Hull & survivability
| Hit points (HP) | 176 |
|---|---|
| Weight | 2.8 t |
| Hull armor (F / S / R) | 16 / 16 / 16 mm |
The front-to-side armor ratio is 1.0:1. Side armor is relatively comparable to the front, meaning the MS-1 can absorb some side hits in close-quarters fighting.
Mobility
| Top forward speed | 32 km/h |
|---|---|
| Top reverse speed | 8 km/h |
Forward-to-reverse speed ratio is 4.0:1. Reverse speed is limited, so pre-aim and exposure timing matter more on this vehicle.
Camouflage
| Camo (stationary) | 26.3% |
|---|---|
| Camo (moving) | 19.8% |
Available guns (2)
| Gun | Tier | Damage | Pen | Reload | RoF |
