General info
Survivability and armour
The armor, though not thick, is highly angled and can bounce some hastily-made shots. It will not bounce APDS or HEAT rounds, so be wary of tanks bearing guns like those. Overall, it can un-reliably bounce shots and can save you from machine guns, at the very least. Do not use it to brawl, use it more like a Hellcat with better armor to flank.
