Swedish Tanks That Need Adding to War Thunder - Part 1 - video Dailymotion

Toreno

With 75 vehicles, the Swedish Tank Tech Tree is one of the smallest in War Thunder, beating only Israel and Italy. However, this used to be a much worse situation, with Sweden’s tech tree until recently only numbering around 57 Swedish tanks.  However in the end this was only rectified by the addition of Finland as a subtree, diluting the amount of Swedish tanks present in the Swedish Tank Tech Tree and perhaps suggesting Gaijin was running out of Swedish tanks to add.  However this is not the case and their are still many Swedish tanks that could be added to War Thunder. So join me as we take a look at these vehicles, their history, stats and how I think they will work in War Thunder!

00:00With only 75 vehicles, the Swedish Tank Tech

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined3

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedby the addition of Finland as a subtree.

00:23But despite the large increase in available

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined7

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedgrimdarkness of the 41st year of the 20th century,

00:49Europe only knew war and as such Sweden decided

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined12

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedand then of course we come to the the Strv m/40k.

01:19The m/40k was very similar to the

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined16

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedwere very similar to each other,

01:38but there are some noticeable differences

undefined:undefined19

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedpoints so that 30mm applique armour plates could

01:57be installed, with the idea being the tanks could

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined23

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefineddisregarded and the frontal hull is produced

02:20as a single 50mm armour plate. In real life

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined27

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedto the frontal armour the side armour is slightly

02:43increased from 13mm to around 18mm, so at least

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined31

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedgreatly affected the max speed,

03:07which should remain around 28mph or 45kmh, which

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined35

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedto have any major effects in the game,

03:38but of course it is something to bear in mind.

03:41Despite all the other changes the

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined40

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedthe 2 x m/39 7.62mm coaxial machine guns.

04:07When added to War Thunder, I would suggest

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined44

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedhave the same battle rating as the 40L at 2.0,

04:30because as I’ve said before they are very similar

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined48

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedlarger it could in theory be easier to spot,

04:50though again I don’t think this is really going

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined52

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedNow for the

05:07next tank I wasn’t really sure whether to

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined56

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedin question is the Strv m/21-29, which was

05:29originally a German tank that was adopted and

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined60

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedthese were not finished by the end of World War I

05:56and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles prohibited

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined64

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedunassembled tanks, as they subsequently brought

06:17enough parts to construct 10 tanks, which were

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined68

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedtheir redesignation as the Strv m/21-29.

06:50Unfortunately, there are also virtually

06:53no pictures of the tank with

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined74

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedused on FCM 36, but the m/21-29’s in service

07:17used a different 37mmgun. Information

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined78

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedI’ve been unable to confirm which exact type.

07:42This has also understandably meant that

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined82

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedguns of this type and would make it somewhat

08:03competitive in the lower tiers, though like

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined86

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedof rivets and bolts, which as many of you know

08:26does cause additional issues from spalling

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined90

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefineddetermine, as while the original crew was 2,

08:53with a driver and commander, in Swedish

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined95

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedin the hull and the commander in the turret.

09:12If added to War Thunder under the current

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined99

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedinterwar or World War I era tanks at below 1.0,

09:37for example the Strv m/21-29 could be a 0.3

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined103

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefineddecent tank, especially against other interwar or

10:02World War 1 era tanks and would even potentially

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined107

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedWar Thunder in this fashion.

10:20Lastly, we have the L-180 or Pbil m/41 in Swedish

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined111

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedsome of the variants that those nations used.

10:45Ironically despite being produced in Sweden

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined115

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedthird of the purchase price was paid up front.

11:09However, with the outbreak of war and AB Landsverk

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined119

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedalready paid balance at the end of the war. Once

11:32in Swedish service they were put into service

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined123

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedto this it also had 2 x 8mm Ksp m/36 machine guns,

12:021 in a coaxial position and 1 mounted at

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined127

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedto be pretty quick on flat terrain,

12:21having a top speed of 50mph or 80kmh, making this

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined131

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedin the turret, making this a well crewed vehicle

12:46able to sustain some casualties without causing

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined135

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedreally an obvious spot it could go in.

13:09Perhaps it could go somewhere

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined139

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedfrom its fast-firing autocannon before quickly

13:32escaping to a new position where it can try

undefined:undefined00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880

undefined:undefined143

undefined:undefined

undefined:undefinedthere are any other Swedish vehicles you

13:51would like me to cover. I’ll be looking
