Tank description:

The Object 261 is a Soviet tier 10 self-propelled gun.Developed on the basis of the IS-7 in 1947. The vehicle was supposed to feature a 180-mm naval gun. However, the project was discontinued.Rather than using the 203mm gun from the the 212A, it mounts the 180mm which may turn some people off with its lack of damage. It does compensate with a higher rate of fire, and has good accuracy which makes some players would use Armor Piercing shells for more consistent damage and better penetration. Unfortunately it only carries 18 rounds as opposed to 40 rounds on the 212A. It is quite mobile for its size, having the second highest top speed of the five Tier 10 SPG''s. Also, Update 9.18 removed AP and HEAT rounds from SPG''s that aren''t premium, leaving HE sitting in dust on this arty. Damage and pen per shell is on par with M40/M43 (T8) and American SPG''s have the best firepower. However, these drawbacks doesn''t setback it against its competitors.The Object 261 marks the end of its Soviet self-propelled gun line.
