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

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

• Extremely fast on road, both forward and backwards like the Sd.kfz.234
• Fast turret traverse of ~25°/s allows it to engage agile targets like M18 easily
• 75mm M61 shell has great penetration and explosive filler. Can one-shot common tanks like Pz.IV H, M4A3, T-34-57, etc
• Has a narrow and low silhouette, easy to hide behind vegetations/cover
• High reverse speed and smoke grenade launchers grant it excellent tactical agility, can get out of dangerous situations quickly

Cons:

• Mobility on loose surface is significantly worsened. Relies on roads heavily
• Thin armour can be penetrated by anything. Heavy MG and autocannons (eg. M16 MGMC, Wirbelwind) are more dangerous
• Steering radius is quite large, navigation in confined environment can be awkward
• M61 cannot reliably penetrate tanks like StuG III G, T14, KV-1E
• Wheels are large and spread out, can get damaged easily

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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