General info
Survivability and armour

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.

Armaments
Main armament
Main Article: 40mm Ivakan m/36 cannon
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Advise about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Belt types
| Belts | Shell composition | Combat usage |
| Default | HEFI-T, APC
(High Explosive Fragmentation Incendiary tracer, Armour-piercing capped) shell |
This belt type works fine, although half of the shots (APC) in this belt is for fighting tanks, while the other half (HEFI-T) is for fighting planes. Use them if you don't know what you'll encounter. |
| slsgr m/36C | HEFI-T, APC
(High Explosive Fragmentation Incendiary tracer, Armour-piercing capped) shell |
Versus planes and open combat compartment vehicles. Most planes will only take a few shots before going down. |
| slhpgr m/43 | SAPHEI, HEFI-T
(Semi-armour piercing high-explosive incendiary, High Explosive Fragmentation Incendiary tracer) shell |
Best belt type to use against tanks. The SAPHEI shells have decent penetration and an explosive filler. |
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).

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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