tier IX medium made in France. Wargaming Tankopedia technical details »

Skill4ltu rating notes:

There is a big difference between standard and premium ammunition so if you can afford it, have as many gold shells as possible. When there is no light tanks in the game, you can take a role of a spotter. Excellent use in the end of the game.

  • Beginner Friendliness
  • Gun Handling

      Off-Road Driving

It's up to you to decide whether to use Concealment/Safe Stowage or Adrenaline Rush instead of Deadeye.

You can replace Concealment/Repairs for Recon as well, but make sure to start with Situational Awareness.

Gunner - 5th skill - reset, get Dead Eye for more critical hits if you want to and start Repairs again.

*Order of skills and perks is important.
