| Despite the menacing profile, the Hail is surprisingly limited to anti infantry duty. Since the majority of NATO vehicles have top armor 1, it would statistically need over 10 hits just to kill a single APC. Other Soviet Artillery pieces feature 3+ and 2+ firepower with Anti Tank 4, making them preferable to destroy a horde of Scorpions, or M113s. However, the Salvo template means that entire platoons will be shelled, with good positioning allowing you to pin two or more platoons. Even though it could theoretically destroy an infantry platoon over several turns, your best bet is to use the Hail for smoke and suppression while your Acacias and Gvozdikas destroy enemy armor, and your infantry blast enemy troops to pieces with their ROF 3 assault rifles.

| Do note that these vehicles are literally unarmored trucks with a 5+ save, meaning that APCs with machine guns have a very real chance to turn your Hails into blazing wrecks. Keep them safe in your backline!
