Description The 2S9 Sochor is a self-propelled, heavy artillery vehicle used exclusively by CSAT forces in ArmA 3. The 2S9 Sochor is a lightly armored self-propelled artillery piece used by the OPFOR army. It's based on the T-100 chassis and fires 155mm projectiles. The T-100 chassis interior has to be heavily modified to allow support for the 155mm cannon with auto-loader. The modification paid off and several Asian countries are now in the process of modernizing their heavy artillery division with the 2S9.

While the Sochor is not specifically based on a real-world design, the idea of combining a tank chassis with an SPH turret (which is also shared with the NATO M4 Scorcher) is similar to that of the real-world Russian-made "2S35 Koalitsiya-SV".
Like the in-game Sochor, the 2S35 utilises a self-propelled artillery gun mounted on a chassis derived from the "T-90" MBT.
Even though the range of the Sochor is further than the size of any of the official terrains, it is quite similar to the range of the real 2S35, with both being able to strike targets at a maximum distance of approximately 70 km.
