Well, battles are dominated by soviet meds and all of them have 100 mm guns - in a good position Strv will be pretty much immune to them. Including HEAT spam. Heavies will auto-pen Strv, though. But you can use standard "E-25 vs blind heavy" tactic and just kite them around the map...
Followed Gaming Overmatch removal was postponed. Even if they bring it back in the next patch, that's still 3+ months ahead from now. I think tier 8 UDES would benefit from it more than tier 9 and 10. Those two already have 40 mm of armour so only 121+ mm guns can overmatch it. Tier 8 only has 20 mm of armour so now it gets penetrated by everything - even 75/76 mm guns on tier 6 tanks can overmatch it.
Some myths will never die. The Strv-103 was more than just some super ambush vehicle. It was a designed as a main battle tank, used as a main battle tank and was just as deadly on offense as it was on defense.
Back in the day all tanks had to stop to fire, so yes, back then it was almost as good as a turreted one. However Ill give you the thing about urban combat, it probably wouldnt be as good there as some turreted tanks of the era. But then again, rule #1 for tank warfare is pretty much stay the fuck away from cities.
All tanks struggle in urban situations but I'd rather be in the S-tank than a Leopard 1 because at least if infantry is sneaky and hits me with an RPG in the front or the side or the back I will survive. Furthermore in real life gun barrels don't pass through buildings and boulders and trees; a turreted tank sweeps its gun in a much larger arc
Artie the Swolest Man in the World still very bad in urban environments and cant be dug in like most other tanks. RPGs are only effective against t54/55 and that era of tanks.
sam, would you mind sharing the sources you built your opinion on? would like to have a good laugh. "cant be dug in" - thats what the dozer-blade is for. make a nice pile of dirt to hide behind it. no need to dig it in. T-54/55 era (Gen 1) - the leopard 1 (Gen 2) was a papertank, with it's focus on mobility and firepower, you can read that up. a RPG still can give you headache if it hits your rooftop, even on modern tanks. or just any tank without composite armor, which is everything older than the m1 abrams (Gen 3). and as you talk about RPGs in general, the FGM-148 is also kind of a Rocket Propelled Grenade and is quite effective against every tank without a hardkill system, due to it's top-attack mode.
S-tank was made for the forest in the north. A quite "short" body and gun. it can easy move around in thick forest. S-tank also did have several options like mine swiping equipment. In the late 90´s did also did try to make i remotely controlled but i think that time and the technology was to far apart. A great tank. It is quite funny that Sweden nowdays is not at war for like 200 years but we build the most deadly things.. Some of the best tank. Weapons. bombs. ship. aircraft and submarines.
True. 40mm Bofors flak gun, Saab Draken, Strv 103, Visby class corvettes, Gotland class subs, it's amazing how many innovative armament came from Sweden during last decades. Can't wait for the new surprise you have for us (armoured submersible helicopter?...). Respect
Indeed though the Bulldoser blade actually was mainly for armor. They also downplay how the creation of the S tank was largely for political reasons. Sweden was neutral and so buying tanks from either NATO or the Warsaw pact came with a lot of diplomatic implications and a lot of trouble. They were using Centurions at the time and so the S tank was also a political statement of Swedish neutrality since it was very heavily associated with Nato. The 105mm gun is not the famous British L7 that was used by most of NATO but is a Bofurs version. The Swedish did upgun their existing centurions to the L7 so they had it in their inventory. They just didn't use it on the S-tank again for political reasons. Unlike what they say in the video the S-tank used a different 105mm shell than the British L7. Though the gun could fire British L7 shells if it needed to.
Shame? At least, Strv was intimidating Soviets to think twice before invading Sweden and it wasn't a wise choice for Soviets to go nuclear during that time. Strv defended Swedes before going dirty, shedding blood and tears. Think of Afghanistan, Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Always surprises me when people say 'shame this tank never saw action'. Seeing action would mean that it had killed people in horrible ways. Being in a tank that is fired on by another tank is a very, very violent thing. If a shell properly penetrates it either throws molten metal all over the crew or throws pieces of shrapnel around inside at great speed. Tank warfare isn't like the early days where everybody jumps out and runs away. People lose limbs, have parts of their skin melted off or are literally cut to pieces. It is never 'a shame' that a tank has never had to do that to real living people. If a tank never sees action then it has done it's job better than if it ever did.
The tank has all the elements of a true Lowrider except the flashy paint job and gold plated wire boggies. This tank would have been a real shock in south LA gang wars.
It was a compromised design done so well that it negated most of its compromises and those that remained were not relevant to the Swedish theatre of operations and the single possible scenario, ie. defending against a massed Soviet armoured invasion.
To enable fire on the run they should have used a gyro stabilized sight. When the gunner presses the fire button it sends a signal to a gyro on the gun at which angle to fire as the hull bounces up and down. You don't tell the gun when to fire but what angle to fire at. This way you can fire on the move.
