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.

Armaments

Main armament

155 mm kan m/60 cannon

Autoloader

Automatically feeds projectiles into the breech. The speed does not depend on the skills of the loader

Ammunition14 rounds

Reload3.2 s

Vertical guidance-3° / 40°

Horizontal guidance-15° / 15°

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

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:

• 3,2 seconds autoloader on a 155 mm weapon. There is no other big weapon reloading faster than this currently in the game
• All of the ammunition is stored inside the autoloader, so there is no ammo starvation
• It is difficult to take this tank out with a single shot with kinetic shells from the front, unless the ammo rack is detonated
• HE shells have higher muzzle velocity than the ones of the competition, making them easier to aim

Cons:

• Only 14 shots
• Poor elevation and depression of the gun, limiting its use as an artillery
• Poor gunsight zoom of X4
• Armour will not sustain autocannon fire, can be vulnerable to HMG at the close range as well
• No turret, which is usually a downside for a tank forced to fight at a close to medium range

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
