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 Pbv 301 shall be used mainly as an SPAA. Its cannon with its pinpoint accuracy and a high rate of fire for its BR along the slsgr m/42 HEFI-T belt prove devastating to deal with low-flying planes and bombers. During a game, it is recommended to stay within the confines of your spawn and scout the skies for any aircraft. The high muzzle velocity and rate of fire make this vehicle effective against aircraft at medium ranges.

In an anti-tank role, the Pbv 301 is only effective against light tanks and SPAAGs, as the armour of most tanks at its BR is thick enough to resist 20 mm cannons shells. It is therefore not recommended to play this tank offensively.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Fully-enclosed design, granting the crew a higher chance of survival.
  • Equipped with smoke grenades
  • Low profile
  • Adequate mobility
  • Good rate of fire

Cons:

  • Little armour, effective only against machine gun fire
  • Only 2 crew members, very low chance of surviving a penetration shot.
  • Limited elevation angle
  • Long reload time
  • Limited belt capacity
  • Confined to a strict AA role, inadequate against ground forces
