you side shots while teammates hold the enemy’s attention.

When to spawn

Bring it to scout from cover or to attack from a new angle after losing your first vehicle.

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
3 persons

Machine guns, autocannons and nearby explosions can be dangerous. Stay hidden and know how you will get out before firing.

Composite armor, ERA and impact angle change the result. Use Protection Analysis for the specific round and impact point you expect to face.

Ammunition

MILAN · ATGM

Check seeker and guidance requirements before launch. Keep the target within the weapon’s tracking limits and retain cover for the engagement.

30x170 APHE-I · SAP-I

Weapon
30 mm L21A1 automatic cannon

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

30x170 HE-I-T · HEI-T

Weapon
30 mm L21A1 automatic cannon

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

30х170 APDS-T · APDS

Weapon
30 mm L21A1 automatic cannon

Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.

MILAN · ATGM

Weapon
MILAN 2 anti-tank guided missile

Check seeker and guidance requirements before launch. Keep the target within the weapon’s tracking limits and retain cover for the engagement.

Ready Rack and Carry Load

Maximum capacity
8 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.

80 km/h
Maximum reverse speed
80 km/h
Power-to-weight ratio
21.2 hp/t
Engine power
