Advantages:

Very far gun range (990 meters!), and very high alpha damage for a tier III arty
102mm lower front plate can bounce even some tier V guns
Great engine power and acceptable top speed; good for relocating
Surprisingly quick RoF for a 105mm Howitzer gives the Priest an acceptable DPM (+1200 if all shells hit and pen)
Can hold a very large amount of shells (69!)

Disadvantages:

Although quick for a tier III howitzer, the reload in general is slow; missing in a close quarters fight will cost your life
Very sluggish traverse, you must be wary of flankers
Armor is a lie, 102mm is only on the lower plate, the entire superstructure is only 12mm thick
Pretty inaccurate, even for an arty; misses are very likely to happen
Tiny splash damage, even slightly missing yields little (if any) splash

Tank description:

The M7 Priest is an American tier 3 self-propelled gun.Manufactured on the suspension of the M3 and M4 tanks from April 1942 through March 1945, with a total of 4,316 vehicles produced. The M7 Priest first saw combat at El Alamein.The Priest has good reload time for an SPG, at the cost of being somewhat inaccurate and having poor splash damage - should it miss, it will not deal significant damage to close targets. Also, hitting high tier enemies with the regular HE shell will almost always ping them for a meager amount of damage, which can be frustrating at times. With the 8.6 update, it has changed from tier IV to III with the previously tier III M37 taking its place. Due to this, it is considered to many players as the most overpowered tier 3 artillery.The M7 Priest marks the end of its American self-propelled gun line.
