“	Cette plate-forme d'artillerie mobile très puissante est dotée d'un ensemble de robustes béquilles mécaniques qui lui permettent de supporter la puissance des tirs du canon de 150 mm. La variante "Sarissa" est une version particulièrement originale et ingénieuse du châssis du char Lance, qui permet une grande polyvalence lors des attaques de blindés et réduit considérablement le travail lié au transport et au déploiement des batteries d'artillerie statiques.	„

Storage & Transport

Le véhicule ne peut pas être stocké dans un Dépôt, Port ou Navire de Stockage.

Il peut être emballé en un large Expédiable et transporté par un Véhicule d'expédition (Barge, Cargo, Navire de Stockage, Navire de débarquement, Wagon Plat, ou Grande Grue).

Tactics

Standard Equipment Loadout
Like with every other armored vehicle, the crew should ALWAYS equip themselves with a Gas Mask and multiple Filters to avoid dying to Gas Grenades. Additionally, they should bring a Hammer and Basic Materials to repair the tank. These tactics can be buffed by wearing either a Tank Uniform or an Engineer Uniform.

The high rate of fire of SPGs make them a powerful tool for suppressing enemy pushes, and their high resilience to counterbattery makes them especially useful for sieging concrete bunkers with howitzer garrisons.

Due to their outstandingly high price and significance, SPGs are a high-value target on the battlefield. To prevent enemy infantry or tanks from destroying them, more effort should be put into preparing defenses around them than other artillery guns.

Tips

• Like all vehicles that use large shells, they can be quickly submitted into them without accessing their inventory
  • While this can be done for all vehicles, it should only be done if they can carry/use large items

1. Equip the shell and walk up to the vehicle
2. Submit the shell into the vehicle - press V

Trivia

• A "Sarissa" is a type of long spear made famous by the Greek Phalanxes fielded by Alexander the Great.
