Belt types

Belts	Shell composition	Combat usage
Default	APHE / FI-T (Armour Piercing High Explosive –Fragmentation Incendiary tracer) shell	This belt is useful against lightly armoured open-topped tank destroyers, or bombers. Against other SPAA this belt can reliably take out crew, armament, ammo and engine.
Sprgr. 18	FI-T (Fragmentation Incendiary Tracer) shell	Versus planes and open combat compartment vehicles. Lighter aircraft will often go down by a single hit.
PzGr	APHE (Armour Piercing High Explosive) shell	Ammo against tanks. It has comparable power to regular Rank I tanks, but combined with the Insane RoF, can be very deadly. It even has the HE filler, 3-4 well aimed penetrating hits can disable any tank.
M.Gr.18	FI-T (Fragmentation Incendiary Tracer) shell	Versus planes and open combat compartment vehicles. Lighter aircraft will often go down by a single hit.

Usage in the 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:

• Extremely powerful ATGM with 8 missiles.
• Can stop pushes if manages to get to good cover.
• Can survive direct hit by a miracle and even brawl with MBT's if armour mod is installed.
• The only British light tank beyond rank 1.

Cons:

• Can be destroyed by other light tanks easily, especially if you don't pay attention.
• Any properly landed turret shot will end you, no way to survive, if it also was HE.
• Many will be disheartened by main gun's performance, especially in a duel with other light tanks.
• Add-on armour does less than you may expect from it, it's not clear when you survived by sheer luck or because of armour plates.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources 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.
