Battlefield Role

Cover crossings from concealment. Set up the firing arc before exposing the hull; move before an enemy reaches the side.

Strengths

A dedicated gun or missile role provides a different engagement option from the main fighting vehicles.

When to spawn

Choose it for a job your team needs. After a loss, try a different route rather than driving back into the same firing lane.

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
2 persons

Protect the sides and rear, limit repeated exposure from one position and avoid assuming that a strongly armored plate protects the whole vehicle.

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

9M123 · ATGM (tandem)

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

9M123F · ATGM-HE

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

First-stage capacity
13 rounds
Maximum capacity
16 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 forward speed
70 km/h
Maximum reverse speed
20 km/h
Power-to-weight ratio
27.8 hp/t
Engine power
500 hp
Weight

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