U12906097: /* Wiki Update */ new section

=Pz.II C=
as the person who wrote the base version of the Pz.II C bio, which you appear to have edited -
please go back through and fix some of the grammar.
also,
a 1 dollar US coin is approximately 1 3/4 inch in diameter. by changing it to "Coin", it's a bit ambiguous.
I've not bothered to change it because I really only intended to do a basic Bio, because I knew others would come along to edit it and refine it.

== Wiki Update ==

Thank you for moving that section on the SU-5-1, I'll be working on updating/filling in some of the pages for USSR, USA, UK, GERMANY, and CHINA. Any suggestions you may have would be fantastic :D

U12906097: /* Description */ Corrected inproper italization :3

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_su_5_1}}

== Description ==
Based on the T26 Chassis and designed in the early part of the 1930’s, The SU-5 was part of many new Soviet design’s in mechanized vehicles. The SU-5 ended up seeing 3 test vehicles built in 1934 starting with the SU-5-1, a SPG (Self Propelled Gun) armed with a 76.2 mm Divisional Gun (Model 1902/1930). Other configurations that following the SU-5 design was the SU-5-2, an SPG with an 122 MM Howitzer gun, and the SU-5-3, another SPG design with a 152.4 mm divisional mortar gun. Ultimately, in 1936, the Soviet Red Army ordered 23 vehicles in the SU-5-1 configuration. Once the Soviet Union entered the war in 1941, The large majority of the SU-5 fleet was placed on the far east front. During the war, the SU-5’s, As with most SPG’s of the time, were used to provide indirect fire on enemy positions. This process consisted of firing without direct line of site of the target.

'' In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert the screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, they will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''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 helpfull for survival in combat?''

''If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and maneuverability as well as the maximum speed forward and backward.''

== Armaments ==
=== Main armament ===
''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 flexibilty 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: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''

=== Additional armament ===
''Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.''

=== Machine guns ===
''Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft, but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.''

== Usage in the 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 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 ===
''Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.''
