Usage in battles
When you spawn, it is advised to use your speed to drive to an area near the edges of the map and try and pick off any helicopters and unaware aircraft. Try to use foliage as cover and attempt to stay as hidden as possible. Your goal is not to get hit.
Use your missile range to your advantage and try your best not to be spotted.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- One of the longest ranges in the game at a maximum range of 12 km
- VT1 missiles come stock and are very fast, easy to hit long-range targets as well as fast moving ones
- Has access to gen 1 gunner thermals
- Can fire all 8 missiles without reloading
- Good vertical range of elevation
Cons:
- 8 mm of all-around armour is insufficient to stop even .50 cal machine guns below 1,000 m
- Search radar when unfolded sticks out quite far giving it a very tall profile - can however be folded
- Lacks any sort of self-defence against ground targets
- Lacks any sort of mobility uphill - and without mobility upgrades, the vehicle is nearly immobile due to the immense overweight on a 6x6 wheeled chassis
History
