The Swedish Strv m/42 DT or Delat Torn is probably my all-time favorite medium tank in War Thunder. With potent APHE rounds and a rapid 3.0s reload rate, it makes for the perfect ambush vehicle. It is also fairly versatile, though the armor is not good at all. Gaijin did nerf its replenishment since the last update, however.

Probably the reason your APHE is so inconsistent is because a while back Gaijin did an experiment to make APHE shells more accurate (i.e, exploding in a cone instead of a sphere), and some swedish APHE shells were the test subjects of this, but it never went anywhere, however those shells do still have the cone effect

@ZETH_27 Жыл бұрын

A very handy feature on the DT is that the loader can just directly shove shells into the breech if your first stage runs out. It takes about 7 seconds but it means you don't have to wait for the autoloader to restock to *then* load the gun. Especially in situations where you need to fire more than 4 shells. SO you don't need to fear that you'll be caught unable to reload just because your first-stage is empty.

@burningsinner1132 Жыл бұрын

Which is kinda funny in itself. MOST tank's autoloaders actually allow manual load. In fact, some tanks got special ammo which they can't use with autoloaders, needing to switch to manual. Same with first stage racks in non-autoloaders. And then we have some tanks which actually can't access certain racks in combat (Hilariously, T-90M is one of them, sporting extra ammo bin at the back of the turret without actual access to it. The point was to ditch the 23th-42nd round shelves which were the ACTUAL reason why T-series had less than ideal burn rate).

You should check out the pvkv m/43 (1946) TD. It's such a hidden gem, it has the frontal armor of a KV-1, 20 degrees of depression accompanied by a WIDE horizontal arc, GREAT APHE round and best of all it has the exact same optics as a leopard 1 (stupidly good).

@federationprime Жыл бұрын

This alongside the Pvkv 2 is hilariously fun. Strv m/42 DT plays very well in close quarters since you can easily bait people with your low reload time, and the Pvkv 2 is excellent for long distance shots.
