Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

| Hull | 5 mm | 5 mm | 5 mm | 5 mm |
| Turret | 15 mm | 15 mm | 15 mm | 10 mm |
Notes:
- The chassis is 30 mm thick.
- The windows in the cab have no armor.
- The tracking radar is 15 mm thick.
- There are 5 mm plates inside the rear compartment (see image).

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good speed and mobility; easy to move around on larger maps
- High speed missile with long range
Cons:
- The single biggest ground vehicle in the game, longer and taller than a Maus - finding proper concealment is nigh impossible
- Every single gun in the game, MGs included, poses a threat
- No defense against any ground vehicles
- Lack of guns means it cannot defend itself from close aircraft
- No survivability from attacks from the ground or air
History
Devblog
The FlaRakRad self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system with the Roland 3 surface-to-air missile system became the most advanced modification of the Roland, Franco-German anti-aircraft missile. While the army version of the FlaRakPz 1 self-propelled air defense system was equipped with a tracked chassis, the air defense services and the German naval forces settled on wheeled chassis for AA systems for airfield protection. At the end of the 90's, a MAN 6x6 truck was chosen as a chassis for the Roland 2 complex, but soon a unified command vehicle on the chassis of the MAN 15t mil gl KAT I A1 (8×8) truck was adopted, which served as the basis for further development of the Roland family.
One of the latest modernization programs for the complex for the needs of the German army assumed the possibility of launching not only Roland 2 and Roland 3 missiles, but also promising long-range VT1 missiles, but the program was not completed and by 2003 Germany refused to further modernize the Roland complex in favor of more modern systems.
