M109 Self-Propelled Gun

The M109 Self-Propelled Gun is a vehicle used by the United States. It is not the same as a tank; while tanks are meant to dominate the battlefield with direct fire and thick armor, self-propelled guns are used for indirect fire support from afar.

Appearance
The body is rectangular and long. The turret is large and rectangular as well, with an odd piece at the back. The 155 mm gun is down when spawned but when it fires a medium arc it goes to a 45 degree angle and when it fires a high arc it points straight up.

Usage
This tank has some very big pros. It has a very long range, letting it hit vehicles before they hit you. It also has very destructive shells, able to knock over buildings and blow up tanks in only a few shots. It also can shoot up at Hueys that are standing still, blowing them to pieces in one shot. However, it has a lot of cons. APCs can be a threat to this since their speed can be used to avoid the arc shells, which are another con: it is hard to land a direct hit on a fast vehicle, especially a far-off helicopter. The armor is also light. The M109 has a very low speed and is subject to the shells of other M109s and M48 tanks, though it can easily hit these in return. The hatch also cannot close all the way, allowing players and grenades to get inside. It is recommended that you stay away from the battle and instead hit enemies from afar.
