Here's a fun fact, the Stridsvagn 74 was nicked named "Sanslös" or senseless by her crews, due to the fact of how violently it would rock while firing at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.

The strv 74 is an amazing turreted tank destroyer. It amazing firepower for a medium tank. It also gets scouting like other light tanks, but that also means it shares it's weak armor with them. Sadly like most heavy tanks in its class, it's very slow.

[@suthiraksb]

I think it classed light tank because they changed the measuring. M26 Pershing was a heavy tank too, before they change to medium tank. Strv 74 shares hull with old medium tanks. It was medium tank, but in it's small in its era

[@MisterMainiac]

As wierd as the Strv 74 is, it is suprisingly effective in game. If you can take advantage of the gun depression it doesn't show much of its grotesque turret. Something I'm curious about is if they can model the backup generator that it has in the turret bustle. It had an aux generator in back to allow for power to the turret w/o having the main engine running. I'm just a fan of odd and unusual tank designs, which is why I also love tanks like the Strv 103 and Object 416. (Gaijin please don't add Obj 416... it's not good...)

[@Atzy]

That grotesque turret is also surprisingly sturdy. The mantel, despite it's thin armor, is more effective than you'd think thanks to it's shape.

[@lupisvolk2420]

This tank is quite fun in world of Tanks for the reasons this tank is unique in WT.

[@ChaosPootato]

Is the 416 the pancake tank with the rear mounted turret ?

[@MisterMainiac]

@@ChaosPootato Yes it is. All 4 crew members are in that turret, including the driver. It's why its depicted as having limited turret traverse cause if you turn more than about 70° either way the driver can't see front anymore. The turret is fully capable of turning 360°

[@drmememachine]

The reason you saw the airplane under the map at 2:30 was because the Tiger player respawned in one. The game always spawns the new vehicle at the players last instance point, then teleports them to the correct spawn.

[@Diablo-bb1nj]

does that mean that theoretically you can blow them up if you shoot fast enough?

[@ThePandabearzzz]

Gaijins shell deformation physics are both a beauty and a curse in both war thunder and enlisted, that tiger pen at 1:31 is similar to me trying to kill a puma with an m5a1 in enlisted where if you fire through the upper front into the driver the solid shot deform into a curl and while still pens the armor, the driver absorbs the entire shell lol

[@comradewaffle6795]

I've been having fun playing the Char 25t, it's really low to the ground and is hard for people to notice. Plus its gun is pretty good and fast, so I recommend it!

[@flamingosaredumb7693]

They tried adding rockets to the strv 74. In order to increase the ability to combat armor at long range, an assembly with 3 pcs Rb 52 was tried.Further changes were introduced, as the weight increased by approx. 4 tons, among other things the engine power was increased by introducing an injection system instead of a carburettor, there would also be better fuel economy with injection. Other changes included wider bands, double periscopes in the driver's hatch and lots of detail changes for eg ammunition storage, other radio stations etc.

[@boosteduwu5221]

[@sempersteel2799]

One thing I love about the Strv 74 is the geometry of its armor. With that insane slope on the turret, and great gun depression, you will bounce a surprising number of shots off your turret when you're hill sniping.

[@theblackandblueace]

funny enough the museum that i work at has a strv 74 on display and its one of the funniest looking tanks in the museum

[@YodamanOb704]

The strv 74 is also apart of an amazing lineup for Sweden. That 5.7 BR is nice, just hope they get some 5.7 CAS, cause while the j21a3 is rad, the bf109s they got as back up start to fall off.

[@satanihelvetet]

The Strv 74 was a cheap way to add a light tank beside the Centurion in the Swedish army after WW2. Basicly it's the Strv m/42 with a new turret given a Bofors 75 mm AA-gun. The gun is so big to the tiny tank, that it had to be balanced with clock type springs in the back. With the new turret the tank was 3.3 meter high, compared to 2.58 meter at the Strv m/42. There was two versions of Strv 74; H with double hydraulic transmissions from Atlas diesel and V with a single mecanic Volvo transmission. Strv 74V served from 1957 to 1981 and Strv 74H to 1984. However, the tank was in it's original task replaced with the Strv 103 from the late 60's.
