There are several important tasks for self-propelled guns during the battle.

First of all, they must focus on damaging or destroying hardest armored enemy tanks.

Even best defended position can be taken after softening it with artillery fire.

Another equally important task is to destroy enemy artillery positions.

There are two ways to do it.

First and easiest one is to follow our scout and attack detected self-propelled guns.

PC

Unfortunately not always our light tank is able to get to enemy rear lines.

Then we have to use more difficult method calledcounter-artillery/counter-arty.

In this case we have to excellently know the current map and where the enemy artillery usually is placed.

PC

Then we activate sniper mode, point the sight on the area where enemy artillery resides and … wait.

When we see the enemy shell trace, we point the sight to its end and fire.

With any luck after few second we will get confirmation of hitting enemy vehicle and see burning wreckage.

PC

But we have to remember that the enemy will also hunt for our artillery.

Beginners usually opt for easiest targets to destroy and despite earning several kills they lose battles.
