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 with a short profile, decent for sneaking around the map
- Main armament is able to obliterate light and medium tanks, particularly with hull shots
- Has a backup shell to defeat targets that are difficult to destroy with HE
- Great elevation angles
In relation to M109G alternative in italy Tech tree:
- Faster reload
- Lower profile, can hide being objects and be used to capture points on some maps
- Gun is more stable when moving
Cons:
- HE is unreliable against heavy tanks, many medium tanks can resist turret shots
- Very weak armour without any compensation
- If more than 12 shells is carried, it's almost impossible to survive a turret hit due to the weird ammo rack placement, but having such a low ammo load is bad for long-term gameplay
- Crew placement is not ideal, any shot that didn't hit ammo racks will likely hit the gunner instead
- Long profile, being hit while passing a crossing in a city might end badly
- Extremely slow turret traverse
- Commander scope is blocked by the IR spotlight, can be very annoying to deal with
In relation to M109G alternative in italy Tech tree:
- None to worse odds of survival if hit in a turret by a kinetic shell, so technically can be neutralized by anything
- Unreliable HE, must aim for the hull or weak spots for medium tanks, some heavy tanks require HEAT to destroy them
- No HMG to remove obstacles for HE/HEAT shells, combined with low profile can become borderline useless on some maps
- When cannon is fired broadside, the recoil will throw the tank around and disrupt the aim
History
The 2S1 was used extensively by the Hungarian Army during the Cold War. These vehicles were produced in the USSR as Hungary did not possess the necessary equipment to produce these vehicles in large numbers. The 144 remaining 2S1s were phased out by the Hungarian army in 2004.
