Survivability and armour

Most protection you’ll get with this is from the from of the Hull and driver armor which is where the most armor is at (14.5mm)

Weakest area on the whole tank is the gun armor plate and it doesn’t help when 3/5 crew members are behind it. The gunner and loader are next to each other and when a shot or two hit them the 4mm turret armor doesn’t help with protecting them. The armor that the turret gives isn’t enough for protecting the vital crew members (gunner / loader) As long as your tank is at an angle where the front hull is more visible then you’ll be protected a good amount, but if your turret mantle is exposed, you going to be a destroyed half track.

The ammo stowage positions aren’t bad since they’re right behind the machine gunner and driver which will take all shrapnel from incoming rounds, but can still be easily destroyed

Note:

  • Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.

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".

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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