General info

Survivability and armour

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.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Fairly mobile
• Main armament able to deal with soft and medium targets
• Great elevation angles

Cons:

• Long profile
• Very weak armour

• Extremely slow turret traverse

History

The 2S1 was used extensively by the Hungarian Army during the Cold War. These vehicles were usually produced in other countries such as the U.S.S.R as Hungary did not possess the necessary equipment to produce these vehicles in large numbers. Sadly, The 2S1 was phased out by the Hungarian army in 2004 with the Army phasing out 144 of these precious pieces of history.
