Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

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:
- High speed especially on paved road, comparable with fast foes like BT-5
- All-wheel steering, very agile navigating through urban areas
- Fast turret traverse, can keep up with high-speed targets like planes
- Good -16km/h reverse speed, helpful to retreat from danger
- 20-round magazine is beginner friendly
- Very small profile, easy to hide in bushes
Cons:
- No HVAP shells unlike the German version, cannot penetrate armoured targets like H.39, D2, etc
- Very poorly protected, even a heavy machine gun can frontally penetrate it
- 7-second reload is quite slow
- 280 rounds/min fire rate is slower than the German version, requiring extra aiming skills to hit planes
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
