Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Decent Frontal Armor, can bounce some shots from autoguns
- Acceptable Mobility
- Good Penetration for an Autogun
- Good Depression and Elevation angles
Cons:
- Paper thin side and rear armor
- Mitragliera Breda cal. 20 mod. 35 fires slower than other autoguns
- 30mm of flat frontal armor is only enough for autoguns, anything else has no problem penetrating it
Performance
Best used as a flanker, distract enemy tanks or demolish their rears. Cruisers stand no chance against your autocannon. British tanks and Japanese are great targets. Your gun depression and small turret is very helpful for peeking over hills and should be used so.
