WOT - STRV 103B - 9 KILLS 8.1K DAMAGE ACE TANKER - World Of Tanks

Thanks for replay Flicka [CELL], good game

The Strv 103B is a Swedish tier 10 tank destroyer.

Developed from 1969 through 1971 as a modernization of the Strv 103. Unlike the previous Strv 103A version, the Strv 103B was equipped with a more powerful gas-turbine engine, laser rangefinder, and infrared devices. The vehicle also accommodated the mounting of amphibious add-on equipment. In 1970, 220 vehicles went into service. At the same time, the vehicles of the previous modification were converted to the Strv 103B, which resulted in a total of 290 vehicles by 1971.

The Stridsvagn 103B is the final milestone of Swedish Tank Destroyer line as the real "Born-to-be" tank hunter. Although its characteristics are fairly similar to Strv 103-0, It has the third highest DPM in the game thanks to its powerful gun that is vastly improved from its predecessor. It can knock out even the Maus in one or two minutes.

If players can handle its hydraulic suspension controls and know who, when, and where to snipe, It will reward you nicely.

The Strv 103B marks the end of its Swedish tank destroyer line.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Extremely powerful and devastating firepower: 3rd highest DPM (after the Tortoise and the Badger), best accuracy, no aim time and 2nd best regular round penetration in the game (After the FV215b (183) and FV4005)!

- High mobility in travel mode; low terrain resistances.

- Tied with its predecessor, it has low chance of catching fire (10%), although this is quite irrelevant due to fuel tanks getting damaged from the front.

- Upper front plate is 50mm thick in most places and thus much harder to penetrate than earlier Swedish tanks. Also comes with front grills that can protect frontal HEAT shots.

- Very high camouflage values, among the best in the game (can reach to more than 60%).

- Longest radio signal range in the game at 850 meters.

- APCR rounds have very high shell velocity, that allow the tank to hit fast-moving targets easier. Also, the standard APCR round does not lose too much penetration value when firing from long distance.

Cons:
- Very low HP; tied with Grille 15, Bat Chat 25t and TVP T50 / 51 for having lowest non-SPG HP at tier 10.

- Since the armor is flat, the tank is very vulnerable against SPGs, especially in Siege mode.

- Has to wait a little to switch in and out from Siege mode, greatly limiting its versatility.

- No gun traverse or depression outside of siege; top speed limited to 10/10 kph in Siege mode, very vulnerable in close range combat.

- Lowest alpha damage of all tier 10 TDs, but it makes up for it with its astounding ROF.

- High ammo cost compared to fast firing rate.

- APCR rounds also serve as a drawback: their normalization angle is smaller than normal AP round (2 degrees compared to AP's 5 degrees, but is still better than HEAT and HE with no normalization at all), and will have trouble punching through well-angled enemies. Premium round penetration is not extraordinary at 350mm.
