Crew:

Commander (Radio Operator)
Driver
Gunner
Loader

Advantages:

Excellent accuracy and aiming time on top gun
Superb gun depression at -15
Low dispersion on the move and on turret rotation (the best of tier VI mediums)
Almost best shell velocity of tier VI (beaten only by some TD)
Easy stock grind: competitive right out of the gate.

Disadvantages:

Overall armour negligible, turret can''t bounce any shot even from lower tiers
Top gun carries below-average ammo count
Below average DPM for Tier VI mediums though somewhat rectified with a rammer & vents
Rather tall profile makes peeking ridges effectively difficult even with the great snap shooting ability, easy to spot and hi
Very prone to arty penetrations as the tracks offer little to no protection from splash and mantle doesn''t absorb much either
