General info

Survivability and armour

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

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

Pros:

• Fast, it can reach 105 km/h in RB and deals relatively well with off-road terrain, even in reverse.
• The main gun reloads in 5 seconds even with 2 active crew members and the autoloader has a capacity of 12 rounds.
• The shells have a very high muzzle velocity (1,000 m/s for APC) and, despite the lack of explosive filler, deal a lot of damage.
• Both the front and back wheels steer, resulting in a pretty small turning radius.
• The hull armour, in the front (and back), is enough to stop .50 AP fire, as well as 14.5 mm AP-I(c) from 200 meters or more; the turret front may be even able to stop some autocannon fire.
• As this vehicle is an armoured car, spotting is available.

Cons:

• Due to its shape, a penetration in the front (or back) by any actual tank cannon will mean losing the vehicle.
• The 7° gun depression is far from optimal for players that want to shoot from an hull down position.
• The massive radio antennas will make you visible even when the rest of the vehicle is hidden behind a hill or small building.
• Very easy to spot and recognize from the side due to its size and shape; in addition, the side armour (15 mm) won't really stop anything more than small calibre machinegun fire.
• The roof of the turret, right above the crew and autoloader drums, is 10mm thick, making it vulnerable to airborne attacks.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
