Description

General info

Survivability and armour

The armor is capable of defeating M735 and most early HEAT-FS when hitting the composite armor arrays, However the lower plate is very weak due to the layout of the armor. Please do note there is a fuel tank sandwiched between the composite armor which will usually lead to a fuel fire when hit, Recommended to play hull down if you dont have FPE (Please note i have only played the tank once so i may have missed something, Someone else who has played it more will have to edit this as i only edited it because there was nothing here originally.)

Armour type:

Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 340 - 360 mm 50 mm Top

Turret 320 - 415mm Turret front
250~ mm Gun mantlet
160 KE - 260 CE mm 28 - 59 mm 20 - 40 mm
Cupola 80 mm 80 mm 80 mm 18 mm

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".

Pros:

  • Basically a better armoured TTD
    • Hull can block at least one HE hit from late game tanks without consequences (unless it was an SPG)
    • NERA placement is more solid and turret front is actually almost HEAT-FS proof, can survive some ATGMs
    • The ammo rack is more compact
    • 8 smoke groups
    • Has 3 MGs with focused fire to get rid of slow ATGM
  • Slightly faster than similar tanks

Cons:

  • Final ammunition has worse angled penetration than TTD or TAM 2C
  • No thermal scope at rank VI
  • If ammo rack is hit directly through the tank, it is likely that the tank simply explodes; a penetrating hit on either side can render the tank unable to fight regardless
  • The turret roof is not HE proof and it is reasonably easy to hit machine guns above it
  • Autocannon tanks and even .50 cal HMGs can easily bully it even from the front if they see the turret ring or the hull bottom

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: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
