it is really forgiving to use since you can always bail out with retreat.
The crew dies when the enemy so much as gives them a filthy look, I'd hardly say they are forgiving. Crew survivability is absolutely trash and it can/will lose a frontal 1v1 engagement to most medium tanks, and the range, penetration and accuracy are lacking. The other traits such as stealth and retreating mitigate these drawbacks only to some extend. In the end it's a decent high risk high reward unit that is usable, but it is not good. I'd much rather have a regular 60 range good accuracy/pen PaK 40 than this thing.
