The SAV 20.12.48 in War Thunder is one of the Top 5 most Over Powered Tanks in the entire game. It has a 120mm cannon with a 1.2 second reload and it can dunk on anything that it faces.
The SAV 201248 is one of the most unique tanks in War Thunder. It's a case mate tank destroyer slash self propelled gun that fires a MASSIVE 120mm shell with almost 1kg of TNT inside it. It has just shy of 100mm of penetration but this doesn't matter since even if it doesn't penetrate it still has a good chances of taking out your foes.
It's on sale right now and goes away on the 15th, so make sure to get your hands on it before it goes. Absolutely outstanding. One of the best tanks in War Thunder.

[@mrstrongarmsgamer5748]

sweden seems to have just a shit ton of assault gun designs around this time, is there a reason for that like a specific part of swedish military doctrine?

[@SonsOfLorgar]

​@@mrstrongarmsgamer5748 yes, at the time, the Swedish high command staff and professors at the war academy that had closely observed tactics and equipment of both sides during the war and secured as many samples as possible of the surplussed equipment after the war as possible, had concluded that if invaded by any of the formerly allied great powers, Sweden would not be able to hold the borders for any significant time due to the quantitive difference that could simply never be matched. As a result, the only option remaining was to compensate by extreme quality, mainly in firepower and in hardened dispersed base facilities for critical elements of the navy, airforce, command functions and costal artillery. The armed forces was thus reconfigured completely for a multi tiered defense in depth and guerilla war strategy for hitting hard and fast from unexpected directions and then fade away using the very broken and complex Swedish terrain to maximum advantage. The defense industry was also government owned to 51% which resulted in a very streamlined procurement and design system where serving officers actively participated in both concept, design and practical testing of prototypes side by side with the technical engineers and designers. Excluding ignorant economists and politicians from everything except the budget framing and ensuring that the devices produced held a conscript proof quality and really worked as intended in the field, because the country could not afford any risk of design flaw or corruption caused equipment failiures if the cold war had turned hot.

[@volatile100]

@@mrstrongarmsgamer5748 Sweden has always focused on high maneuverability and very high defensiveness. If it cant be dug in and hidden easily, its not for Sweden.

I find that the M3 Lee is more OP than this, personally. Both its cannons are quite deadly at its BR, and you can fire one or the other of them on average every 2 seconds or so or instantly in succession when needed for followup, WITHOUT waiting for first stage to fill in. Plus actually decent armor for its BR. And you can go "hull sideways" and be almost invulnerable. Don't seal club as much these days, but like 18 kills games weren't uncommon when I did/do with it

[@volteer1332]

Take a few HE shells with you in case you detect one of these suckers

[@IndianaNorthWestern]

Yeah that's just how the game is, I've been playing since like late January of 2024 and 1.0 to 4.0 was just absolute pure hell and almost impossible because of all of the losers who have maxed everything and can only kill the brand new players that have no idea what they're doing and had no idea you can press M to open the map. It really should be based on BR AND the player's level. Like you shouldn't be level 4 and be up against a level 100 that's been playing religiously since the game was even thought of by the developers. Like yeah if you "get good" you can kill them, but when you are brand new and have stock vehicles you're modifying, you can't do shit. I got to like 5.7 as my highest BR, and I am absolutely staying right there, it's fun, got a decent selection of everything (but no light tank iirc and in the US tree) and fits my personal play style of "I want to have fun and have silly moments where I have a main character buff and survive a 1v7 in a M4A2 76 in a last enemy push for the A point"

[@ZETH_27]

I believe the APHE round for the SAV is actually supposed to be a SAP round that Gaijin's modelled incorrectly. The 120mm on the SAV is basically a naval artillery gun mounted on a ground vehicle for direct and indirect-fire support. Hpgr stands for “Halvpansargranat” which effectively means; “Semi-anti-armour high-explosive shell” or “Semi-armour-piercing high explosive projectile” It should also be noted that the “high-explosive” in this context doesn’t mean it is like a classic HE-shell, but just that it contains high explosive filler. This is ehat differentiate “granat” (high-explosive filled shell) and “projektil” (literally means; “projectile”, and implies that it is solid shot) Especially considering the Swedish equivalent of HE is “Sgr” meaning “Spränggranat” or ”Explosive… high explosive shell”. Yeah it’s confusing, I know.

