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

Cons:
- Like its predecessor, It has the Lowest HP pools Non-SPGs vehicles in its same tier tied with French Foch 155 and Batchat-25T , And Germans Grille 15 (1800), And its thin armor were very vulnerable against High caliber guns and SPGs, Especially in Siege mode
- Mobility in Siege Mode is terrible, And makes you very vulnerable in close range combat
- Like its predecessor, Its fixed gun is great trouble; You can only move your gun up to shoot enemy in higher place, If you want to shot another target that didn't located in your range or moving targets, You must turn the vehicle and must aiming all over again.

Performance
The Strv 103B is a great sniper and support tank as its low profile gives it good camo values. Best tactic is to search for a good position, activate siege mode and wait for the enemy. If he appears use your accurate gun and perfect penetration to chip away enemy hitpoints. Alpha is low but reload time is only about 6 sec. If you get spotted, change to travel mode which will take 1,3 seconds and then retreat backwards, your high reverse speed is quite helpfull. Your extremly angled roof can bounce some shots but it is better not to rely on this. Use your great mobilty in travel mode and search for a new position.
Another good tactic is to use the terrain. Look for hill edges, drive in siege mode over the the edge, fire and retreat in siege mode backwards under the edge. Your canon is almost at the top of the tank so you will expose only a small part of the angled roof. Many enemy shots will pass over you or bounce on the roof.
As perfect as this tank is as a long range sniper, as terrible it is in a direct duel. If a light or medium tank comes close to you your chance to survive is very low. Turning speed and mobilty in siege mode is terrible and in travel mode you can´t aim your gun. This can lead also to trouble at the end of the battle when it is something like 3 against 3. You can´t attack the enemy effectivly as you will need 2 sec. to change to siege mode. This will only work if you can surprise someone from behind. Best way is to use your mobilty, act as scout and let your team mates finish the last enemys. As a last resort you can try to fire in travel mode at close enemys but the chance to miss it quite high.
Due to its inability to fight on close range, stay behind and snipe. If you have the feeling that your flank gets lost, retreat early and search for a new position. Some of your team mates will call you "camper" but this is the way to play this tank.
