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

Due to its good mobility and fast-firing cannon, this tank is perfectly suited for flanking enemy positions or sniping from afar. Due to its poor armor protection and large ammo rack weak spot, taking this tank into a head-on fight is often very dangerous, but can still hold its own if the player has quick enough reaction times. If you get behind an enemy, an enemy and don't get a kill shot with your first round, you can often reload fast enough to fire another before the enemy has time to travers their turret. This is especially true against Russian MBT's of this BR.

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:

• Very short reload time thanks to its autoloader
• Good mobility
• Good gun handling with laser-rangefinder, quick turret traverse, and full stabilizer.

Cons:

• Doesn't have access to thermals
• Small first stage ammo storage, and all additional ammo is kept at front of hull presenting a large weak point.
• Poor armor protection overall
• HEATFS for stock grind

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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