Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles
Gameplay Summary
Object 775 plays very similarly to the IT-1, another rocket only tank in the Soviet Tech tree. However, unlike IT-1, the 775 can also engage somewhat effectively in the CQC if needed. Like most ATGM tank destroyers, being only equipped with the Rubin anti-tank missile can put the 775 at a disadvantage in many situations when facing conventional enemies armed with a cannon, but it does have the capacity to excel in certain situations, like setting ambushes.
Close Range Engagement
Unlike IT-1, 775 has some chance in CQC due to its very low profile and the adjustable suspension can help to "level" the battlefield. However, player should weight their options, because once committed to the attack, backing out is difficult due to the signature Soviet horrendous reverse speed.
Needless to say, some attention must be paid to your team status as well, as sometimes an enemy might get very bold if all allies surrounding you have died, and since you only have one launcher, fear is all you have to protect the 775 from a large tank squad.
Mid to Long Range Engagement
The mid to long range is the optimal engagement range for many ATGM tank destroyers and 775 is no exception. However, player must use terrain a bit differently, as unlike IT-1, the 775 doesn't have a top mounted launcher to shoot over the hills but a 125 mm D-126 rifled missile launcher.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- A very, very low profile
- Adjustable suspension
- Mouse-guided rockets
- Autoloader
- A decent frontal armor
Cons:
- Only two crewmembers
- Massive Autoloader
- Terrible reverse speed
- Poor depression and elevation angles
- No heavy caliber machine gun
History
Devblog History
In the early 1960s, the USSR began to develop a promising medium tank with guided missile weapons. Engineers from the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant presented two prototypes for testing of the Object 775 tank, featuring Rubin anti-tank guided missiles, which are launched from the barrel of the tank. In 1968, the project was closed due to the concentration of efforts on the Object 434 tank project (which became the T-64A). The only surviving Object 775 is on display at the Patriot Park in Kubinka near Moscow.
