Advantages:

Gun range: 600 m
High damage and penetration, can one shot most LTs in tier upon direct hit
Large splash radius for its tier and high shell trajectory, can damage unsuspecting opponents
Is the only SPG at its tier that can stun
Insanely powerful top radio, can stay in touch across the map; despite rarely useful due to its low accuracy at range

Disadvantages:

Mediocre to bad maneuverability even for a SPG, slow acceleration and traverse
Difficult to handle: has very limited gun arc, lengthy aim time and bad shell velocity
Limited damage potential due to slow reload rate and small supply of only 12 shells on board
Little self-defense capability: extremely low view range, unreliable accuracy even at point-blank range and little armor