[@cat_clan_leader]

I've played the heck out of this tank over the years, murdering low tiers and MBTs alike, though I'll give everyone a word of advice. Shermans are a near hard counter against it. The SAVs gun struggles very much frontally against them, as it has barely not enough penetration to go through them effectively. An angled KV-1 is also a very solid counter You could do a Sherman HE run specifically to hunt for SAVs, could be fun EDIT: another thing, if you see them fire 7 times in quick succession, then you can know for certain that their ready rack is empty. It takes a little while to reload a single shell, so you will have plenty of time to push them and blast them

On most you can shoot the weak spot on the side of the turret face with 25mm less armor.

I will be honest on paper it's great, and in the hands of someone skilled, it is, but for the average player its kinda ass due to its mobility and armour being weaker than wet toilet paper.

Random Swedish fact: For some reason our military really likes to note when shells are tracers, which is why the designations for ammunition often look weird. The "sl" in the beginning of the ammunition type stands for "spårljus" or "tracer". Why, I have no idea, since virtually all tank shells in use are tracers and so the designation seems pretty pointless. But now you know how to identify a tracer round on a Swedish vehicle!

There's no BR where it would be balanced, because it's still 95mm APHE with an open top and THE fastest main caliber fire rate of any vehicle that isn't an SPAA or an IFV. It's limiting factor is the penetration values.

[@doknezdoknez1678]

@@volteer1332 allright but 3.7? Cmon man that's ridiciolous.

[@volteer1332]

@doknezdoknez1678 I hate that Sweden has 4 tank destroyers around 4.0 too. But you should consider that 95mm of pen isn't enough to get through the turret of a KV-85 unless it is flat on, and even the side will have trouble if it's a bit angled. I can see it going up to 4.0. But it's still an open top casemate, so unless you know what you're doing, most players are gonna get slaughtered (that's why the ikv 103 dropped from 5.3 to 4.0, it was too easy to MG and people didn't play it right)

[@doknezdoknez1678]

@@volteer1332 well you aren't supposed to fight thing head on in the sav. That's where the speed and reaload comes in. You are supposed to ambush multiple players from the side. But in 3.7 you can pen anything frontally with this mf that's why it's not ballanced

[@volteer1332]

@doknezdoknez1678 as a destroyer, you should be able to front-pen things that are the same BR as you (assuming you don't just shoot the strongest points), and at least disable it. If a casemate has to ambush something at the same rank from the side to even get through, then that encourages passive camping behavior or really slimy spawn flanks. (IE, why the puma was bumped up from 2.7 to 3.3, and the R3 has gone from 3.7 all the way to 5.0).

[@user-bo4kv4qb7y]

It has 120mm 1.5sec autoloader with a damn overpressure!! This Swedish rapid meatball launcher is an absolute God Mode machine.

The Pe-8 on the ground with the nickname Get_high at 11:02 though lol

11:02 did anyone else see that plane randomly teleport there?

[@adimaiuniversal4361]

These Auto-devils are such a pain to fight, until you are in a Auto-cannon vehicle, then its equal footing

[@pepelaugh4091]

Bought some GE using your store promo and picked this thing up :D

[@nemofknfish]

I bought it this morning after watching your video... i have atleast 5/6 other savs in my team every game.

[@ArchibaldRox]

Hey Odd! Maybe you should do a video on the Swedish Ikv 91 if you havent already. It's a heatslinging light tank with laser rangefinding at 7.7. Love the content btw.

[@swissfreek]

Pretty sure he’s done all the Ikvs. It’s what got me interested in playing Sweden, and I never stopped.

[@Kaiberus]

it used to be 7.3 which was insane i loved that thing@@swissfreek

[@Alexander_Snowden]

​@@Kaiberus The Ikv 91 was 6.7 on release

[@ArchibaldRox]

@@Alexander_Snowden yeah I didn't have it grinder out by then, still working on the British tech tree. wish I had lol seemed fun

[@sirwolf7024]

I absolutely love that tank. Ive had enemy teams just seek out to destroy me instead of playing the game.

