The Primo Victoria is a Swedish tier 8 premium medium tank.
About 240 Centurion Mk. III and Mk. V tanks were purchased for the needs of the Swedish Armed Forces. The vehicles were designated Strv 81, underwent multiple modernizations and remained in service until the early 2000s. In August 2017, one vehicle was presented to the Swedish band Sabaton and was brutally customized—the British steel was reforged to pure Swedish metal, and thus it became the true headbanger tank.
This tank is a part of collaboration of Wargaming and famous Swedish rock metal band "Sabaton" announced at GamesCom 2017. It features members of Sabaton band as tank crews and came with energetic crew voice and metal music.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Accurate gun
- High penetration and shell speed (uses APCR as regular ammunition)
- High engine power and fairly good mobility
- Side skirts provide some protection from HEAT shell
- Good turret armor, can go hull-down well
- Has unique crew sounds and metal music from Sabaton members!
Cons:
- Large size, poor hull armor and low camouflage
- Ammo rack is rather fragile and can be damaged from the front
- Inadequate turret hull rotation
- Crew slots is not matched with any Swedish tanks, not suitable for crew training
- Very high repair bill for a Tier 8 premium tank, and high shell cost per damage done
- High-tier game meta has generally shifted in favor of high-alpha damage guns, which makes this tank more difficult to excel in
Performance
This tank is basically a fully upgraded Centurion Mk. I. As such it is an effective ridgeline sniper and support tank, thanks to its turret armor, gun depression and rapid firing, accurate gun. However, it's lack of DPM and mediocre maneuverability, make it a poor brawler.

Suggested Equipment
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
The Sabaton crew that comes with this vehicle gives it its own flavor. For this reason, and also because every other Swedish medium has only 3 or 4 crew, most players are likely to play the Primo Victoria with its own, dedicated crew. The crew built should focus on the strengths of the tank: rapid, accurate fire. As such, any skills that improve view-range and accuracy should be chosen, in addition to 6th sense and safe stowage. Brothers-In-Arms (stylized as "Band of Brothers") comes as a free perk with the crew.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The Strv 81 (Or Centurion Mk.V) had only four crew members, But the Primo Victoria (which is a stylized version of the Strv 81) has five crew slots to fit all members of the Sabaton band.
