Most people hate this tank for its poor armour, less-than-average mobility for a light tank, and low alpha damage. However, this sneaky Lewis Hamilton of a tank can be used successfully for its superb gun handling.
Tier V is dominated by a few big names. There's the KV-1, the side-scraping love of Stalin, with its 85 mm troll. There's the
AT-2, which has 8 inches of armour. And you can't go far without talking about the Snow Cat, the Leopard. As a far from OP light tank, this is an underdog. However, I may be mistaken, but this has insane gun depression, at -15 degrees. Or that was the good old Covenanter.
When it comes to firepower, this has 90 average damage and 18.75 RPM, bringing 1688 DPM. This is a lot for your tier, and with 0.34 dispersion, 2.3 seconds of aim. A rammer and vents will increase your DPM to 1941 damage, not to mention crew mastery, adrenaline, and whatever perks you can find. But the biggest thing with being a 360 degree noscope is having shots go in. This is where it shines, with 115 or so mm of pen. This seems weak, but APCR can offset this with 180 mm, and lowly HE with 15 mm of pen.
Your mobility is trash, as in, not good for a light. 44 kph or so, you will go faster sometimes. I've played 30 or so games, maxed this tank out, and I've only went to 60 kph once, down a cliff. But your COD ability is quite good, as you can flank with your low silhouette and E-25 -esque abilities.
Play this fast and loose. Exploit gaps or you can snipe.
