Principally it was highly effective, it had a low silhouette, a hard hitting 75mm ATG with a secondary MG on the top. To operate the machine gun it ws not necessary to climb up and to risk getting shot, it was operated from the inside. The armor was not the best, though it relied there moreon being pretty low and therefor hard to hit.
Overall, not a bad tankkiller.
