Armour type:

• Rolled homogeneous armour
• Cast homogeneous armour (Hull and Turret MG ports)
• Structural steel (Side Skirts)

Armour	Front (Slope angle)	Sides	Rear	Roof
Hull	50 mm (18°) Upper plate 25 mm (18°) Driver port 13 mm (75°) Upper glacis 15+35 mm (30°) Lower plate 15+35 mm (50°) Lower glacis	25 mm (10-16°) + 8 mm Top 25+8 mm Bottom	25 mm Upper plate 25 mm (46°) Lower glacis	13 mm (15°) Front glacis 13 mm Crew and engine compartments 10 mm Engine vent 13 mm (73°) Transmission compartment
Turret	50 mm (10°) Turret front 25 mm Gun mantlet	25 (10°) + 8 (11°) mm	25+8 mm	25 mm Front 13 mm Rear
Cupola	25 mm (71°)	25 mm (10°)	25 mm (12°)	25 mm (19°) Front 13 mm Rear

Notes:

• Suspension wheels and tracks are both 15 mm thick.
• The hull sides and turret sides and rear are protected by an extra 8 mm plate to provide protection from HEAT and HE shells.
• The front right side of the turret has one set of tracks acting as add-on armour with a thickness of 15 mm.
• Angling the tank to roughly 37-38° increases the armour of the front plate to 63 mm, however due to the armour arrangement, this allows a section of the side armour to have 30 mm of protection, leaving it vulnerable to most shells from opponents at its battle rating.

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:

• Short reload time
• Fairly mobile for its size and weight
• Quick and responsive reverse of -12 km/h
• Can bounce shots with a bit of angling

Cons:

• Struggles in an uptier
• Large profile
• Cramped turret, a penetrating shot often takes out the whole crew
• Littered with ammunition
• Angling too much presents a flat target for the enemy to shoot at, due to the shape of the hull
• Slow turret traverse

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).
