THE HAPPIEST KILLING MACHINE ON PLANET EARTH - Strv 122B PLSS in War Thunder

The Strv 122B PLSS is probably the best all round MBT in War Thunder. It's extremely well armoured, has a great gun, decent mobility and of course... a VERY happy Commander Sight.
The Strv 122B is considered one of the best, if not THE BEST tank in War Thunder due to its versatility and survivability. It really is the whole package and it's just THAT much better than the Leopard 2A6.
Sweden Mains rejoice... they really do get all the cool tanks! :)

IT'S HOT IN SCOTLAND BUT NOT AS HOT AS MY DECAL IN WAR THUNDER! store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?category=WarThunder&partner=Oddbawz&partner_val=2bpa5qx4

@txcgladiator4030 but honestly just Grind that thing out and then find your best playstyle with it. I try to be as aggressive as possible. Also having a buddy in anti-cas or a good SPAA helps a lot. (Also about 20% of the bombs and missiles that hit you do no to very minimal damage if you've got the mine protection on)

[@factsforlife0O0]

That is 62 tons the M1a1 is 63 tons and the M1a2C is above 80 Tons lets fraction 80 Tons INTO LBS it is 160,000lbs so image how much armor the M1a2C and m1a1 should really have in the game which shows how much they nerfed the armor This thing can stop any Sabot to the face while the M1a1 should do that also but since they nerfed it it wont the m1a1 does have DU armor and it has a CBRN protection system also inside of the abrams in combat only they have 12mm thick Kevlar linings to protect the crew from Paint and fragmentation Thats another thing they didnt provide for the Abrams that I really wish they did because it does really protect from Spall and paint chips

[@obsidianjane4413]

M1A2C isn't 80 ton. More like 73t. Most of the weight gain is in the APS and side plates. Paint chips? Don't eat them.

Fun fact: When Sweden bought the licensing rights to produce the Strv 122, we decided that "Nah, that's not enough armour", and basically redesigned the entire armor layout, adding additional armour plating manufactured in my home town, and replacing the composites with improved domestically produced variants. So despite being essentially a Leo 2 Improved, it sports slightly more effective turret armour than the A5, and much more potent hull armour, with around 22% increased protection against HEAT, and 25% increased protection against sabot. And that is the 122A, while the 122B and B+ adds an additional 3+ tons of composite add-on armour, protecting against attacks using HEAT, HE, and mines.
