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.
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
- 5 persons
Your crew and equipment are vulnerable to ground fire. Check nearby roads and corners while watching the sky.
Positioning
Use solid cover around the crew compartment and stay clear of enemy tank sightlines while tracking aircraft.
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
Universal · APC/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.
37 mm M54 · HEFI-T
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
37 mm M59A1 · APC
Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.
Ready Rack and Carry Load
- Maximum capacity
- 240 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.

- Maximum reverse speed
- 17 km/h
- Power-to-weight ratio
- 16.4 hp/t
- Engine power

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