This vehicle combines the strengths of Swedish and French autoloading heavy tanks. It offers an excellent 12 degrees of gun depression, reliable—though not invulnerable—turret armor, and a gun with high 440 HP damage per shot supported by a versatile choice of AP, APCR, and HE shells.
Its penetration values are average, while its mobility is respectable, with a top forward speed of 40 km/h and a reverse speed of 13 km/h; however, it still falls short of the outstanding performance of French heavy tanks. Compared to its Swedish counterparts, the autoloader is more comfortable to use, although the gun handling remains a weakness, with average stabilization, accuracy (0.38), and aiming time (2.8 seconds).
