Battlefield Role

Use cover on the flanks to spot enemies and pick your shots. Use active scouting if your vehicle has it.

Strengths

Look for a covered position that gives you side shots while teammates hold the enemy’s attention.

When to spawn

Bring it to scout from cover or to attack from a new angle after losing your first vehicle.

Common Mistakes

  • Repeating the same peek. Once an enemy has your range, move to another angle before firing again. A second shot from the same opening is easier to anticipate.
  • Firing without a retreat. Choose cover you can reach during the reload. Do not cross into an enemy firing lane just to finish a damaged target.

Survivability and Armor

Crew
4 persons

Machine guns, autocannons and nearby explosions can be dangerous. Stay hidden and know how you will get out before firing.

Keep exposed sides and the fighting compartment behind cover. Check the incoming round and impact angle in Protection Analysis before relying on the armor.

Ammunition

slpprj m/38 · APBC

Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.

slpgr m/39 · APHE

A practical anti-tank round when it can penetrate. Aim into the fighting compartment so the explosive filler can reach crew and modules.

3,7 cm slpprj m/49 · APDS

Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.

Ready Rack and Carry Load

Maximum capacity
100 rounds

Carry enough for the route and resupply plan. A listed first-stage capacity alone does not establish a safe spawn load or prove that another rack is empty.

Power-to-weight ratio
