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:
- Very high velocity APFSDS round means "point and shoot" at typical War Thunder combat ranges - no need to account for projectile drop at range
- Outstanding armour penetration by HEAT-FS and APFSDS rounds
- Very good spalling effect from the kinetic energy spread and explosive mass from HEAT-FS round
- Good mobility for the size of gun
- Only Soviet tank destroyer with a turret
Cons:
- Weak armour - vulnerable to anything bigger than a heavy machine gun, and even those from some angles at short range
- Poor depression for main armament
- Low ammunition load
- All projectiles carried in rear of turret behind thin armour makes ammunition explosions very likely from turret hits
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. 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).
