*Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
*Racks 8 and 9 are first stage ammo racks. They total 8 shells and get filled first when loading up the tank.
*These racks are also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 8 - 9 - 1 - 2 - etc. until 7.
*If you pack 29 ''(+36)'' shells, it will keep most of the hull empty of ammo.
*Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1-7 into racks 9 then 8. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

'''Notes:'''

*Suspension wheels, tracks and torsion bars are 20 mm thick.
*The turret ring is 70 mm thick.

The armour of the {{PAGENAME}} is identical to the M48A1. The ammo rack in the turret is removed and the shape of the front hull ammo racks are improved. The front armour is able to handle almost most APHE shells it might face, but struggles against HEATFS and APDS rounds. The lower front plate is a weak spot. The sides are decently armoured, but not thick enough to make angling the hull a valid tactic. Some thin vents on the top of the hull are vulnerable to strafing runs by enemy aircraft, which may cause engine fires. Overall, the {{PAGENAME}} has excellent armour protection for its tier.

*As they are modeled by sets of 2, shells disappear from the rack only after you've fired both shells in the set.
*Racks 4 and 5 are first stage ammo racks. They totals 27 shells and get filled first when loading up the tank.
*These racks are also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 4 - 5 - 1 - 2 - 3.
*Full reload speed will be realized as long as shells are available in the ready racks 4 and 5. If the ready rack is empty, a penalty to reload speed will occur.
*Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 3 into racks 5 then 4. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.
*If you pack 21 ''(+43)'' shells, it will keep the front hull and the turret bustle empty of ammo.

== Usage in battles ==
'''''Stock Gameplay:'''''

The stock grind of the Magach 2 is problematic since the M332 APCR shot is the only stock ammunition provided, excluding the HE shell. Because of the lacklustre performance of APCR shots against angles, and the limited post-penetration damage it inflicts, players need to aim very carefully. Players may find the most success through flanking, and assisting teammates disable enemy armour. Sticking close to allies is near mandatory, as being caught off guard with the APCR is often times a death sentence. Players should prioritize unlocking the M82 APCBC round immediately, as it improves the tank's offensive capability significantly. Along with the Magach 2 decent manoeuvrability while stock, flanking with the APCBC shell is a viable, and quite effective, option.

'''''Spaded Gameplay:'''''

The Magach 2 is a powerful tank. The M431 HEATFS round has adequate penetration, and in the event that a round with higher post penetration effects is needed, the M82 APCBC is also available. The gun and reload rate are comparable to other main battle tanks of the battle rating, although the Magach 2 relies on its HEATFS round for most situations. The armour on the Magach 2 is adequate, able to bounce enemy shells depending on the angle. The night vision image intensifier equipment and IR lamp can be a big advantage during night battles, but Magach 2 players should be careful not to expose themselves using their own IR lamp. The Magach 2 does not excel spectacularly in any way, but it is an adequate medium tank that is well suited to most situations.

'''''Close Range Engagements:'''''

The Magach 2 is capable at close range, but it is not exceptional. It has decent acceleration and gun handling, meaning it will do decently. Additionally the armour can prove useful even at close range. The only issue for the Magach 2 at close range is the post penetration on the HEATFS round. Generally using the APCBC round is more effective at close ranges.

'''''Long Range Engagements:'''''

The Magach 2 is very capable at long range. The HEATFS round will easily penetrate almost any enemy tank at any range. The biggest issues the Magach 2 will face in regards to long range engagements is the velocity and drop on the HEATFS round. Once this can be accounted for, it will perform very well. Additionally, the armour is even more effective at long range.

'''''Gameplay summary:'''''

Although the Magach 2 is very difficult to play when stock, it is an adequate frontline tank while spaded. The good HEATFS round gives it a strong position in the German tech tree. The Magach 2 is a true main battle tank, and will perform well in any situation. The one disadvantage the M48 may suffer from is a lack of a stabilizer on the main gun. While most tanks which it faces also lack stabilization, those that have it will have a big advantage over the Magach 2.
=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

*'''Decent frontal hull armour, impenetrable UFP for most conventional ammo'''
*'''Good firepower'''
*'''Good mobility'''
*'''Has a commander's .50 calibre machine gun'''
*'''APCBC round with devastating high-explosive filler for great damage upon penetration'''
*'''Surprisingly survivable, two crew members often survive a shot'''
*'''Gun mantlet tend to stop conventional rounds'''
*'''More favourable matchmaking compared to other 90-mm armed M48 Pattons'''

'''Cons:'''

*'''Difficult APCR stock grind'''
*'''Turret armour isn't reliable'''
*'''Commander's cupola weak spot'''
*'''Ineffective armour in an uptier'''
*'''No stabilizer'''
*'''Ammunition explosions are common as most of the shells are in the front next to the driver'''

''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 flexibility 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.''

== 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: <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></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Usage in battles ==


The Pbv 301 shall be used mainly as an SPAA. Its cannon with its pinpoint accuracy and a high rate of fire for its BR along the slsgr m/42 HEFI-T belt prove devastating to deal with low-flying planes and bombers. During a game, it is recommended to stay within the confines of your spawn and scout the skies for any aircraft. The high muzzle velocity and rate of fire make this vehicle effective against aircraft at medium ranges.

In an anti-tank role, the Pbv 301 is only effective against light tanks and SPAAGs, as the armour of most tanks at its BR is thick enough to resist 20 mm cannons shells. It is therefore not recommended to play this tank offensively.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fully-enclosed design, granting the crew a higher chance of survival.
* Equipped with smoke grenades
* Low profile
* Adequate mobility
* Good rate of fire

'''Cons:'''

* Little armour, effective only against machine gun fire
* Only 2 crew members, very low chance of surviving a penetration shot.
* Limited elevation angle
* Long reload time
* Limited belt capacity
* Confined to a strict AA role, inadequate against ground forces
