'''Notes:'''

* The side engine grilles are only 5mm thick, so make sure to protect those weak points.
* There is an engine grille on the roof which is also only 5mm thick. A weak point planes might look to take advantage of.
* This vehicle unfortunately hull breaks quite easily.
* A tightly spaced crew of three makes it easily taken out by machine guns and auto-cannons.

== 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 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:'''

* 90 mm HEAT FS comes stock
* Fast on road and medium terrain
* Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier
* Can repair friendly tanks
* Good multi-purpose tank
* Can swim

'''Cons:'''

* Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre even at medium ranges
* Bad soft terrain speed, can barely break 25 km/h

== 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.''
