The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet tank destroyer {{BR2}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.67 "Assault"]].
 +
 
 +
This unarmoured truck is equipped with a good fast-firing 76.2 mm canon, which has similar armour penetration to the infamous [[85 mm Tank Gun D-5|D-5T]] from later soviet vehicles. This is the last unarmoured truck chassis of the Soviet tech tree, after the [[94-KM ZIS-12]] and before the [[ZIS-43]].
 +
 
 +
The 29-K is a pure sniper, use it as such. This truck is all about its precise, fast firing gun and nothing else. Safely cover up 2/3 of your vehicle behind a building, leaving only the gun, gunner and one loader exposed, taking precise shots at unsuspecting enemies.
 +
 
 +
'''''Mobility'''''<br>
 +
It's a cannon on wheels. Unlike most other Soviet trucks, it is not a GAZ chassis, it is a ten-wheeled YaG-10. This new (and unique) chassis is slower than its predecessors, but has better ground flotation with 10 wheels in total (8 in the back and under the gun, 2 at the front). The wheeled configuration makes turning on the spot impossible; thus, anticipate your escape route in case the situation turns sour.
 +
 
 +
'''''"Protection?"'''''<br>
 +
It has 6 crew members, meaning it can take a few shots and even resist MG fire (if well-covered). Ammo racks are covered with 12 mm steel plates, meaning regular MGs cannot ignite them. Otherwise, any HE shell will rip you off really quickly and artillery usually shreds you. This low armour value has its advantages: APHE shells will often not detonate or simply not hit anything if shot from the sides.
 +
 
 +
'''''Gun'''''<br>
 +
The 76.2 mm 3-K equipped on this chassis is one hell of a gun, with good penetration and a relatively flat ballistic trajectory. ''3 loaders'' provide it with a fast reload speed, comparable to Rank 1 vehicles. These 3 crew members allows a bit of loss before feeling a reduced firing rate. The only things the gun may lack is a good amount of HE filler for killing easier and a faster turning speed for reacting faster. This gun has similar characteristics to the [[85 mm Tank Gun D-5|D-5T]], found on later Soviet tanks, providing a good learning curve to tanks using it (mainly [[SU-85]], [[IS-1]], [[T-34-85(D-5T)]]).

This truck is preferably used at a distance to increase its survivability. Most MGs have poor accuracy at distance, greatly decreasing their ability to shred the 29-K. It has a good and very precise gun capable of taking down (almost) any target it may encounter from the front. Always show your side since it decreases the chances of having a bullet pass right through all of your crew member in one shot. Showing your side allows your to use your full 360° traverse to its best. If possible, only show your gun, this way, it often allows you to hide quickly if being shot, only sacrificing 1 or 2 crew members.

Description

GarageImage YaG-10 (29-K).jpg


The YaG-10 (29-K) is a Rank II Soviet tank destroyer Template:BR2. It was introduced in Update 1.67 "Assault".

This unarmoured truck is equipped with a good fast-firing 76.2 mm canon, which has similar armour penetration to the infamous D-5T from later soviet vehicles. This is the last unarmoured truck chassis of the Soviet tech tree, after the 94-KM ZIS-12 and before the ZIS-43.

The 29-K is a pure sniper, use it as such. This truck is all about its precise, fast firing gun and nothing else. Safely cover up 2/3 of your vehicle behind a building, leaving only the gun, gunner and one loader exposed, taking precise shots at unsuspecting enemies.

Mobility
It's a cannon on wheels. Unlike most other Soviet trucks, it is not a GAZ chassis, it is a ten-wheeled YaG-10. This new (and unique) chassis is slower than its predecessors, but has better ground flotation with 10 wheels in total (8 in the back and under the gun, 2 at the front). The wheeled configuration makes turning on the spot impossible; thus, anticipate your escape route in case the situation turns sour.

"Protection?"
It has 6 crew members, meaning it can take a few shots and even resist MG fire (if well-covered). Ammo racks are covered with 12 mm steel plates, meaning regular MGs cannot ignite them. Otherwise, any HE shell will rip you off really quickly and artillery usually shreds you. This low armour value has its advantages: APHE shells will often not detonate or simply not hit anything if shot from the sides.

Gun
The 76.2 mm 3-K equipped on this chassis is one hell of a gun, with good penetration and a relatively flat ballistic trajectory. 3 loaders provide it with a fast reload speed, comparable to Rank 1 vehicles. These 3 crew members allows a bit of loss before feeling a reduced firing rate. The only things the gun may lack is a good amount of HE filler for killing easier and a faster turning speed for reacting faster. This gun has similar characteristics to the D-5T, found on later Soviet tanks, providing a good learning curve to tanks using it (mainly SU-85, IS-1, T-34-85(D-5T)).

Usage in the battles

This truck is preferably used at a distance to increase its survivability. Most MGs have poor accuracy at distance, greatly decreasing their ability to shred the 29-K. It has a good and very precise gun capable of taking down (almost) any target it may encounter from the front. Always show your side since it decreases the chances of having a bullet pass right through all of your crew member in one shot. Showing your side allows your to use your full 360° traverse to its best. If possible, only show your gun, this way, it often allows you to hide quickly if being shot, only sacrificing 1 or 2 crew members.

Do not:

  • Rush into towns
  • Drive directly towards an enemy
  • Stay near an artillery strike
  • Snipe in the middle of a field: Find yourself a cover

Although this is a Rank 3 vehicle, its low BR often places it against Rank 2 tanks. Even with it's awesome cannon, this truck can encounter fierce foes with even better armour.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Decent 76.2 mm gun can penetrate most enemies.
  • Very fast reloads with 3 loaders.
  • Precise gun, good ballistic trajectory.
  • Paper-thin armour makes AP rounds over-penetrate.
  • Six crew members.
  • Ammo racks are protected from MG fire.

Cons:

  • Paper-thin armour can have machine guns rip it to shreds.
  • Poor gun depression of -3°.
  • Ammo rack in rear and middle of the overall vehicle.
  • Slow gun traverse.
  • Very low mobility.
  • Can easily killed by plane by shooting or ramming.
  • No access to APCR.
  • Lack of a gun shield means that the gunners are easier to take out than they are on the 88mm Flak Truck.
  • Shredded by artillery and HE shells.
  • Prone to hull break.
  • Cannot shoot upfront due to the high truck cabin.
