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.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Extremely powerful and devastating firepower: 2nd highest DPM, best accuracy and 2nd best regular round penetration in the game!
- High mobility in travel mode; low terrain resists
- Tied with its predecessor, it has low chance of catching fire (10%), although this is quite irrelevant due to fuel tanks getting damaged from front
- Upper front plate is 50mm thick and thus much harder to penetrate than earlier Swedish tanks, Also came with front grills that can protect frontal HE shots.
- Very high camo values, among best in the game
- Longest radio signal range in the game at 850 meters.
- Has HEAT grip on front and spaced armor on LFP making it quite resistant against HEAT shells
Cons:
- Very low HP; tied for Grille 15, Bat Chat 25t and TVP T50 / 51 for having lowest non-SPG HP at tier 10, Very vulnerable against High caliber guns and SPGs, especially in Siege mode.
- Has to wait little time to switch in and out from Siege mode, greatly limiting its versatility
- No gun traverse or depression outside of siege; top speed limited to 10/10 kph in Siege mode, Very vulnerable in close range combat
- Its fixed gun is great trouble; Outside Siege mode, You can't move your gun up to shoot enemies in higher places. 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. You also can't shoot enemies from hill if enemy weren't far enough, or you didn't move yourself to him.
- Lowest alpha damage of all tier 10 TDs.
- High ammo cost compared to fast firing rate.
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.
