History Characters / WorldOfTanksSweden

----

* MagikarpPower: Comes with stock 105mm howitzer that, while powerful, has horrid accuracy and whooping 10 seconds reload time. The rest of module upgrades however are useful in its own right.

!!Ikv 103

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In RealLife the Strv [=103B=] has a [[MoreDakka '''twelve round autoloader''' that can fire every three seconds]]. But ,for obvious reasons, this didn't get put in the game. It (and the 103 before it) also has amphibious capability in RealLife that isn't implemented in-game.

----Tropes that apply to the nation as a whole----

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The UDES and it's S-Tank cousins down the line is actually designed as main battle tanks, not tank destroyers.
* FragileSpeedster: While Swedish tanks as a whole follow the doctrine of high speed, low armor, the UDES 03 still stands out with it's monstrously overpowered engine compared to it's weight, allowing it to go very fast both forwards and backwards on top of high acceleration. In terms of armor however it might fall apart if someone so much as look at it funny.

!!Strv 72

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Unlike most other Swedish vehicles, it has bad gun depression.

!!Strv 103-0

!!Strv 103B

* DualModeUnit: Like it's predecessors, it can switch between very fast but inaccurate Travel Mode, and immobile but accurate Siege Mode that moves the entire hull to compensate for the lack of turret. Switching between the two takes some seconds.
* FragileSpeedster / GlassCannon As fast, fragile and powerful as a typical tier 10 tank destroyer can get.
** MadeOfIron: However, the Strv [=103B=] is equipped with anti-HEAT slat armor in the front. This, combined with ''very'' sloped frontal armor it might as well been horizontally flat, makes it incredibly infuriating shooting at it from the front as the tank absorbs shot after shot harmlessly. Flanking it from the side or rear is almost a must.

* HitAndRunTactics: A useful tank for it, considering the thin armor, 4-round autoloader with decent reload speed, and excellent viewrange.

* SomeDexterityRequired: Because it is a [[MilitaryMashupMachine French AMX 13 turret and a [=Strv 74=] 75mm gun on a Strv m/42 chassis]], it trades the trademark excellent Swedish gun depression for an autoloader. This might be a bad surprise to those used to the non-premium Swedish tanks.

* GlassCannon: With merely 700hp at Tier 6 and paltry armor, it's not going to survive long if shot at. With a frightening 140mm average penetration and 4-round autoloader combined with a decently quick reload, the same can be said of all but the most heavily armored of it's targets.

* Crippling Overspecialization: Has the only gun in the game that can ONLY fire HEAT shells. The upside is 300 alpha damage at tier 5. The downsides are very low shell velocity, the lack of HE in a howitzer type gun, and very low penetration, even with the premium rounds.

The Swedish armed forces put a lot of focus on [[HitAndRunTactics Shoot-and-Scoot]] tactics, emphasizing high speed and good guns at the cost of armor and durability.
