General info
Survivability and armour
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
The SAV 20.12.48 features no machine guns, so its ability to fight lightly armoured or unarmoured vehicles is hampered. However, the high rate of fire of the main gun helps with knocking out the crew of these vehicles rather quickly.
