Its great view range and good agility make it an excellent scout, both active and passive. This should only be attempted on isolated tanks, however. Because of its great turning and top speed it can also circle tanks with low agility, leaving them entirely defenseless. Special attention should be given to one-shot targets, as the T71 can kill several weak tanks very quickly given the chance.

As with the French tanks, the best combat strategy is to flank a distracted enemy and unload as many of your rounds into their weak areas as you can without taking damage, then withdrawing to repeat on other targets of opportunity. If forced into a shootout, the HEAT rounds with 210mm penetration comes more than handy: these are capable of cutting through a Ferdinand, or a Type 59 frontally, but will also lead to an astounding ammunition bill post battle. 145 penetration is acceptable given the light tank chassis, which encourages flank and rear shots. The gun can be considered outstanding for its tier, with 900 potential burst damage over 10 seconds, compared to other autoloader lights around its tier that does ~700 per drum. It has good dynamics, but care should be taken to avoid being hit in the hull, as the engine is especially weak when stock and is destroyed easily. The pacing between shots is 2 seconds on both guns in a 6-round revolver magazine. In-game, it possesses similar properties to the French AMX series of light tanks except the camo which is lower (14/14 vs 18/18). Originally somewhat forgotten because of the popularity of the M41 Walker Bulldog (which was also tier 7 at the time), the T71 has seen an increase in popularity since the introduction of the tier 9 and 10 light tanks. Different crew layout compared to its predecessor T21 and successor T69.Poor camouflage values for a light tank, comparable to mediums.Decent gun depression and great elevation for an oscillating turret.

APCR as standard ammunition, good penetration and shell velocity.

6-round clip with high burst damage and decent magazine reload.
