-The Gepard performs best when stalking enemy aircraft, scanning the sky for a target and waiting until it gets in range of the radar, and only attacking when the radar can provide a lead estimation, thus preserving ammunition which is critical since the cannons will expend it quickly in combat situations. Helicopters will more than often chose to keep a reasonable distance, usually outside your radar's range but this can be countered by using the API-T rounds in short burst until the range of the enemy has been correctly guesssed, it only takes a few rounds to destroy an enemy aircraft.

 Engaging ground vehicles comes with the risk of being destroyed without doing any significant damage so weigh this option carefully, unsuspecting light tanks are fair game but most tanks will pose a threat even when attacking their side without the appropriate ammunition belts. The Gepard 1A2 shouldn't get into any firefight with vehicles that aren't lightly-armoured since the MBT's protection is increased at this BR compared to the Gepard's BR.

 Introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]], the Flakpanzer Gepard 1A2 is similar to the standard Flakpanzer Gepard in terms of gameplay. The addition of four Fliegerfaust 2 Stinger missiles extends its engagement range slightly but should not be relied on to hit aircraft as they are fairly easy to evade.
