General info
Survivability and armour
Armour Type:

- 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.
Mobility
Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability as well as the maximum speed forward and backwards.

Additional armament
Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.
Machine guns
Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.
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
- Fast on road and medium terrain
- Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier
- Can repair friendly tanks
- Good multi-purpose tank
- Can swim
Cons:
- Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre even at medium ranges
- Bad soft terrain speed, can barely break 25 km/h
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.
Media
An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