[@cat_clan_leader]

I had that exact thing happen to me today actually. Got my position swarmed on Seversk-13 because I knocked out 6 guys in quick succession. People want you dead when you play this thing lmao

[@RenAeRen]

Im hiding and playing sweden so i can have the wallet warriors on my team

[@johndworak1035]

Hey Odd, wanna play the M8 HMC (not the armored car). It's fast, has decent armor, has a .50, and a good HEAT shell (Day 1 lol, we'll see how long it takes)

[@calebwhite5600]

Saw a guy on TikTok playing this last night so I found it and bought it before it's gone. Now every match my team has like 7 or 8 of these things lmfaoooo it's a lot of fun, but can be frustrating when I shoot something like a Churchill 5 times and don't pen, only for them to one shot me...

[@kakapokid1796]

Had a game this evening with 7 of these things on our team 😂

[@mazack00]

when i try to flank on normandy: "O HELLO I HURD U LIEK 2 BRAWL" bawz flanking: casual sunday drive down the road.

[@alexstasko696]

I once discussed with a guy saying this is not OP, his only argument was it's opentop ._.

[@BooKooHoo]

You should definitely play the t80B, that thing is a menace at its br also paired with the 2s25m

[@purple-headedyogurtslinger2683]

Me: buys 6.7 KT pack for the holidays Gaijin:

[@pasuhk997]

I love this thing so much. I have this for 3 years and I am glad that its now 3.7 in rank3 instead of 2 So I can grind with it

[@Milieboy]

I remember the first time I came across this monster. It fired when i was behind cover, I drove forward to shoot and to my surprise that bugger shot aswell, which luckily bounced. Now I was terrified of the reload speed. Especially since my shot bounced and the one after that did as well. Luckily i was fighting against the worst player ever so it took him 5 rounds to kill me. Which is why it terrified me that even the worst player on wt could kill me like that without having to go behind cover.

[@TzunSu]

It's amazing, but used to be even more broken back when it was 3.3 lol.

[@DanskerneFraDanmark]

You could actually get this vehicle from the secret quest shop

[@amrsaleh9954]

been playing Sweden lately and I saw this thing alot on my team. never knew how powerful it was, as I never had to face it XD

[@PaulsToolReview]

For $6.60 Gaijin, it's a ton of fun and it will help you grind out the Swedish tree which can be painful if you don't have the upgraded ammo which you need to get first (APDS even their reserve tanks which is very OP). If that's something you are interested in, they have some fun vehicles when using their best ammo plus many copies of other countries like the T34 and Panzer IV G at Tier 3 (normally tier 2) which can help get some of of the dailies done. Some of the "borrowed" tanks are all located in their "Finnish" sub-tree.

[@canned__meat]

The two premium vehicles that I can wholeheartedly recommend. This thing Turm 3 So much fun to be had.

[@sharkk127]

This thing was the first premuim i bought right when the swedish tree released, i was an absolute menace with it

[@jjstuartonwriting8150]

ok I bought this on your recommendation with some extra Christmas golden eagles, and my first game, not knowing how it played, I scored 6 kills and never died.

[@highalp1252]

Can you explain the overpressure for me my man. I started this game as Germany and fought pretty fine at the start. Later i run into enemy tanks i just cant defeat. Right now im at 6.7, where germany should be a monster till 7.7. But i judt start to struggle really hard. I just started playing usa as filler and to learn and it feels so much easier. Currently sitting at 5.0 there. How i can get better with german tanks. They are just so slow and cant pen it feels like. Great video

[@bugone2]

I wondered what this thing was that kept destroying me. Had to buy one to try it out. Damn, 12 kill streak without dying in my first match with it. This thing one shots almost anything. 3.7 is crazy low. 😮

[@SchrodingerMil]

Well now I NEED to see Odd play this with Spookston.

[@obsidianfury828]

Just bought this played it just at 3.7 and it is so dirty, im just gonna pair it up with the pyorrmyrschky and i have a solid lineup
