How to play a swedish tank. Opinion about Swedish tanks. The path to top heavyweights

Strv m/42– Swedish medium tank V level and he has already managed to establish himself as the bearer of a large alpha strike, which he can give out from behind any slide.

It should be noted right away that Strv m / 42 can only show itself well in the hands of an experienced player who knows all the cards by heart and is used to using the terrain to achieve victory.

Like all World of Tanks tanks, Strv m / 42 has a number of bright advantages and disadvantages, using one and closing the other, the tactics of the game are built on the Swede.

Many watermakers somehow ignored the 5th level of the Swedish ST / TT branch, for which they spoke in paint about such machines as Strv 74, Leo and Kranvagn. Now we will consider an equally interesting car - meet Strv m/42 guide.

Advantages Strv m/42

The best in-game gun depression angles (UHN) are as much as -15 degrees, which allows the tank to play better from the terrain than any other Tier V vehicle;
The largest alpha strike among STs is 150 units, unless you count high-explosive guns of course. In most STs, this indicator occurs only at level VI, or even at level VII;
The average indicators of accuracy and convergence time are 0.38 per 100 meters with a convergence of 2.5 seconds. However, with a good crew and combat fraternity, you can achieve much better performance, allowing you to throw shots "from the top";
The average armor penetration rates are 115 mm with a conventional armor-piercing projectile and 144 mm with a “gold”, also an armor-piercing projectile with excellent normalization.

Disadvantages Strv m/42

The almost complete absence of armor - we have 55 mm in the forehead, and even less on the sides. Such armor can only save you from some Tier III tanks - all the rest can penetrate the Swede without any problems, including artillery (self-propelled guns);
Pretty mediocre dynamics and mobility. In the absence of armor, there should be compensation in favor of mobility - but no. And although the tank cannot be called too slow - its maximum speed is 45 km / h and the power density is 18 liters. with. per ton, the tank behaves far from briskly, and the maximum speed is inferior to most STs at the level;
Mediocre visibility - only 350 meters, which is certainly not the worst indicator among classmates, but such figures certainly do not paint the Swede;
Average damage per minute - with 100% crew without equipment and perks - a total of 1428 units;
And the last serious disadvantage of the Strv m / 42 is its large size, which makes it a tasty target for artillery and, in general, for all opponents.

In order to somewhat enhance the advantages of the tank and close its obvious shortcomings, you can use the equipment.

What equipment to put on Strv m / 42?

First of all, we need to somehow block a fairly average DPM (average damage per minute) - for this we put a gun rammer. A mediocre view also needs to be strengthened with a stereo tube. Why not coated optics? Because our Swede will most often fire while stationary and because of the terrain, and when moving, the dispersion of the gun is too large, so it will not work to stop and shoot quickly, therefore, there is no need for optics. The third slot is best to put improved ventilation, which will further improve the average damage per minute, aiming speed, accuracy and vision.

And so, the equipment on Strv m / 42 should look like this:

Gun rammer;
Ventilation;
Stereoscopic telescope.

What perks should the Strv m/42 crew upgrade?

Commander: The sixth sense - she is also the famous "light bulb", the Brotherhood of Arms, Eagle Eye - further by choice.
Driver mechanic: Smooth running, Combat brotherhood, Repair - further to choose from.
Gunner: Smooth turn of the tower, Brotherhood in arms, Repair - further to choose from.
Charging: Everything is much simpler here - Repair, Combat Brotherhood - the rest of the skills are of little use to the Swede, so choose for yourself.

Perk option offered by wiki.wargaming

Such a scheme for pumping the crew will help the Swede Strv m / 42 to shoot with a smaller spread and throw trump cards because of the terrain. Combat Brotherhood with the second perk will enhance all the performance of your gun, and Commander's Eagle Eye will bring your view (together with the stereo tube) to the maximum. Repairs will never be superfluous, especially if we transfer the crew to the Swedish TT.

Game tactics on Strv m/42

It would seem, what can attract Strv m / 42? There is no armor at all, and it doesn’t shine with speed, it’s huge in itself, it can’t even shine for itself and it doesn’t shoot often - so why is it so good?

