Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. 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.

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:
- 5 second reload with max crew
- Two-plane stabilizer
- 3 machine guns (2 x 7.62 mm & 1 x 12.7 mm) with one on the roof
- An effective HEAT shell with a relatively high muzzle velocity
- Access to APDS and HESH as well
- Above average reverse speed in comparison to some other British tanks
- Very mobile due to lighter weight
Cons:
- Poor armour all around, front armour is only good against autocannons
- Only -7° of gun depression compared to the more common -10°
- The coaxial 12.7 mm machine gun is meant for rangefinding and has only 7 mm of penetration
- The roof machine gun is only 7.62 mm
- Ammo rack in the front right next to the driver
- Slow gun elevation speed affects gun handling
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
