-The {{PAGENAME}}'s gun is a renamed Bofors 40mm cannon, which is used on other AA guns such as the [[Crusader AA Mk I]] and the [[M19]]. The main difference is that the gun can fire {{Annotation|SAPHEI|Semi armour-piercing high-explosive incendiary}} shells, which act like APHE, penetrating tanks and then exploding inside. These shells can be very effective against enemy vehicles, but do not have as much penetration as the standard AP shells. These shells can make the gun quite effective against light and even medium tanks at the {{PAGENAME}}'s tier, but the inaccuracy of the gun makes using them a challenge. At ranges beyond around 100 meters it becomes difficult to hit weak spots reliably, even when firing the gun semi-auto. Automatic fire is rarely accurate enough to even land shots on target at this range. The gun has both high dispersion and recoil, which causes the unstable truck chassis it is mounted on to jiggle back and forth. Nevertheless, with trigger discipline and at closer ranges the gun can tear apart enemy tanks, especially from the side or rear.

 As any anti-aircraft vehicle, the {{PAGENAME}} is to be used against aerial targets to cover teammates from aerial attacks. The low fire rate of the 40 mm gun can make this task difficult, but one hit with the cannon's high-explosive shells should be sufficient in knocking down a plane from the skies.
-Although being classified as an Anti-Air vehicle, one manner the {{PAGENAME}} can be used to great effect is as a tank destroyer. Due to the high penetration of the 40 mm AP shells, the {{PAGENAME}} can take advantage of most tanks having weak armor at its battle rating even frontally. However, caution is required as the gunner is exposed and the {{PAGENAME}} is not fast enough to be able to retreat once under attack.

 * Gun is inaccurate at longer ranges and when firing full-auto
 * Slow turret traverse
 * Hard to hit ground targets forward of the vehicle due to poor gun depression
 * Not very agile due to it being on a truck chassis
