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:

  • Neutral steering gives the tank decent reflex mobility
  • Can climb over rough terrain with ease due to its World War I design
  • Reverse gearbox lets you pull out quickly of dangerous situations
  • Has a dozen crew members, highly survivable
  • Flank attacks from behind are easily shrugged off due to containing no essential crew
  • Large unoccupied zones, can absorb shells

Cons:

  • Awfully slow top speed
  • Armour is mediocre at best, very vulnerable to high calibre HE or autocannons
  • Limited turret traverse, very prone to flanking
  • Poor elevation and depression angles
  • Extremely large, easily spotted and hit

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
