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.

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:

• Fairly mobile, decent turn rate
• Adjustable suspension allowing for clearance height adjustment
• Good ammunition choices for its BR: 3BM42 and 9M119 are more than good enough to handle most enemies it faces
• Access to the excellent 3OF26 HEF-T explosive round which can disable or destroy targets behind cover if the top of their turret is visible
• Access to laser rangefinder allowing for quick long-range shots

Cons:

• Lack of thermals for both the gunner and commander mean you cannot effectively hunt for targets at dusk or during night battles
• Relatively slow reload rate of 7.1 seconds
• Very thin armour, which does little to stop anything but MG fire and autocannon rounds at a distance

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
