Dominating with Surprise Attacks || STRV M42 EH

The Stridsvagn m/42 EH is a continued development of the AB Landsverk tanks designated Lago I, that Hungary had requested back in the 1930s. When Sweden requested a new heavy tank armed with a 75 mm cannon, AB Landsverk saw the opportunity to use the existing Lago I as a basis for the new tank. Only 57 of the 282 Strv m/42 tanks ordered were produced to the EH standard, while the rest were the TH and TM variants. The tank was already outdated when it was introduced, with very thin armour, poor mobility, and a mediocre gun for the time. In the mid-1950s when Sweden bought in the Strv 81, the Strv m/42 EH was repurposed for infantry support and redesignated as Ikv 73 in 1957.
It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury". The Strv m/42 EH is a fairly conventional medium tank that distinguishes itself with its excellent gun depression. It thus excels in hull-down positions or ridge-fighting. However, the gun is quite weak and will struggle in uptiers against angled and well-armoured tanks. Heavy tanks are usually extremely hard to deal with for the Strv m/42 EH. It's not a great flanker due to its large profile and mediocre mobility, instead, it relies on its gun handling in hull-down positions to ambush other tanks, which is a good tactic around capture points and important roads.

Yay ☻
Thanks for actually making a video on it ! This tank is one of my favourites, and as it is the first one that I got 2500SP in (so a "nuke"), it holds a special place for me. Great video, you did well capturing all the great aspects of this amazing tank!
(Also, I might have started something here... xD)

I had my first nuke with xm-803. I had to wait till BR 9.3 😅

[@lordhickory3322]

@@kubito8085 I mean yeah ofc with the Strv m/42 it wasn't a real nuke, as it doesn't exist at that BR, hence the quotation marks around the word "nuke". Still, for me it counts. In my WT career so far I have only 3 times had over 2500 SP, and all three were with low tier sweden. One at 2.7 (as mentioned above), and two with the exceptional 3.7 lineup (the third one was today, had an amazing 18 kill + plane kill game earlier)

I destroyed 5 tanks using the Stridsvagn m/42 EH and captured a point without my teammates help. It sure is a monster.
