-''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.''
+In terms of mobility the TPK offers a double edged sword. On flat, paved roads the high power to weight ratio allows the vehicle to maintain a high speed (~50-70kph) when in a straight line. On rough, off road conditions the mobility is less appealing due to it using wheels instead of treads. In these conditions, expect to maintain at most ~45 kph, with any opportunity to slow down taken without your consent. If you are forced to traverse a river or any body of water, only do so if you are certain you will not be fired upon, with speed dropping to under 25 kph. There is a silver lining, however; the guns. The recoil from firing them directly behind you can give you a makeshift afterburner to cross water or get up hills before someone tries to delete you.
-{{tankMobility|abMinHp=227|rbMinHp=142}}
+A thing to note is that because of the wheels instead of treads, you cannot turn on a dime; small alleyways or making a 180 to get away can be difficult to maneuver. At speed be careful when turning, it is easy to oversteer and potentially roll over. Reverse is respectable at 14 kph, making backing out of a situation less painful; It also allows you to back out from behind cover to take shots at the enemy quicker than previous vehicles in the tech tine.{{tankMobility|abMinHp=227|rbMinHp=142}}

 {{main|Oerlikon KAD (20 mm)}}
-''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.''
+In start contrast to to the previous vehicle in the tech line, the TPK 6.41 goes in favour of volume of fire. With a rate of fire over 4 times faster than the AMX-13 DCA 40, the player can feel comfortable with more consistant hits. the magazine capacity of 240 rounds means you can continuously for approximately 24 seconds, but be careful of overheating if you get too trigger happy. Overall, the guns on this SPAA allow for a much easier time taking down aircraft than the previous vehicle.
