Pros:
- Wire-guided allowing easy aiming
- Great penetration compared to alternatives at similar BRs
Cons:
- Hard to aim at range
- Lose control if line of sight is blocked
- Defeated by ERA protection
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(weapon-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.
