Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

AnnoS10_Strv_103_0_Series.png

3600000

The Strv 103-0 is a Swedish tier 9 tank destroyer.

A contract for the production of a turretless vehicle was concluded with the Bofors company in 1960. A total of 10 prototypes of the "zero series" were produced. The vehicles differed from the mass-produced Strv 103 in weaker armor and engine, as well as in the commander's cupola. In 1964, the vehicles were used as a basis for the Strv 103A production.

The Strv 103-0 is a vast improvement over the UDES 03. It offers much more reliable protection than its predecessor. Its stock gun is carried over from the UDES 03, and it also shares its top gun with its brother; the Strv 103B. Both guns provide fantastic penetration and alpha, with great rate of fire.

Although it is much easier to maneuver, it still suffers from the downside of a hydraulic suspension. It also has horrible gun handling in travel mode and horrible mobility in siege mode.

If played correctly, the Strv 103-0 is an impressive tank hunter that will unleash death upon its enemies. It prepares you for an even more impressive tank hunter: Strv 103B.

The Strv 103-0 leads to the Strv 103B.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

- Highest penetration of all tier 9 tanks with the top gun (308).

- It is the only Tier 9 tank destroyer which uses APCR as default ammunition.

- Good mobility and traverse speed, especially in rough terrain.

- Has 40mm of armor, which provides great protection in siege mode versus all guns with calibre 120mm or below (as long as they are shooting AP or APCR)

- Lowest chance of catching fire in the game (only 10%!).

- High reverse speed (45 km/h). It is almost the same as the forward speed (50 km/h). In combination with great sloped armour, you can reverse escape which makes you less vulnerable to enemy fire.


Cons:

- Less speed than UDES, both forward and reverse (50/45 km/h).

- Low HP pool (1500).

- Although its mobility in Siege Mode is better than its predecessor, it's still terrible. It makes you very vulnerable in close range combat.

- Despite having high nominal penetration, your shots will bounce often when shooting even slightly angled armor at this tier, due to APCR rounds having lower normalization that AP.

- Very long aim time in travel mode on both guns, as well as no horizontal gun movement, which forces you to move to shoot new targets, and greatly lose accuracy while doing so.

- Expensive repair cost makes it easy to lose money.

- Guns with calibre above 120mm (many Russian/Chinese/Japanese vehicles) will overmatch your armor easily.

- Juicy target for SPGs, especially in siege mode.

- HEAT ammo, even from lower calibre guns, can penetrate you due to higher autobounce threshold required compared to AP or APCR.


Performance

More or less an uptiered Strv S1. It is a sniper in every sense of the word. The vastly improved armor over the UDES 03 let it take more hits (120mm cannons or lower will not overmatch) and it has higher penetration/DPM/handling. Like the other "S-Tanks" it is horrible at close range, where its weakspots are easy to hit and it is easily flanked.

In return, it loses much of the mobility of the UDES (50/45 speed and much lower hp/t vs. 70/50 and ~25 hp/t) as well as ironically having worse fully aimed dispersion than the UDES 03 in both modes.

If one has it, the Strv S1 is usually better to use due to the vastly improved credit making/crew training as well as very similar effectiveness in combat.


Early Research

You barely need any research for the Strv 103-0. The stock gun already has the best-in-tier penetration, good ROF and damage. Upgrading from L/51 to L/62 adds a buff in penetration (288 -> 308) and a minor buff to the shell velocity (1450 m/s -> 1500 m/s). But the stock tracks can't even take the weight of all 3 equipments. Currently it is best to use something like Rammer, Turbocharger and Binocs or rammer/vents/binocs.

You have to research the tracks first, then research the gun before the engine, considering the 288 penetration could be a bit underwhelming against tier 10 superheavies such as Maus or E-100. Also, the tank is already quite mobile and it is only really effective in siege mode (which is mostly stationary), so you won't miss having a less powerful engine while you penetrate most of your shots in siege mode.

Background

In the mid-1950s, the Kungliga Arméförvaltningens Tygavdelning put out a contract tender for next generation tank design to replace their Centurions. A consortium of Landsverk, Volvo and Bofors responded with a suggestion to revive an earlier domestic heavy tank design, known under the codename KRV, fitted with a 155 mm smoothbore gun in an oscillating turret. However, this was deemed too expensive in comparison to the alternatives: A(ngloamerican), which was to purchase a 50-ton tank with high protection and mediocre mobility from either U.K. or U.S.A. Alternative T(ysk-fransk /German-French) was a 30-ton tank with low protection and good mobility. Then, in 1956, Sven Berge of the Swedish Arms Administration proposed Alternativ S, a domestic alternative (S standing for Swedish).

Development

In preparation for the defence decision of 1958 (Försvarsbeslut 1958 (FB58)) in the Swedish parliament (Riksdagen), the procurement set Alternativ S against the two foreign alternatives Alternativ A and Alternativ T. While the domestic alternative was going to be more expensive, the defence committee report recommended "S" when weighing in the symbolic value of a domestic tank for a neutral country as well as the spin-off effects on Swedish industrial competence. Riksdagen made the formal decision regarding FB58 on 4 February 1958, and a follow-on contract called for two production prototypes, which were completed in 1961. By this point, the army was so satisfied with the design that an initial pre-production order for 10 was placed in 1960. With minor changes, the Alternativ S was adopted as the Stridsvagn 103 ("103" from being the third tank with a 10 cm calibre gun accepted into Swedish service).

The Stridsvagn 103 (strv 103), also known as the S-Tank, was a Swedish post-war main battle tank. It was known for its unconventional design: it was turretless with a fixed gun traversed by engaging the tracks and elevated by adjusting the hull suspension. While turretless armoured fighting vehicles are usually classified as assault guns or tank destroyers, despite its unique gun laying process the Strv 103 is considered a tank because its designated combat role matched those of other tanks within contemporary Swedish doctrine. It is the only tank of any kind since World War II to dispense with a turret.

In 1963, a batch of pre-production vehicles was built. It was called the 0-series and would more closely resemble the planned production version. These were used for series of tests of everything – from different engine options to trials with built-in dozer blades and different types of armament. Pherhaps most important was that they were used for tests, involving collaboration with infantry and other units. As a part of these tests, the armament was changed from the British L7 gun to a longer version of it, which offered higher muzzle velocity and penetration. In addition, the commander’s cupola was developed into one of the best designs in the world, which has proven itself since by outperforming everything from the Leopard 1 and Centurion to the Chieftain and in one case, even the Leopard 2 in various tests around the world.

The only major difference between the pre-production models and the final production version was the older design of commander’s cupola and the lack of ribbed armor. As a part of the testing of the 0-series, there was a research into how to improve the frontal armor. Originally the armor was 40mm thick, but tests were being made with 50mm plates as well as a new type of “ribbed” armor.

It was found that this “ribbed” armor, consisting of 40mm tall and 30mm wide metal bars welded onto a 40mm plate, was much less prone to deforming and as a bonus, these ribs added a sort of spaced armor effect, where a round was much less likely to penetrate the main armor plate. On the production version, these plates were used for the front of the vehicle to cover the engine compartment.
