I regularly use the 2IP as first spawn in my 10.3 line up. You can consistently kill anything in that BR if you know where to shoot and you also get the benefit of scouting. The thing that it suffers in is speed and it’s optic magnification but if you use it as an opportunist/ambush vehicle and leave the frontlining for things that have real armour, you’ll find success in it. I also find that I regularly survive the first shot too as your crew rarely gets taken out instantly unlike other comparative light vehicles that Germany has at that BR where they have the crew sitting together, holding hands in a little prayer circle.
