Guided Shell

A Guided Shell is a projectile fired from the main gun of a tank, with the added possibility of guidance afterwards. As a side effect, the shell might be slower than regular tank shells.

Battlefield 3
Guided Shells are a vehicle specialization that grants the driver of a tank to fire guided shells, although much more is not known at this time.

Guided Shells replace the Coaxial LMG/HMG. When fired, the shell looks more like a rocket and it is much slower than a regular shell. The speed is about the same as a regular rocket and has an effective range of about 300m. Targeting time is very similar to heatseekers or guided rockets. One hit won't even disable enemy tanks and a hit is not guaranteed. Reloading takes about 4 seconds.
