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

You should use its speed to get to positions where the enemy team would not suspect you, and take advantage of your 20 mm's high rate of fire to quickly dispose of unaware tanks. If you are engaging someone in CQC, you should try to take out their gunner or barrel before trying to finish your enemy off, although you should be able to penetrate most enemy tanks frontally. You can also utilise its speed to reach capture points early before attacking the enemy, which will also help your team as you are essentially scouting for them when they catch up to you.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Its AP-T belt easily penetrates most tanks at its BR
• Its 20 mm has a high rate of fire, making quick work of most tanks
• High top speed of 78 km/h both forwards and backwards
• Great survivability due to a crew of 6
• Modules in the tank are somewhat small and difficult to damage

Cons:

• Slow turret traverse, does not respond to flankers well
• Hull traverse is slow since it has a long hull and it is a wheeled vehicle
• Basically has no armour all round

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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