And I don't even want to talk about the engine compartment's armor. Heavy machine gun or a well placed sniper shot will incapacitate the tank. Both the Operator and the Bow gunner are only protected by armor a few millimeters thick (If they're lucky to get any armor at all). It's got plenty of front armor to keep off Covvie fire, but the armor protecting the crew is very thin. The armor can only be described as poorly designed.
With a crew of only 2 (Or just 1 on some models), there's not a lot of awareness for the vehicle and it depends on the infantry for guidance. To put it lightly, for its roll as a 'tank', it's not great. Oooh man, I have some beefs with this machine.
