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 Shell is a vehicle specialization that grants the driver of a tank the ability to fire guided shells. The tanker can either use their own weapon lock, or assail a laser designated target.

When fired, the speed is about the same as a regular rocket, slower than the standard HEAP round. The tank-based tracking system has an effective range of about 300m. Targeting time is very similar to heatseekers or guided rockets. Reloading takes about 4 seconds.

A single hit in self-guided mode will inflict damage similar to other common anti-vehicle weapons. When fired on laser designated targets, the shell will attack the top of the vehicle for increased damage, often enough to disable a full-health vehicle.

Target vehicles can protect themselves using IR Smoke or an ECM Jammer. Thermal Camo and Stealth may help protect the target against tank-based detection.
