General
Based on a stretched MT-LB chassis, the 2S1 (Rus: 2C1 "Carnation") is a fully amphibious 122mm self-propelled howitzer developed by the former Soviet Union which entered service in the early 1970s. It is in common usage by nearly all former Russo/Soviet client states along with numerous second and third world militaries. The turret mounted 122mm 2A18 howitzer is based on the D-30 towed howitzer and fires HE, HE/RAP, HEAT (direct fire), flechette, leaflet, and various chemical rounds. As with most other Soviet designs, the 2S1 is amphibious with minimal preparation.
Beginning with Steel Beasts Pro PE version 3.002 the 2S1 is fully functional as an indirect-fire artillery piece capable of firing HE and smoke missions, along with limited direct-fire self-defense capability.
