 * '''B1 bis/ter:''' Can pose a serious threat to the Lago I if unattended, the B1's 47 mm can penetrate the Lago I if gets into close combat. The 75 mm can also pose a serious threat to the Lago I if the shell hits. If the Lago I is not equipped with the slpprj m/49 APDS round, it will have a struggle to defeat the armour of the B1, specially against the more armoured version Ter which puts the Lago I in a huge disadvantage if fighting in close quarters. If equipped with slpprj m/49, the B1's can be fought at distance where the Lago I will have the advantage.
-* '''[[M4 Sherman (Family)|M4 Sherman]]:''' Low rank Shermans like M4A1 and M4A3 105 can pose a serious threat, having mobility and guns capable of eliminate the Lago I with ease. Their short 75 mm and 105 mm can easily penetrate the Lago I and close range and at distance. These are highly dangerous enemies for the Lago I even if equipped with APDS rounds. The angled armour of the Shermans can easily bounce the 37 mm rounds of the Lago. You must be more careful where you aim when fighting Shermans. But even if the Shermans are a dangerous target, they are not invincible for the Lago I can deliver a well-placed shot, or a flanking manoeuvre could give the Lago the penetration it needs to cause serious damage to the Shermans.

The small breech of the vehicle also give it great gun depression, making it able to peek over hills to engage with hostiles without endangering itself.

 The Lago I is a medium tank one has to get used to. It has a 37 mm gun with a short barrel similar to that of the early Panzer III's [[KwK36 (37 mm)|37 mm KwK 36]], which gives it inadequate penetration against better-armoured targets. Enemy tanks with an effective armour of above 55-60 mm will be a concern against the stock shell slpprj m/38 and the upgraded slprg m/39, but the 3,7cm slpprj m/49 might be sufficient when it is unlocked.
-The armour of the Lago I might look weak with it being 34 mm maximum at the front, giving it a similar armour to that of a light tank, but it can still bounce shells with its angled armour. Angling the armour gives the {{PAGENAME}} more effective armour than it actually has, which can make it a difficult tank for inexperienced tankers to fight. But even while angled, the Lago I has lots of weak spots in the front where its armour is less than 34 mm thick or is flat, which makes it vulnerable to most tanks at its BR.

 The Lago I has a great power-to-weight ratio, giving it an excellent acceleration and manoeuvrability. Use its great acceleration to get into positions where the slpprj m/38 and slprg m/39 will actually penetrate the enemy vehicle. The Lago I equipped with slpprj m/49 can pose a serious threat to more heavily armoured vehicles like the [[B1 ter]] and [[M4A3 (105)]] as the sabot has excellent penetration for its BR. However, sabot rounds have poor post-penetration damage and you should therefore aim to disable the enemy crew rather than try to knock out the whole vehicle.

-The Lago I's engine power also allows it to reach top speed fast, having great acceleration can make a huge different when it comes to survival. Being able to avoid shells with its narrow and small silhouette, it can move around the battlefield quickly like a light tank, except that it got one draw back of its limited speed of 45 km/h making it slower than a light tank, though this is still an adequate speed to move around slower targets and to pose a serious threat. But it also have a slow reverse speed of -7 km/h which makes it harder to hide after peeking around a corner after taking a shot or have fired off a shot, but it's still a decent reverse speed for it.
