Stridsvagn 103 aka s-tank?

[pide2020]

has anyone made one of these? i think they're retired now, but its a cool tank from the swedes- really low profile, it seems like a good defensive tank as compared to offensive like the abrams etc... any thoughts, i dont know enough aboot it, but i like its looks :-)

There's a swedish army mod called Operation White Night, but its not at there unit list but htey have a forum where they have a area for what people think should be in it. Might be worth a try.

Damn, that's like really low profile ... the crew must be swedish midgets or something

I was thinking that it sort of fits in with their philosophy, arent they meant to be neutral?. ie. keep to themselves unless attacked , this tank sort of suits them i think excellent defensive stuff, not so aggressive as t 72/80, abrams etc, this tank looks like it could sit on hill in the alps un-noticed, and then bite back if needed out of no where- who's going to notice just a barrel sticking out of the horizon, go swiss!! and they make good knives:-)

Uhm ... that tank is from Sweden, not Switzerland.

Thank god we now have the worlds most advanced MBT (Strv.122) as the POS Strv.103 is utter crap.. Why build a tank that can't be used to attack (It looks like a tank killer but it is a MBT) it can't fire on the move and is a big target even when dug in.. and easy to spot as when you fire up the engines a huge plume of heat rises up.. even the Centurion is a better tank..

If you can read swedish here is what a swedish colonel have to say about the STANK
