Tank description:

The Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 is a Swedish tier 6 premium medium tank.As part of development of the Strv 74, a project was proposed for a vehicle with the oscillating turret of the French AMX 13 tank and the 7,5 cm kan strv 74 gun; however, the vehicle was never built.While it may not have the excellent gun depression angles and dynamics of Swedish mediums, the Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 (which is quite a mouthful to say) is a great sniper tank. With its ability to inflict high burst damage, and good soft stats (for an autoloader), it can be surprisingly effective if in the hands of a skilled tank commander. Its autoloading gun can do enormous damage even to some softer tier 8''s. But the gun often loses potential in tier 7 and tier 8 battles, when the 149 penetration is just not that effective like it is in tier 6 battles.
