Mobility
Game Mode | Max Speed (km/h) | Weight (tons) | Engine power (horsepower) | Power-to-weight ratio (hp/ton) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Forward | Reverse | Stock | Upgraded | Stock | Upgraded | ||
Arcade | 112 | 22 | 8.7 | 248 | 305 | 28.51 | 35.06 |
Realistic | 100 | 20 | 142 | 160 | 16.32 | 18.39 |
Overall mobility is really great can reach up to 100 kph, avg speed off-road being 46-56 kph. Nice control over manoeuvrability even at high speeds. Mobility really suffers on snow or mud and severely hampers your speed. The AUBL/74 HVG also has amphibious capabilities, although speed in the water is limited to around 4 km/h.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- High engine HP/weight ratio and amazing top speed
- Perfect mobility on roads and urban environments
- Decent speed on plain fields, enough to keep up with light tanks
- Easy to control even at high speeds
- A rather small size vehicle, difficult to target and easy to hide
- Smoke grenade launchers located on the turret, a player can choose which side of the tank to cover
- Has an anti-aircraft light machine gun
- Decent armament for a light tank: acceptable rate of fire and penetration plus near-perfect accuracy using APFSDS
- Two-plane stabilizer allows accurate fire on the move
- Gets the premium tank boost to XP and SL
- Can navigate water features
- Outfitted with night vision devices
Cons:
- Stabilizer only works up to 75 km/h
- Horrible mobility in shallow water and snow results in heavy dependence on roads
- The main gun, while accurate, has a low calibre of 60 mm, more than one shot is often required to take out an enemy tank
- Small crew of three
- Next to no armour, vulnerable even to light machine gunfire
- Easily taken out by SPAA and other light tanks
- Driver's viewports greatly limit the gun depression on front-right of the tank
- All six smoke grenades are launched at once
- While swimming, it can only go around 4-5 kph
- Does not have thermal vision capabilities
