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
4 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

152 mm HEAT-FS · HEATFS

Use against armor where the jet can reach the crew. Composite armor and ERA can defeat it; fences and other obstacles may trigger the shell before impact.

152 mm APDS-FS · APFSDS

Use against armored vehicles. Aim through crew or critical modules; the narrow shot path makes placement matter.

152 mm HE · HE

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

Ready Rack and Carry Load

First-stage capacity
10 rounds
Maximum capacity
22 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.

64 km/h
Maximum reverse speed
15 km/h
Power-to-weight ratio
17.9 hp/t
Engine power

Weight

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