Player Recommendations

This tank is best played as a well armed scout, with it's mobility and camouflage values making it a fast and sneaky flanker. As it is the only AFV on it's tier with a large caliber weapon, it is best used in hit and run tactics against the sides and rears of MBTs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• High alpha
• Excellent gun depression
• High mobility

Cons

• Incredibly poorly armored against even the lightest of autocannons
• Slower than other AFVs on it's tier
• Vulnerable to counterattacks due to it's long reload
• Slow travel speed of shell

Upgrade Suggestions

Upgrading to the D-414.44/2 Diesel Engine will allow you to close the gap with the other AFVs, and allow faster extraction from dangerous locations. The Improved Gunner Sight and Improved Stowage will allow the vehicle to expose itself less while waiting for the aim circle to settle.

Retrofit Suggestions

• Advanced Muzzle Reference System
• Advanced Fire Control

• Improved Gun Breech
• Improved Spall Liner
