Field guns appear throughout "Storm of Steel" and "Through Mud and Blood" as the enemy's primary means of damaging the player's tank. A distinct vapor/smoke trail follows fired shells (more so than in multiplayer), allowing the player to identify these threats from afar if not yet spotted by teammates. Field guns are highly vulnerable to flanking due to their slow turn rate. As with other emplacements, its operator can be killed separately, possibly allowing other infantry (or the player) to re-man the gun. Destroying the gun itself ensures it cannot be used again.
