Description

  • Available as a general upgrade at Rank 5 from the Tank Supplystation.
  • Can engage infantry, vehicles and structures if they are within their range.
  • Missiles launched can deal heavy damage to all targets.
  • Has an extreme range but a very low view sight.
  • Fires up in volleys of rockets inaccurately over the designated area, then takes a great deal of time to reload.
  • Reveals itself through shroud to all enemies when firing.

Usage

  • It can destroy all armoured units with a direct hit, so use it to support your units against tanks.
  • It makes up for its inaccuracy with numbers, so try to fire at stationary targets to maximize its chances of hitting a target.
  • Use in conjunction with the 2S1 Gvodzika to cause great damage to structures and other targets.
  • They are very weak, so keep them protected from all types of attacks and especially air attacks.
  • Never use them in the frontline.
  • Effective against all targets, so don't hesitate to use them when support is needed.

Against Infantry

Kills any infantry unit with a direct hit.

Against Tanks

How to defend against

  • Anti-Tank missiles can take out with one or two hits.
  • Anti-Tank Soldier is good for the job if they manage to get close.
  • Anti-Tank vehicles like the Humvee TOW and BRDM-2 AT-5 Spandrel can make short work of them.
  • Helicopters are great for the job of taking them out.
  • They can't fire if you come within a short distance of them, so be sure to exploit that for your advantage.
  • Garrisoned structures are a good defense against BM-21s on close distances.
  • USA heavy snipers can kill the crew of this vehicle, allowing capture by your forces.
