General info

Survivability and armour

Armour Type:

• Rolled homogeneous armour
• Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet)

Armour	Front (Slope Angle)	Sides	Rear	Roof
Hull	8mm (74°) Upper Glacis 8mm (44°) Lower Glacis	8mm (39°) Upper 8mm (29°) Lower	8mm (11°) Upper 8mm (44°) Lower	8mm (86°) Rear 8mm (90°) Front

Armour	Mantlet (Slope Angle)	Front	Sides	Rear	Roof
Turret	15mm (51°) Upper 15mm (22°) Lower 15mm (11°) Sides	15mm (24°) Front 8mm (13°) Turret Cheeks	8mm (33°)	8mm (11°)	8mm (85°) Front Glacis 8mm (90°) Rear 8mm (90°) Gunner Hatch

Armour	Sides (Slope Angle)	Commander Hatch (Slope Angle)
Cupola	15mm (0°)	8mm (90°)

Notes:

• The side engine grilles are only 5mm thick, so make sure to protect those weak points.
• There is an engine grille on the roof which is also only 5mm thick. A weak point planes might look to take advantage of.
• This vehicle unfortunately hull breaks quite easily.
• A tightly spaced crew of three makes it easily taken out by machine guns and auto-cannons.

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 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:

• 90 mm HEAT FS comes stock - HESH and smoke shells are unlockable later
• Rather good traverse and elevation rates allowing for quick reaction to incoming enemies
• Fast on road and medium terrain
• Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier than other light tanks
• Can repair friendly units
• Good multi-purpose tank, both for scouting, ambushing, and side shots
• Can swim!

Cons:

• Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre even at medium ranges
• Bad soft terrain speed, can barely break 25 km/h
• Very prone to being moved by both enemy units and explosions; a bomb going off nearby can flip the vehicle entirely

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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/(Vehicle-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.