The answer is simple - this is the only ST at level V with such a huge alpha and LHV as much as -15 degrees. Yes, such indicators will not give an advantage to a beginner who will act according to tradition: he will simply go out onto flat terrain and lose to the enemy in DPM. But here experienced player will not disdain the best UVN in the game and find a position from which you can play from the tower. By showing only a small part of our turret, we can quickly shoot and do 150 damage, then roll quickly and repeat the procedure.

Now we don’t have “flat maps” - most of them are dug up and dotted with hills, so the relevance of using our HVN is extremely high. -15 degrees is so much that it will be impossible to find a position from which it will be impossible to play. Good luck if you decide to try.

At the same time, our dynamics is not so sad, and the review can be strengthened by a pipe and the Commander's Eagle Eye. All you have to put up with is the lack of armor. However, how many armored Tier V tanks do you know? And does this armor help them much, when almost everyone has “gold”?

While alpha levels of 100-100 are not common at level V, 150 damage is a huge achievement, thanks to which you can deal huge amounts of damage in battle.

DPM can also be improved and brought to 1700 units, which already gives numbers above average, which can be put up with. Reloading with all equipment and pumped crew will be 5.3 seconds, which is not so much for an alpha of 150 units.

Video guide for Strv m / 42 from Amway

So how do you play Strv m/42?

First of all, remember - we are not a front-line tank. In battle, you should always play from the terrain and sometimes trade HP with tanks that have a much lower alpha. It will be best for us to play on the second or third line.

However, if the fight is in the top, then you can play aggressively, again using the terrain and your angles. If you're playing aggressively, make sure you have allies covering you, and best of all, play as a platoon.

More recently, developers have shown new tank belonging to Sweden. In one of the articles, this machine appeared as a level 7 ST and it was called "74/13". The same handsome man is referred to as Strv m / 42-57 Alt A.2. Let's take a closer look at the tank.

The tank is a mixture of Strv 74 and AMX-13, or rather, the chassis from the Swede, and the turret from the French. Since the machine is being pre-tested, it has 2 guns. In principle, they differ only in that one drum and the other classic + differ in some small characteristics. The unit will not stand out with armor at all, 40-55 mm in the forehead with some angles will not give us such a thickness of armor that was capable of to deflect enemy projectiles. Recall that the tank is level 6, and there can be no talk of any preferential level of battles. Therefore, even getting to the top of the list, where levels 4 and 5 will meet, everyone will break through us, and once we get to the very bottom, we will have to play from the bushes and exclusively from the skill.

Let's touch on the tool in more detail, or rather, tools. 148 penetrations and 150 alphas will surely cause a vine among the players. Let's hasten to reassure you, let's say that the gold sub-caliber will pierce a decent 207 mm.

The mixing time for both barrels is different: the drum will get 2.4 seconds and the usual 1.73 seconds. The accuracy of shooting also has differences, the cassette is 0.03 m / 100 m higher than that of the usual one, which equals 0.36 m / 100 m. And the last parameter of the gun that we will consider is the rate of fire. The single shot will have a 5.38s cooldown, and its triple shot version will have a total drum CD of 15s with 2s between shots.

We got to the dynamics of the newly minted premium, a 340-horsepower engine will accelerate the tank to 45 km/h. The car will spin in place at a speed of 38 degrees / sec, which seems to be not bad. We can not help but note the speed back, which is 20 km / h. Go around the corner, so as not to take damage will not be very difficult.

Of the remaining parameters, it is worth highlighting a completely unremarkable view of 360m and the strength of the ST-shki, which is equal to 700hp. Our tank comes out the most average. It has any parameter that we would not take does not stand out in anything. It is not known whether he will have a zest, but the initial performance characteristics on this moment just like that.

Not having time to recover from Chekhov, the developers are preparing the release of the Swedish nation, where they clearly and clearly made it clear to us that there will be a lot of cluster tanks in the tree. Based on the fact that we already have a purely drum nation - France, and partially containing multiply charged guns - the USA and the Czech Republic, one can only speculate about what the upcoming representatives of Scandinavia will still stand out for.

The tank is already available in the premium store, as well as on the shelves of WoT random items stores (where it is displayed at a more affordable price), all the subtleties of random item services (aka tank roulettes) are described in

Swedish tank and a review of the guide for this tank, how to play, how to tank it and what equipment to put on it is not an unimportant question what perks to download for the crew, as well as a video about this tank, you can learn all this from our article.

