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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- Main cannon is powerful. It has great penetration, reload speed and nice trajectory. AP penetrates normal targets (T-34, M4) easily and APCR (up to 128 mm penetration) can also effectively pen heavy targets like the KV-1 (L-11)
- Extremely high forward and reverse speed makes it the fastest vehicle on road; can get to positions quickly or retreat fast
- Small and narrow frontal profile allows it to hide behind small bushes or rocks; it's also harder to get hit
- Can be a great scout vehicle in higher ranks due to its fast speed. Even the M18 GMC cannot easily outrun it
- Only 8 mm side armour meaning some shells will go straight through without being detonated
- Has a wide range of good-looking camouflage to unlock. Suitable for almost every terrain/map
- Has 6 smoke grenades that create a wide frontal screen when launched; very useful when trying to cover up a general area
- Surprisingly durable at times, due to inexperienced players shooting at the front, ignoring the crew member lying in the back
- Gun mantlet is thick and covers most of the turret, which makes the turret surprisingly durable
Cons:
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
