Battlefield Role

Cover friendly ground vehicles from an unobstructed air-defense position. Use the tracking and aiming systems fitted to this variant.

Strengths

The vehicle adds another fighting role and a dependable replacement spawn to the lineup.

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.
  • 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
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

Default · AP-T/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.

OFZ · HEFI-T

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

BT · AP-T

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

Ready Rack and Carry Load

Maximum capacity
200 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.

42 km/h
Maximum reverse speed
6 km/h
Power-to-weight ratio
21.5 hp/t
Engine power
170 hp
Weight

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