About Strv74
Hull is from a ww2 tank but with a new turret.. istead of buying new light tanks Sweden reused the old Strv M/42
It was planed to fit it with Amx13 turrets.. but it didnt fit so they designed a new turret

Real gundepression was 15º!!  thanks to the mantle.. so with those values.. hull down yes please :D

I visisted Arsenalen in Strängnäs and talked with their tank expert about strv 74/90. Looks like that one is invented by some model builder or WG themselves (could possibly be a foreign experiment with strv 74)

1. a bigger gun would most likely tip the tank over if the gun was fired when turret is rotated to either side of the hull.
2. weird gun mantlet mounted in front of the regular mantlet that obstructs optics.
3. camo pattern looks odd.

However, he pointed out that the documentation for various projects are hard to find these days, as many people who knew of them are dead. Some prototypes have been put in storage and forgotten or hidden away in order to prevent scrapping (these are especially hard to find when people who know about them die).

Must... get... all... tanks from Switzerland and Sweden. Bouth of Countries (espesially Sweiz) remained neutral and still made quite nice armor of the time.

Also, don't forget Hungarian tanks. They simply MUST be in the game.

Holy hell, S-tank? That thing did all of its gun adjustments with its suspension. Wargaming better rework their game with extremely accurate traverse and adjustable height on suspension or that tank just won't work.

There are no tier 1 TDs.

However they are adding tier 1 Medium tanks (in the British tree) so tier 1 TDs is not exactly an impossibility.

The S-tank is much speedier than 50kph, when speed governator was removed, the tank could reach ~90kph on flat road.
Not much flat road in combat territory, but still.
Normal crew is 3, but it can be operated with only 1!

Info comes from both my older brother who served as a driver on an s-tank, and several other people who served on it.

I am curious how on earth they will manage the S-tank, since it doesnt have any gun traverse at all, its a completely fixed gun. With the current WoT system of the accuracy going to hell as soon as your TD twitches, the tank would be shit. Unless its incredibly accurate on the move. Even then they'd have to make it incorrectly elevate.
