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.

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

The main advantages of the 40.M Turan I are it's fast reload speed and wonderful gearbox allowing to reach the same speed forward and backward. This allows you to turn your tank around and drive backwards, effectively removing the giant front plate weakspot that allows you ennemies to easily kill all your crew with APHE, or even AP. Moving backwards, you engine will absorb all shots in the hull. Keep in mind however that the turret armor is not great, and any shot penetrating it will likely kill all the crew inside.

With the reload speed being at around 3 seconds, it is advised to use AP (once unlocked) instead of APHE, since it has more penetration and the reload speed allows you to quickly finish an opponent that could have survived the first shot.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Reverse gearbox allows it to retreat from danger quickly, or to reposition itself conveniently
• Shoulder stabiliser gives it a fair advantage in close quarter combat
• 50 mm frontal armor is sturdy against tanks using small caliber rounds (e.g. M3/M5)
• -10° gun depression makes combat in mountainous terrain easy
• Spaced skirts on the sides protects the tank from HEAT (to an extent) and HE

Cons:

• Angling the hull leaves a section almost vertical to the direction of threat, becoming a weakspot
• Armor can be defeated by tank destroyers like ZiS-30 and Marder III
• Low power-to-weight ratio of around 13 makes cross country a struggle
• 40 mm cannon performs poorly in ranged combat, as its penetration drops drastically
• Lacklustre turret traverse speed

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.
