The Swedish tech tree in War Thunder is host to a plethora of very strange vehicles, with the best example being the Strv 103 tanks. Also known as the S-Tank, it has no turret and heavily angled armor. It isn't very meta, but I managed to get a nuke with it anyway.

The strv 103 is a very funny tank. But the unfortunate thing about it in warthunder is that if your engine gets shot out, you cant move. Unlike in real life, you could use the two engines separately, which is unfortunate.

The bars were actually a form of APFSDS defense. Even at the speeds the darts are moving, any disruption to their flight-path will cause the round to tumble a little when they hit the main armor, potentially greatly reducing the penetration of any dart that hits a bar.

APDS, not APFSDS. Don't mixt the two. They are very, very different and it's an important distinction to make. The armour was strictly designed to defuse HEAT, but they did find in testing that it could shatter or disrupt the trajectory of APDS when it impacted the bars as a bonus.

@@Ragedaonenlonely Ok what is the positive of not having a turret? Because it isnt ability to aim better when travelling through difficult train with a lot of obstacles. No you can only aim at your enemy then you can only go backwards or forwards. Which is a big minus in manuvrability while engaging. The low profile lets you hide way more easily than in comparison to other tanks who tower over you. It is better for entrenching positions. If you actually look at the video you will see what it is good at. A wall where other tanks turret would peak up it is invisible. You want to take a position and hold it. But most of all I'm gonna trust the actual Swedes I've talked with.

@Ragedaonenlonely 2 күн бұрын

@@markusburstrom3485 Positive of not having a turret? Many, many things. Smaller profile. Less weight. Ability to slope the armour heavily. Easy use of an auto-loader (it doesn't have to account for the rotation of the turret or be limited by the available storage space of ammuntion), less crew because of the aforementioned turret, the ability to have a very stable mounting solution for the main gun, assisting accuracy and allowing for an increase in barrel length. If you actually READ about it you'll learn that the whole inspiration for its design came from documentation showing that most shells statistically hit the turrets of tanks and by deleting that you can make a more survivable vehicle. It's effective in a defensive position, but it's no less effective on the offense either where a smaller profile is nevertheless still very, very useful and it was not supposed to operate any more defensively than the Centurions. It design allows it to take advantage of Swedish terrain effectively, but that doesn't preclude it from doing other things too. All Swedish tanks were designed with that in mind, even the turreted ones. Hence the high levels of gun depression almost across the board.

6:20 Technically correct but technically not. The STRV 103C was supposed to make use of the natural terrain and defensible positions to prevent breakthrough attacks. It's why it has hull aiming and the variable transmission, it's so it could lift itself up over berms to shoot at incoming armor. There's definitely a lot more complicated stuff that goes into its design than that, but it was never meant to function the same way as how we think the Abrams or T-90 tanks function. The Swedes prioritized a defensive front over an offensive one, which heavily influenced battle tactics, vehicle design, and even the way they constructed bunkers. The whole idea was to make Sweden a defensive fortress the likes of which no enemy would ever want to invade, and would cost the enemy terribly even if they did, with the hope being that their home forces could hold out long enough for NATO to reinforce them. Reminder, the STRV was designed at the height of the Cold War, with big bad Russia right on the doorstep. Like everything during that time period, it had a major influence on design mentality, and Sweden wanted to ensure its neutrality by force. Again! This is a very surface level dig into the entire situation, and I'm not an expert in any capacity, so I could absolutely have interpreted certain things incorrectly or misunderstood certain sources, but to the best of my knowledge, this is what I am aware of when it comes to the STRV 103's MBT designation.

@@foolishsparky It's still wrong though. Because the Centurions and 103's share the same doctrine. Ergo they weren't designed to operate as defensive vehicles, they were just designed to operate as tanks the same way the Centurions were. Neither were they designed to not go on the offensive. Sweden never intended to carry out offensive wars, only defensive ones, however even defensive wars still require you to go on the offense to retake lost territory. Ergo the idea that the 103's were designed as defensive vehicles isn't any more correct than saying the Centurions were. In the Swedish military they just operated like tanks, same as any other.

Another reason for the weird design was the gun, sweden wanted rapid fire autoloaders but at the time that caused problems with loading guns while elevated so their solution was to either use an oscillating turret like the French which was the emil project, (not to be confused with the Sturer emil) or simply not use a turret and have hull aim, which became the strv 103 in order to move the entire loader with the cannon.

I bound the hull aim button to left control, I find it helps a bit. I also find that the hull aim tends to under-elevate by a bit, so I set my range to 300m the instant I spawn in. With those two down, I find I can be as nimble and responsive as any other unstabilized MBT, while also having great armour and a 4s reload. Also, fun fact, the S-tank is the only tank in game that can survive on one crew, and the only tank that can traverse it's hull mid repair, which is SUPER useful if you get your barrel taken out.

I think br 8.7 just for the obscene fire rate but maybe 8.3 due to the dependence on heat warheads and total lack of laser rangefinder or stabiliser.

Spookston is so good he gets hit by a nuke and only takes wing damage

How about a full video covering the T 92? Fast, flat and hard hitting goblin tank, got moved to 7.0 some time ago but still is my personal favorite!

I will never be a decent War Thunder player but it's still a lot of fun to watch your content. Great stuff!

To be fair to that first CAS, there were three tanks there, it looks like he bombed long rather than targeting you

1:44 Well as somebody who sometimes take out a plane in Ground RB, I don't always try to pick the guy with most kills. Yes, if there is some annoying camper or somebody in some very strong tank, I go for him, but in general when I see a tank (or my teammates/squadmates mark something) I go for it, that's it, no big calculation just see target - kill target

You know the whole thing of shells being blocked by things they shouldn't. I remember playing a Sherman on Japan and the small bushes on the map started eating shots. Not the bamboo, the tiny fern bushes. Then Ive also had some fences just stop rounds too.
