I create this post because, I want to know how do you play in this vehicle? (tactics/tips)

Use the fire rate and the mobility in your favor, flank.
You have -10 degrees of gun depression. Use it. Also its commander view is VERY good coupled with “commander fire control”. You can peak over hills VERY easily with its gun depression coupled with using the commander sight+fire control to shoot at enemies. (You can use the rangefinder in commander sight+commander fire in Realistic too.)
Take 21 rounds of ammo. Take 26 if you are OFTEN running out, but you risk getting blown up much more easily as it starts filling the last ammo storage area with more than 21 rounds.
Use the DM33 rounds. You ‘can’ take some of the Falarick 105 missiles, they are pretty good as they are tandem charged. They work pretty well on enemies that have ERA like the T72 TURMS. All other ammo is useless compared to the DM33 or Falaricks.
If you are playing Realistic USE THERMAL SIGHTS, I would say pretty much all the time. It has gen 3 gunner and commander thermals, they are superb. I still use thermals in Arcade too, I prefer it, easier to see what you need to shoot. (RARELY I need to turn them off, pretty much only if a building or some other obstacle is in the way and I can’t make out what is blocking my shot.
Use your scout button OFTEN. You get a TON of extra Research and Silver Lions by scouting often. (And yes, you can scout in both Arcade and Realistic. If you do not know how to scout in Arcade, reply and I will explain.) You can scout with binoculars, gunner sight AND commander sights. So, using commander sights+thermals makes it very easy to scout while barely exposing your tank to enemy fire. (Binoculars do not get thermals, so unless you really need the extra hight to see, commander sights are my preference for scouting in Realistic.)
This vehicle is even better than when I used it to grind, it recieved an optics buff during Seek & Destroy, it used to be a fixed sight.
Anyway, it’s a very good LT at 10.0, regardless if you play it at 10.0 or 10.3 and bring the Strv 121.
Use your mobility and fast reload to kill enemies. You can reverse well and have good depression, it’s an effective sniper and can peek n shoot reliably. Avoid CQC because your turret can be .50 cal’d frontally.
