The Swedish SAV 20.12.48 is seen as one of the most blatantly overpowered premium tanks in War Thunder. It can launch one extremely potent APHE round every 1.2 seconds, so what if we tried to balance it by only using HE?

Hits engine deck of T34: "engine compartment destroyed, crew compartment intact". Hits back corner of Sherman: "all compartments destroyed!".

It genuinely pains me that some people say it's a "skill issue" if you think that this thing is op. And I can't tell if they're being trolls or actually think that. Like yea the shell doesn't have a ton of pen, but neither does the Sherman and yet that thing still wrecks with the great cannon at that BR (not even taking the stabilizer into account), combine that with a lower BR, where you face things that aren't armored and the fact it's a casemate and has a low profile allows it to hide in places where the building sized Sherman can't even get into.

Heya spook! I think an interesting video would be on the TKX(p), the reason I say this, is because the TKX(p) is effectively the same as the TKX, but without some of the additional rolled armor (and just Dm33). What I enjoy to do in the TKX(p) is considering it has pneumatic suspension, with your dozer you can make some pretty fun hull down positions.

The main reason the SAV looks so different to other Swedish vehicles is that while most Swedish tanks were designed by Landsverk, the SAV prototype was entirely made by Bofors, and it was built around the autoloading cannon (which comes from a ship design). Hence the unusual appearance.

From what I can tell there are two factors for HE penetration. HE filler determined the „blast“ penetration while shell weight influences how the penetration reduction rate at range. A light round can have 30mm of pen but might struggle to penetrate adjacent plates to the impact which are only 10-15mm.
