Tank chassis is probably best used as a tank, then maybe a tank destoryer or AA gun/missile carriage.
Yeah it only has space for 5 passengers, nothing particularly impressive. I don't know how the Russians do things at team level but I don't like the idea of having to break up squads to transport them when they're on the battlefield.
