Crew:

Commander (Radio Operator)
Driver
Gunner
Loader

Advantages:

Second camouflage values in the game when stationary, as well as when firing and a very small silhouette.
Fast rate of fire. Extremely fast-firing, accurate stock weapon
Good speed and acceleration for a Tier 3 TD, similar to the SU-76
Very small size makes it hard to hit
Contrary to its typically sluggish traverse speed, it can perform tight handbrake turns from high speed on a dime.

Disadvantages:

Some of the worst gun depression in the game at 2 degrees, lower than every SPG of its tier, and twice as low as the second w
Very narrow arc of fire. Worthless armor and front-mounted engine is easily knocked out
Poor traverse speed, and nearly untraversable on sloped terrain; top engine is only +10 horsepower and +5% chance for fire
6-pounder gun can only fire AP and APCR rounds, and borders on inaccurate for a sniping role.
The lightest tank in game at 2.7 tons; extremely vulnerable to ramming even by light tanks.

Tank description:

The Renault UE 57 is a French tier 3 tank destroyer.Developed in 1943 in Great Britain by mounting the 57-mm British Ordnance QF 6-pounder anti-tank gun on the chassis of the French tankette UE2. The gun featured a muzzle brake designed specifically for this gun. One prototype was manufactured.Often nicknamed "The Rat", the Renault UE 57 is currently The second Smallest "Tank" in the game (after TKS 20mm). Its most obvious features are its great gun choices, starting with the same gun from the FT AC. Its next 57mm is an excellent gun for its tier and can penetrate almost anything it comes across. However, its armor can''t bounce anything, but if you get shots off on your enemy before they do they''ll most likely be dead. It has a great rate of fire, though the elevation, traverse and depression of the gun are very limited. It''s also a relatively fast tank, which is negated by its terrible traverse speed. In all it''s best used to snipe from afar using its highly accurate and great gun, as you won''t last long if you get very close to the front line. This tank is quite hard to play and is not at all rewarding, most of the time. If you have a good game then you have a great game, but these are few and far between. This tank will be a very, very hard grind, especially since you have to research the tier 4 through a second gun, which adds and extra 3,600 exp onto your grind.The Renault UE 57 marks the end of its French tank destroyer line.
