Usage in battles

The Ozelot requires discipline to use efficiently. Care must be taken not to fire on enemies flying too close, otherwise the missile not be able to turn enough to hit the target. The Ozelot should be used in an open environment, as obstacles can interfere with the radar guidance of the missiles, or even get hit by the missiles themselves. Helicopters are this vehicle's main oponent. There is no reason to leave the spawn other than trolling purposes.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very fast and agile
  • Missiles require no guidance after firing
  • Missiles do not require the vehicle to be stopped to fire.
  • Small and easily hidden
  • Gen 3 thermals for scouting and sighting targets
  • Most adorable AA vehicle in the game

Cons:

  • No armor
  • Missiles are temperamental at best
  • No method of defending itself from ground vehicles

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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