What he is saying is... I have my hull pointed at an enemy and I am driving straight towards them (unlikely but for the sake of examples) When the gun reaches a certain angle of elevation then the gun will fire at the perfect time to strike
That's the whole idea with this tank. And with all tanks. You always try to aim your front towards the enemy, as your tank is strongest in the front. But you can't fire just because the gun is at the correct elevation. It will move while the projectile moves through the barrel, and that will make it inaccurate. It's not that the strv 103 can't fire while it's moving. It can. It just can't hit anything smaller than a barn, and it should preferably be inside that barn then...
Plus locating the motor to the front makes the tank shorter than a tank with motor in reer. I know it from my experience with tank desighns. Minimal lenght to wich I got was 5,5m at lenght, 2,8m at wight and 2,25m at height. And it is a medium tank with 105mm gun, 4crew members and motor in front. It is my own desighn. Sorry when there are some gramar mistakes.
Next tank can you show the Swede BandKanon 155 I wanna know how they managed to think of having a 15 round autoloading spg capable of releasing that magazine under 1 minute :o
@@filipthunell8631 Yes it is. Do you know how Israelis made the Merkawa? They removed the tracks from a Strv 103, put it on top of a hull and... that was it.
Video states that the Strv-103 is the only tank capable of reversing at up to 50 km/h. The Japanese Type-10 can reverse at 70 km/h. Else its a nice video...informative and well made.
US Sherman tanks, and all US tanks subsequent, had stabilized guns, at least in the vertical plane. It was 70% accurate to within 1 meter, at 500 meters, while traversing moderately rough terrain.
I'm impressed.Bring the Swedes to Blitz!. And the Japanese heavies....And the French mediums......And the rest of the British, Russian, American, and German tech trees. And tell the devs to bring the Japanese tank destroyers. There are enough designs when you include blueprint tanks that didn't enter production, to create an additional line all the way to tier 10. I've checked it out myself. And give us an Italian tech tree. The Semovente tank destroyers would be a blast. That line could run to tier 10 as well.
I thought the new Japanese MBT was capable of going 60 kph both forward and backwards. The "S" tank isn't the only tank capable of traveling at high speeds backwards. Maybe it was at the time, but not exclusively anymore.
TBH, I don't know if it's just the MBT 10 that can do this. I haven't looked at the new-ish Armada, the most recent Leopard 2, M1 Abrams, or Challenger MBT's, but I do know that the MBT 10 is capable of traveling backwards at around the same speed as it can go forwards
One important factor of the design of the STRV103 was to kill as many Russian T72s as possible, therefore they chose an automatic loader and a loooong gun (Bofors) to strike before the enemy can. The gun with the ammo was brutal for its time!
Guys, you have such an amazing game, and yet I refuse to buy a t8 prem. The matchmaker +/-2 tier is just taking all the fun out of this game 1/3 of the time.
Apparently this thing autoloaded a 12 shot magazine and then spent about 30 seconds reloading. This excluded the 5 HE shells that were to be hand-loaded.
Its got a 25 shot magasin on one side and 20shot magasin on the otterside armorpeasing vs normal and 5 mor as manual loading from the inside total 50,,
"The Strv"? "Strv" is short for stridsvagn, which is tank in Swedish. In other words it is not unique for Stridsvagn/strv 103. Seems quite corny that you missed this.
Well you CAN fire on the move.. BUT.. you'll most likely miss the target.. or even shoot the ground 2 meters infront of you or right up into the sky :-P
It's built for the Swedish terrain, and there are lets say a very bumpy terrain to say the least. The Land isn't flat(Hills everywhere) at all and most of it is cowered by forest. This makes the S-Tank perfect with its low silloette it's almost invisible. To detect a S-Tank.. You'd have to sacrifies one tank to do so... and when you know where it was, well maybe it drew away into the woods. It's a defensive hit'n run kind of tank you could say. With a fire rate of 20 rounds a minute :-P
Why not just make Overmatch mechanics x4 instead of 3? Nothing except 183, Jg, or Arty will auto pen Tanks like IS3 IS4 can still be Roof overmatched by nearly anything
It’s WOT there is another video that compares them to Cheiftens and what not, and it did everything that was said it should do, the Strv was a master piece that defending Sweden from the Soviet Union from attacking
That's funny, the tanks in this video don't bounce around like a ping pong ball or climb vertical walls like in the game... hmmmmm, must the be that the video is wrong. Ya think?
they ran out of WW2 tanks, but why aren't you complaining about the T62A then? it was built in the 1960s. And the leopard 1 also around the 1960s, M48 Patton late 1950s till 1960s, the AMX 30B also 1960s. You Need to know what you complaining about my friend.
"due to the oblique angle of the armor, it was almost GUARANTEED to ricochet a shell with just 40 mm of armor" .... nah 3x caliber guaranteed overmatch is more realistic because childeren cried
It's actually Stridsvagn 103, which means that the gun is more then 100 mm in caliber, and it's the third tank with such a gun in the Swedish arsenal. Strv 101, 102 and 104 are different versions of the Centurion.
That was cancelled. But it was a project, intended to develop a tank for year 2000 and beyond. Development projects aren't numbered according to that rule. It would pehaps have become the Strv 121, had it ever been completed.
the Swedes went from tank newbies, to armored legends. Swedish practicality and pragmatism is always spot on for exactly what they need.
@@alanwatts8239 Hydraulic suspension. Don't ever offend me again.
@@_MrBread Yes. Yes we do.

