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.

The Ikv 103 is a Swedish tier 5 tank destroyer.

In 1956, production of a modernized variant of the Ikv 102 SPG, designated Ikv 103, was started. These vehicles were designed to provide fire support to infantry. A total of around 80 vehicles were manufactured and remained in service till the early 1980s.

The Ikv 103 leads to the Ikv 65 Alt II.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

- Excellent alpha -- best non-derp/non-HE damage from a Tier V tank destroyer, more than double the average (the Su-2-122 is higher but it's a derp)

- Great gun depression (also the best amongst Tier V TD's) and good elevation

- Excellent concealment and a small target

- Excellent acceleration and good top speed, including in reverse


Cons:

- Top gun can only fire two types of HEAT ammunition [Note: Guns table above is incorrect; the 10.5cm kan ikv 103 doesn't have a third type of round available]

- Even as HEAT, "Premium" rounds have lackluster penetration, six TD's in this tier have better pen with their standard ammo

- Poor shell velocity and accuracy, sniping not advised

- Good concealment somewhat negated by the top gun's mediocre accuracy

- Very thin armor and mediocre health pool

- Sluggish hull traverse, and can only reach its top speed when going downhill


Performance

Arguably one of the more interesting tank destroyers in the game. Armed with a very unique high-alpha HEAT-slinging gun, coupled with immensely high mobility and very poor armor, this tank destroyer stands apart from the crowd.

Not only does the Ikv 103 use howitzers exclusively, the guns themselves are atypical. Unlike normal howitzers the top gun doesn't have AP or HE shells available, only firing HEAT for both standard and premium/special rounds. While HEAT has the advantage of not losing any penetration over distance they can fail against spaced armor and have no normalization against sloped armor. Additionally HEAT has to pen to deal damage; the lack of any HE shells for its top gun, combined with mediocre special rounds, means that this vehicle can be almost completely ineffective against highly armored opponents. As such you should be careful about the shots you take in this tank destroyer, as a missed opportunity to kill an enemy will often result in dangerous return fire. Spaced and highly sloped armor can foil HEAT so shots should be focused on areas of flat armor without obstructions -- avoid targeting suspensions and gun mantlets.

Fortunately the Ikv 103 has the second-highest concealment values (stationary and on the move; not firing for both) of all Tier V tank destroyers; only the newer Semovente M41 is better. Despite its sloping its armor is exceedingly weak and will be over-matched by almost every tank you will meet. Unlike its predecessor the Ikv 103 is also quite mobile and has a healthy power-to-weight ratio. While its listed top speed of 60kph is somewhat optimistic as it will take a long period of acceleration even with a 100% driver to reach that on flat ground, it will still be able to move around at 45-50 kph on average, making it quite easy to reposition. It's track traverse is a bit slow though so make sure to not let any light or medium tanks to sneak up and flank you. Finally, like all Swedish tank destroyers the Ikv 103 has excellent gun depression, letting it poke over ridge lines, fire, and scoot back before taking any damage. and very good engine specific power and reverse speed helps here too. However because of its terrible shell velocity the Ikv 103 does not perform well as a long range sniper, it's much better suited for a player with a semi- or simply aggressive play style. Play it like a light/medium tank, use the speed, gun depression, and high alpha to your advantage, avoid situations where damage is exchanged with the enemy as much as possible, and try to camp as little as possible.

With a crew complement of Commander/Gunner/Driver/Loader the Ikv 103 has no perfect crew training premium to take advantage of -- the best you can do is put the Commander and Driver into one of the three Swedish premium TD's currently available.


Early Research

You can mount everything without the need of the upgraded suspension, then you can skip it (unless you want to mount equipment). Start researching the Ford 391 engine, since it needs a small amount of experience and it will give you a 25hp boost. The default 10.5cm gun is enough to kill/hit targets, so research the Ra 105 radio (you can unlock it if you buy the next tank, the Ikv 65 Alt II). Finally, research the 10.5cm Ikv 103 gun. You can research the upgraded suspension for increased mobility.

Historical Info

In 1956, along with the refit of the Infanterikanonvagn 72 to Infanterikanonvagn 102 (see previous part), it was decided to start the production of a second batch of Ikv’s with the upgrades considered for the Ikv 72 built in to the design. This vehicle would become known as the Infanterikanonvagn 103 and a total of 81 vehicles of this type were produced between 1956 and 1957, making it the most widely produced assault gun in the Swedish army at that point. Although externally similar to the earlier models, the Ikv 103 featured a number of changes, such as the addition of a roof, a change of the main armament from a 75mm to 105mm and the addition of a more powerful engine. The engine, used in the Ikv 103 was a 150hp 4-cylinder boxer engine, originally developed by Svenska Flygmotor AB for use in the Saab Safir training aircraft. The air for the new engine did not need to pass through the crew compartment (something appreciated by crews in winter) and this also gave the vehicle its distinctive “grills” on both sides of the engine compartment.
Ikv 103 rear, here the “grills” can clearly be seen.

Generally the vehicle was well liked by its crews, who enjoyed its great manoeuvrability and high top speed. After the Ikv 103, there would be an almost 10 year break before the development would start on the next Ikv project, but in the meantime, there were some interesting things going on with the Ikv 103. Sometime during the early 60′s, three Ikv 103 had their guns removed and were experimentally fitted with a new upgraded 6-cylinder engine called B61. The new engine almost doubled the horsepower of the original, going from 150hp to 230hp. This increased the mobility of the vehicle considerably and gave it a power to weight ratio of over 25hp/t. However, it was found out that the new engine was insufficiently cooled and therefore the project was cancelled and the vehicles were restored to their original condition.

One of the three Ikv 103 refitted with the experimental engine

In addition to these tests, attempts were made to sell the Ikv 103 design to both Switzerland and India with a new 199hp Ford engine. There were even plans for a troop carrier version for India, but nothing ever came of it. That’s not the end of it however, since there seems to have been an attempt to sell an unarmed variant of the vehicle as a reconnaissance version.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

* Infanterikanonvagn 103 was never intended for anti-armour purposes, but strictly for providing the Swedish infantry with a shrapnel-protected field gun to take out enemy machine gun nests and the like with High Explosive shells. It was eventually given a supplementary HEAT-round for self-defence situations.
  • The real life gun depression of the Ikv 103 was 16 degrees, but in game it is only 12 degrees.
  • The planned B61 engine had 230 HP but is currently unavailable. The top Ford 391 engine, intended for export to India and Switzerland, should have had 199 hp.
