Battlefield Role
Choose a firing position with a usable hull-aiming arc before committing. Maintain room to reposition the whole vehicle if the target crosses out of the gun’s line.
When to spawn
A useful first spawn on many maps. In uptiers, work with teammates for side shots rather than forcing a frontal fight.
Common Mistakes
- Repeating the same peek. Once an enemy has your range, move to another angle before firing again. A second shot from the same opening is easier to anticipate.
- Firing without a retreat. Choose cover you can reach during the reload. Do not cross into an enemy firing lane just to finish a damaged target.
Survivability and Armor
- Crew
- 3 persons
Guard the sides and avoid close corners that demand fast changes in firing direction. A fixed gun changes how a position must be selected.
Keep exposed sides and the fighting compartment behind cover. Check the incoming round and impact angle in Protection Analysis before relying on the armor.
Ammunition
slpprj m/61 · APDS
Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.
slspgr m/61 · HESH
A situational choice against suitable exposed armor surfaces. Tracks, spaced armor and other obstructions can spoil the impact.
slsgr m/61A · HE
Use against exposed crews, aircraft where applicable and lightly protected targets. Avoid spending the shot on heavy frontal armor.
rökgr m/61 · Smoke
Place smoke between the enemy and a crossing or retreat route. It blocks sight; it does not stop incoming fire.
slpprj m/66 · APDS
Use against armor and aim for crew or critical modules. A penetration alone may leave the enemy able to return fire.
Ready Rack and Carry Load
- First-stage capacity
- 50 rounds
- Maximum capacity
- 50 rounds
Carry enough for the route and resupply plan. A listed first-stage capacity alone does not establish a safe spawn load or prove that another rack is empty.
Mobility
- Maximum forward speed
- 50 km/h
- Maximum reverse speed
- 44 km/h
- Power-to-weight ratio
- 14.6 hp/t
- Engine power
- 540 hp
- Weight
- 36.9 t
Top speed is not cross-country pace. Check the reverse route before taking a firing position.