Some of the best tank. Weapons. bombs. ship. aircraft and submarines.
The short track is due to the requirement to aim the gun by turning the whole vehicle.
Martin Lund Sweden looking like idiots in ww2 caused this. They learned a statement in war is useless without guns.

Legendary tank. Swedish engineers are some of the most talented when it comes to weapons and tanks.
A really brilliant and unique design of a tank, it's funny how it poops out the shell casings.
It's a shame this tank never saw a battle. Engineered so well to only make it to a museum.
Shame? At least, Strv was intimidating Soviets to think twice before invading Sweden and it wasn't a wise choice for Soviets to go nuclear during that time. Strv defended Swedes before going dirty, shedding blood and tears.
Think of Afghanistan, Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Its job was to prevent Sweden from getting into a war. It did very well Id say.

"The turret is an important tank moduel"

Ut's a Turret on wheels/bands.
Would be interesting in seeing the game version with actual autoloader for grins and giggles
...But it does have an actual autoloader. it just has a 50 round autoloader.
A baby of Waffentrager e100 and E25.
Indeed, The Strv 103 in the game would be like the IS-3A.
spinax22 haha the total reload would be a bear . Not so much an autoloader as the three second reload :)
It was a compromised design done so well that it negated most of its compromises and those that remained were not relevant to the Swedish theatre of operations and the single possible scenario, ie. defending against a massed Soviet armoured invasion.
This should be on the National Geographic Channel anyone agree?
***** I'm sorry I don't watch NGC too often.
only if they are going to pimp the STRV or sell it on auction , then it should be on NGC or discovery
Big respect for Strv-103

Peter Huang Did you even watch the video? The gun can't move. Not in any way, you have to move the hull to aim.
What he is saying is... I have my hull pointed at an enemy and I am driving straight towards them (unlikely but for the sake of examples) When the gun reaches a certain angle of elevation then the gun will fire at the perfect time to strike
Blaze Boyfire This would be extremely inefficient in this tank. The hull would have to be pointed at the enemy tank, not allowing for maneuvers.

Suddenly you realize, where Dice got their idea for the hovertank in BF4 from. Just imagine this tank without tracks.
Even the design of the Hover tank is similar to the Strv-103
This is some impressive stuff...

No.
Of course. Only the Swedes would do this.

or even shoot the ground 2 meters infront of you or right up into the sky :-P
Well if I use the mechanism I will be dead before I get into firing position but I have seen some nice bounces with that angle

It’s WOT there is another video that compares them to Cheiftens and what not, and it did everything that was said it should do, the Strv was a master piece that defending Sweden from the Soviet Union from attacking
The archer goes faster in reverse
Gabriel Vanasse lol
Gabriel Vanasse lol isn't it technically forward though, because of the engine layout
the archer "according to the wiki" does 32 km/t maximum while the 103 does 60 km/t forward and reverse
Princeofmellon kilometers per ton?
Kim Cross spellin error. per hour was what i meant
Stug's didn't have turrets. Didn't seem to be problem.
Germans and Russians also proved that it can though...
That's funny, the tanks in this video don't bounce around like a ping pong ball or climb vertical walls like in the game... hmmmmm, must the be that the video is wrong. Ya think?
Behold
A doorstop with wheels and a gun
putting a 1960s tank in the game. ffs WG
they ran out of WW2 tanks, but why aren't you complaining about the T62A then? it was built in the 1960s. And the leopard 1 also around the 1960s, M48 Patton late 1950s till 1960s, the AMX 30B also 1960s. You Need to know what you complaining about my friend.
TheOneWhoShallNotBeNamed
yea i was aware of those tanks. i couldn't be bothered naming them all
They have nerfed this tank, because IRL it had a 50 ammo auto loader, with 3 shot/sec.
3/4 of T9 and T10 are made in late 50's until mid 60's
So need this in blitz
putting the engine at the front isn't an original swede idea
I have destroyd a prins Eugen (german battleship) with the strv 103-0
"due to the oblique angle of the armor, it was almost GUARANTEED to ricochet a shell with just 40 mm of armor" .... nah 3x caliber guaranteed overmatch is more realistic because childeren cried
Star-Lord exactly, the type of rounds used by tanks in world of tanks should be bouncing
I'll get one of this in nearby IKEA
already try in test server hard to play with
I want an M- 50 Ontos.
is it strv 3 a nickname??
nope. strv3 Is an abbreviation of stridsvagn3. Stridsvagn in Swedish means tank.
It's actually Stridsvagn 103, which means that the gun is more then 100 mm in caliber, and it's the third tank with such a gun in the Swedish arsenal. Strv 101, 102 and 104 are different versions of the Centurion.
@@apersson850 what about strv 2000?
That was cancelled. But it was a project, intended to develop a tank for year 2000 and beyond. Development projects aren't numbered according to that rule. It would pehaps have become the Strv 121, had it ever been completed.
M60 2000?