So, dear visitors of our site, I deflated this tank quite quickly, since before it there were normal, completely playable anti-tanks. But this is the first tank in the line with hydraulic suspension and I was very interested to know how it behaves in the game. I played about two hundred fights on it and there was a definite opinion, which I will present here. The tank is quite difficult to play because there are many minuses and not very many pluses.

It is not playable at all on the stock and you have to sit in the bushes and not break through anyone, but sometimes alpha comes in but a little shorter on the stock do not play on it or sit in the bushes and do not stick out. After buying the top gun, the game became more fun, but not much because there are a lot of ricochets even on light tanks, there are such epic ricochets into the side of the grill, for example, not breaking through everyone and everything, and sometimes the gun seems to live its own life.

This tank loves, so to speak, someone who knows where to shoot, because just like that, he doesn’t break through other tanks in any place, or, to be more precise, doesn’t break through often. If you are in the light and are in the Fri position (the X key is pressed) You have good vertical aiming angles and you can throw a good shot, but if you are in this position, then write is gone until you move to the stowed position, this is 2 seconds, then a couple of three times you will be tested. In short, what is on the drain that in the top-end configuration, the tank loves bushes. You can tank if you are in the top, you need to find a bump in front of the tank, stand in the position of Fri and, as if you were a continuation of the bump, then the shells will ricochet off the armor and you can withstand a couple of splashes, but do not hope that this miracle of technology tanks well no no and no.

So let's briefly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of UDES 03

Advantages of the tank

CD is not very slow 5. 83 rounds per minute which is pretty good if you add to this the crew and equipment.
The speed of the tank is impressive, you can drive both backwards and forwards quite quickly at 70 km per hour. That allows you to change positions.
The aiming angles in the Fri position are very good.

Disadvantages of UDES 03

The case is cardboard from all sides, wherever you throw everything pierces.
Alpha is small and often not enough to play normally at the bottom of the list.
It takes a long time to switch to traveling mode and the tank does not have time to get out of the line of fire when it is illuminated.
A lot of ricochets and non-penetrations, I don’t know why and what it is connected with, apparently the developers didn’t twist it somewhere. For constantly, instead of alpha, a caterpillar crit passes or simply rebounds even on light. and other cardboard tanks that even Jackson of the sixth level seems to break through with a bang.

How to play the UDES 03 tank

You need to play only in the top configuration and it is advisable to take 5-10 gold shells for especially durable tanks, because you will play with dozens. Sit in the bushes and just smell something fried, quickly leave for another position, since this allows speed. In no case do not ram anyone because the body is cardboard and you will take out more xp for yourself than for the enemy. Get up in front of a small hill in the bushes.

What perks to download for the crew on UDES 03

Perks standard for Fri are the commander of a light bulb for the rest of the brotherhood, then the second perks for the commander of the brotherhood of the rest are camouflage. The third perk for everyone in the specialty. Further as you like.

Good time, dear reader!

If you have already played open test updates 9.17, then you are unlikely to be interested in this material. Although, even those who did not play on general test- also already read and watched a lot about Swedish cars that will appear in 9.17 . But just a week ago on the general test 9.17 there was a small update where some swedish cars were changed. And so, the personal opinion of the portal editor regarding all Swedish cars.

Altogether in the Swedish nation, as you already know, update 9.17 there will be 20 vehicles. One of them has already been added to the game — it's a Tier VI premium medium tank. Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2.

Let's start with the heavy tank branch, which starts with the light ones. Located on level I Strv fm/21, on II — Strv m/38 and on III level Strv m/40L. I think that there is absolutely no need to talk about these three machines. All three vehicles will be completed in a couple of dozen battles, and some will even complete them for free experience. Light tanks from Tier IV to VII are followed by medium tanks in the following order: lago, Strv m/42, Strv 74 and Leo. All four cars turned out to be very interesting in that they have very good vertical aiming angles. AND Leo at level VII, it also has high mobility with an excellent weapon. And so top cars at levels VIII, XI and X are of great interest. Here we have heavy tanks, which are quite different from those that we already have in the game. Let's talk in more detail about the top cars.

Level VIII - Emily I. Emily I before that update on the supertest, he had good mobility, armor and a gun. And you know, it seems to me that Emily I could move AMX 50 100 from the niche he currently occupies. But on November 25, an update was released, where Emily I the power of the top engine was reduced by 21%, and the reload time of both guns was increased from 3 seconds to 3.51. Now Emily I is not such an imba, as it was at the very beginning. The car has become quite balanced.

