The Ikv 65 Alt II is a Swedish tier 6 tank destroyer.
In the mid-1960s, the Swedish Ministry of Defense laid out requirements for a new light tank. The lightly armored vehicle should combine high speed and maneuverability with powerful armament that would be sufficient to oppose modern tanks and provide fire support to the infantry. Landsverk developed several projects with both a rotating turret and a gun mounted on a stationary superstructure. They were essentially tank destroyers. Development of the project was discontinued at the drafting and modelling stage.
The Ikv 65 still retains the "Glass cannon" traits from its predecessor ; It has quite great mobility and has small size that provides great camouflage rating, but also doesn't have armor protection. This TD abandons the traits from the early Ikv project that classed it as an Infantry support SPG in real life, with powerful derp shot, but with awful gun handling. Instead, Ikv 65 offers much better gun handling and excellent penetration, in exchange for much lower alpha damage. That makes it the true sniper in its tier.
The Ikv 65 Alt II leads to the Ikv 90 Typ B.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very high top speed and acceleration due to low weight
- Satisfactory penetration and damage, especially at top tier
- Excellent turning. Can spin quickly directly after moving
- Maintains its trait of plentiful gun depression
- Reverse speed allows the tank to hide as soon as it is spotted
Cons:
- By far the lowest DPM of any Tier 6 tank destroyer, Jagdpanzer IV has almost 1k more (70%!)
- Absolutely no armor, most gun's HE shells can rip it to pieces; easily oneshotted by howitzers and can be a prized target to SPGs
- Reasonably tight gun arc
- Gun's accuracy demands some aim time
- Mediocre momentum; often swing when breaking at high speed, combined with tight gun arc makes it's not suitable for snapshots
- Engine gets hit a lot

Historical Info
Ikv 65 proposal 1
The other Ikv 65 proposals used their own original suspension and did not vary that much from each other, except for the final design, which was to be based of the Pbv 302 APC chassis and was to have a fully traversable turret
Ikv 65 proposal 2
Ikv 65 proposal 3
Ikv 65 proposal 4
Ikv 65 proposal 5
Despite the Landsverk design being the one preferred by the Army, it was ultimately decided to go with the Hägglunds design due to the greater interchangeability of parts between the new Ikv and the Hägglunds-designed and built Pbv 302 APC. Eventually, this led to the production Ikv 91 in 1975, but that is a story for another part. After losing the contract for the Ikv 91, Landsverk did shut down its military design section and focused on the production of civilian excavators. After that, it wasn’t long until the remaining part of the company was sold off to Volvo BM and by the mid-70s, Landsverk was shut down for good.
This was Landsverk’s most detailed one and the one they favored. A very detailed scale model was built, but since a competitor’s design was chosen instead, the design otherwise remained on paper.
