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:

  • Has amphibious capability
  • High rate of fire and very short reload time for the 40 mm cannon
  • It has two 12.7 mm machine gun to complement the Bofors cannon
  • Versatile, can be used as a light tank or a SPAA
  • Large internal volume makes it remarkably survivable despite its thin armour

Cons:

  • Gun depression only limit to -3 degrees
  • Tall gun position with only -3 degrees gun depression, prone to close short range attacks
  • Big profile makes easier for enemies to spot you
  • Light armour and open-topped design make it vulnerable to air attacks, machine gun fire, chemical shells (HE, HEAT) and artillery strikes
  • Fuel tanks exposed on the sides and prone to fire when shot

History

In the wake of WWII, France possessed a large number of American vehicles in its service, including the LVT series of amphibious vehicles. These, along with other armored vehicles, were supplied to France as a short-term solution to rebuild the French military after the war. During the Indochina War of the early 1950's, LVTs in French service were modified to carry the 40 mm Bofors anti-air gun as it proved to be more effective against ground targets than the standard 37 mm cannon. These modified French LVTs also participated in the Suez Crisis of 1956, which also marked their final operational use.
