War Thunder - The 2S1 Gvozdika Self-Propelled Howitzer is Coming!

A New Warrior on the Battlefield of War Thunder

Friends, buckle up! The next major update for War Thunder is on the horizon, bringing us the first mass-produced amphibious self-propelled howitzer. Yes, you heard it right, the Soviet 2S1 Gvozdika is rumbling straight towards us!

What Does the 2S1 Gvozdika Have to Offer?

This impressive machine is a true all-rounder. Equipped with a 122mm howitzer and HEAT shells, it is not only capable on land but also at sea. However, it should be noted that it is relatively lightly armored.

A Brief History Lesson

The development of this new type of self-propelled howitzer began with the proven D-30 howitzer and the chassis of the MT-LB multipurpose amphibious towing vehicle. This combination was so successful that it was produced until the 90s and is still in service with many armies worldwide today.

Who is the 2S1 Gvozdika suitable for?

The 2S1 is perfect for players who prefer a dynamic playstyle and enjoy surprising their opponents. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for various strategies, but beware! Its light armor makes it vulnerable to autocannons and forward-facing aircraft weapons with armor-piercing belts.

How can I secure the new tank for myself?

Good news! You can secure your Steam Key for the upcoming War Thunder update now at Keyfuchs. This way, you'll be one of the first to plow through the battlefield with the mighty 2S1!

Conclusion

With its combination of dynamism and versatility, the 2S1 Gvozdika will certainly be a valuable addition to War Thunder. So keep your eyes open and be ready when the next major update goes live!
