Battlefield Role

Help hold objectives, move between cover and flank when there is an opening. Choose your approach around the mobility and gun handling of your tank.

Strengths

Use the balance of mobility and firepower to move between attacking and defending.

When to spawn

A useful first spawn on many maps. In uptiers, work with teammates for side shots rather than forcing a frontal fight.

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
5 persons

Keep the hull covered and check side routes. Medium tanks vary widely in how much armor you can rely on.

Positioning

Use terrain to conceal the hull and solid cover to shield the sides. Expose the turret only long enough to fire, then retreat along the covered route.

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

M77 shot · AP

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

M71 shell · HE

Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.

M82 shot · APCBC

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

M304 shot · APCR

Reserve for a flat armor plate your other rounds cannot penetrate. Avoid steep angles and aim directly at a crew member or critical module.
