Doctor_Nix reviewDoctor_Nix's review:

Playable 4.9/10

I personally play this artillery with 152mm BR-2 Gun. Same situation as with SU-14-1. I think the best cannon is not the best solution. Of course who likes to enjoy the big gun 203mm B-4, let him try and see for himself if I'm right. But when he misses a couple of times in a row, and the reloading time is 40 seconds, he will accept my advice. Mobility is very poor. One of the slowest artillery. So don't expect much from this artillery.
