Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .

<value_unset_error>

While the hull is a conversion of the M24 Chaffee, unfortunately the extra weight means it retains little of the original vehicle's maneuverability. The initial acceleration and hull traverse rate are very poor and the suspension should be the first upgrade since it can't mount the upgraded gun without increasing the weight limit. Upgrading the gun will allow you to fire almost across the map (the increased range isn't listed on the in-game stats). Despite the vehicle's flaws, both 105mm guns hit very hard for their tier and allow the M37 to punch above its weight in heavier battles.

The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.
