Pros:
- Access to HEATFS that can penetrate every tank that it typically has to face
Cons:
- Limited kinetic ammunition variety - the only kinetic ammunition is APCR
- Of the chemical rounds available, only the HEATFS round is of noteworthy use
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-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 />.
