Battlefield Role
Use a covered firing lane and observe the flanks between shots. Avoid exposing the hull while waiting for the next round.
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
- 3 persons
Protect the sides and rear, limit repeated exposure from one position and avoid assuming that a strongly armored plate protects the whole vehicle.
Composite armor, ERA and impact angle change the result. Use Protection Analysis for the specific round and impact point you expect to face.
Ammunition
3BK18M · 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.
3OF26 EDKV · HE-TF
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
3BM42 · APFSDS
Use against armored vehicles. Aim through crew or critical modules; the narrow shot path makes placement matter.
3BM46 · APFSDS
Use against armored vehicles. Aim through crew or critical modules; the narrow shot path makes placement matter.
9M119M1 · ATGM (tandem)
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
- 28 rounds
- Maximum capacity
- 45 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
- 70 km/h
- Maximum reverse speed
- 11 km/h
- Power-to-weight ratio
- 26.6 hp/t
- Engine power
- 1,250 hp
- Weight
- 47 t
Top speed is not cross-country pace. Check the reverse route before taking a firing position.
