 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]].
+The '''2S1 Gvozdika''' is a Soviet self-propelled howitzer that was introduced in 1972. The vehicle utilizes the MT-LBu chassis and is equipped with a 122 mm 2A18 howitzer. The vehicle is operated by four crews: commander, gunner, loader, and driver. It is separated into two principal compartments, with the driver in the front on the left and the other crews in the turret at the back. The 2S1 Gvozdika's welded steel armour offers minor protection against small arms fire and artillery shrapnel but is insufficient for direct confrontations with enemies. The first prototype was delivered in 1969 and entered service with the Soviet Army in the early 1970s. It made its public debut at a Polish Army parade in 1974. The vehicle has amphibious capabilities and can be ready for amphibious operations in under 20 minutes. Before entering the water, crews will activate the bilge pump, mount the trim vane at the front of the hull, attach shrouds above the drive sprocket and front roadwheels, and lower water deflectors on rear track covers. During amphibious operations, the vehicle's tracks propel it forward, while a bilge pump through the exhaust pumps out any water that enters.
-This self-propelled howitzer sports a 122 mm and is fully amphibious though in game it is not currently capable buoyancy.
+Introduced in the [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], the 2S1 Gvozdika has a distinct playstyle when compared to other vehicles in its rank. It is armed with a 122 mm 2A18 howitzer and fires high explosive (HE) shells at adversaries rather than the more frequent armour-piercing (AP) ammunition used by tanks. However, the large calibre of the main armament means that even if the HE shell fails to penetrate most enemy vehicles that the 2S1 Gvozdika encounters, the sheer explosive strength of the ordnance frequently ensures severe damage, if not outright destruction. Built on a light chassis, the 2S1 Gvozdika boasts exceptional top speed, allowing the player to get into key positions early in the battle. However, players must be aware of the vehicle's slow turret traverse speed and thin armour structure, as missing a shot is typically fatal due to poor survivability and a high reload time.

 === Survivability and armour ===
 {{Specs-Tank-Armour}}
-The 2S1 has as much armor as light tanks such as the [[PT-76B]], light enough armor to be penetrated by the american 50 cal, so therefore this tank is not the most protected. the armor does do surprisingly well in up-tiers with no armor being the best armor.
+<!-- ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.'' -->

-In Relation to RB:
+<!-- ''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.'' -->
+In RB, the mobility of the 2S1 is tolerable. It reaches a higher speed quicker than most tanks in its BR due to it being built on a light chassis but bleeds speed quickly when turning. Turning the 2S1 from a stand still is incredibly slow and driving forward or reversing first is suggested to gain the needed momentum to turn.
-The 2S1 moves like a light tank, accelerates quickly and has a high speed with good turning with some speed bleeding.

-''As a 2S1 your biggest weakness is high fire rate guns such as AA and other howitzers as both can eviscerate your vehicle very quickly. In RB it is suggested to use your howitzer as it was intended, long distance destruction. as a 2S1 in RB use your speed to get to vantage points. remember the 2S1 does not have much gun depression so you will need to use the environment for your own concealment and gun shooting angles.''