Level IX - Emil II. With the second Emil the same thing happened as with the first. Reduced engine power, reload increased from 3 seconds to 3.51. But in this case, they also cut off the armor from the VLD. In principle, the tank remained playable and enjoyable.

X level - Kranvagan. Before the update on November 25, this car was a real imba. Kranvagan possessed everything that is needed for a pleasant bend: mobility, armor, mobility, etc. With the release of the update, engine power was significantly worsened by as much as 28%. Swedish top heavy tank became much slower than its competitor - AMX50B. Increased the time both inside the drum and the drum itself. From 2.75 to 3 seconds and from 28 to 33 seconds, respectively. They cut off the armor from the VLD, like Emil II. Now Kranvagan differs from other drum TTs only in that its main shells are sub-caliber.

Swedish tank destroyers start at tier II and go all the way up to tier X. Up to tier VII, inclusive, here are the usual classic vehicles that do not really stand out from other tank destroyers in the game. It's not even worth talking about them. Let's talk about Tier VIII, IX and X vehicles instead.

Level VIII - UDES 03. The car is something extraordinary. It seems to be UDES 03 it has a powerful gun, but it is very difficult to realize its potential due to the complex control of raising and lowering the hull with free aiming of guns in a vertical plane.

At levels XI and X there are Strv 103-0 and Strv 103B. The cars turned out to be very pleasant from the gameplay side, but the controls... The controls, and therefore the gameplay itself, turned out to be a bit difficult. And this is what many players who have played and are playing on the Supertest say about it. In principle, another primary opinion about the new mechanics could not be expected.

Here is some kind of opinion I have about the machines of the new nation. Over time, of course, all players will get used to the hydraulic suspension mechanics. After all, when the first drum tanks were introduced, which were french nation, then also the players did not particularly accept it. And now... And now you can see for yourself how it is played.

With 5.09.2016 of the year, the long-awaited Swedish tank Strv m 42 - 57 Alt A.2 entered for a limited time. In the previous article, we got acquainted with the preliminary, and now we will learn how to play and what modules are needed for the Swedish Premium car in game world of tanks.

Price Strv m 42 – 57 Alt A.2

The first Swedish premium tank Strv m 42 - 57 Alt A.2 is for sale both separately and with various sets (reserves, in-game gold and additional WoT premium days). The minimum price is 880 rubles($15) for premium tank 6 WoT level. Everyone will choose a worthwhile set for the game, if necessary, but in fact it is better to buy a regular, minimum set for 880 rubles with a slot and 100% crew, which is more than enough.

How to play Strv m 42 – 57 Alt A.2

It is best to pump all three crew members at the beginning of the skill " The Brotherhood of War"to improve all the characteristics of the tank, then the commander" Sixth Sense"and the rest of the skill" Repair". Third perk better commander pump "Repair", the gunner "Smooth turn of the tower", and the mechanics to the driver "King of the off-road".

Equipment Strv m 42 – 57 Alt A.2

It is necessary to supply the equipment to improve the information of the gun, namely " Reinforced pickup drives", then put " improved ventilation» in conjunction with the studied skill Combat Brotherhood, a very significant advantage of 10% to all characteristics of the tank and crew is obtained, which will affect maneuverability and firepower. And the next module is best to put " coated optics“, which is a little, but will increase the view of the tank.

If there is an opportunity and there are enough free credits to buy gold equipment, then it is better to put - "Big first-aid kit", "Big repair kit" and "Coffee with pastries", and if it is not possible, then put everything according to the standard.

Conclusions on the tank Strv m 42 - 57 Alt A.2

A premium tank of level 6 Sweden is interesting only for upgrading the crew for , and the drum loading system diversifies the game on inactive vehicles. bend down from 8 World levels of Tanks will be possible only with fully charged gold shells, in case of an unexpected appearance and departure to the enemy.
Is it worth buying? Probably not, because after the release Swedish branch, everyone will safely forget about Strv m 42 - 57 Alt A.2, and not everyone wants to pay 880 rubles for it. As already repeated and , the recommendation at the moment is accumulate the most free experience, for the future branch of the Swedes.
