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:

IRST tracking (undetected by RWR)
Infrared missile guidance provides more stealthy attacks compared to missiles that rely on radar (fire and forget, no painting to alert enemy RWR)
Harder-hitting and more manoeuvrable missiles compared to its successor LAV-AD
Can perform scout functions for extra team assistance
Thermal imaging to assist with target acquisition

Cons:

Missile armament lacks IRCCM
Absolutely no defensive armament, strictly anti-air
No armour
Lacks search radar (must rely on visual and sound to find enemies)

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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

-'''Pros:'''
-•IRST Tracking (no radar notification for enemy).
-•Infrared missile guidance provides more stealthy attacks vs. missiles that rely on radar (fire and forget, no painting to alert enemy RWR).
-•Harder-hitting missiles compared to it's successor LAV-AD (multiple KGs of explosive on the Chap. compared to a lowly 540g on the LAV.
-•Missiles on the Chap. can pull Gs more reliably compared to it's successor LAV-AD (16.5 Gs on the Chap. vs just 10 Gs on the LAV.
-•Easy stock grind (upgraded all-aspect missiles is tier 1 modification).
-•Missiles can be locked on and fired off in quick succession.
-•Can perform scout functions for extra team assistance.
-•Thermal imaging to assist with target acquisition.
-*
-'''Cons:'''
-•Missile armament lacks IRCCM (if enemy flares, the missile will go for flare, meaning PLACE SHOTS CAREFULLY).
-•Absolutely no defensive armament, strictly anti-air.
-•No armor (machine guns will tear it to shreds).
+'''Pros:'''
-•Open top at the front (4 crew subject to INSTANT DEATH from any machine gun).
