Another new addition to the opening ranks of Sweden’s armoured vehicle tech tree: the Strv m/40L light tank!
Strv m/40L, light tank, Sweden, rank I
Pros
- The fore part of the hull and turret are well protected.
Cons
- The cannon may not be sufficiently effective against heavy armour.
We recently told you about the Swedish “reserve”: the Strv m/31 light tank. Landsverk’s work on this tank resulted in a project with the factory designation L-60, where the mistakes the m/31’s trials had encountered were taken into consideration – including, among other things, problems with the suspension. The enhanced tanks were put into service under the designation Strv m/38, and Landsverk was commissioned to manufacture a series of these tanks. All 16 tanks of the m/38 series were Sweden’s only armoured vehicles when WWII erupted in Europe. However, the military wasn’t thoroughly satisfied with these vehicles – and, on top of that, they needed a whole lot more of them. The outcome of future upgrades in the L-60 project were two new models: the Strv m/39 and the Strv m/40. They received a turret with a new shape, a fully upgraded engine compartment, and a set of add-on hull armour. The m/40 was equipped with an automatic gearbox and an enhanced frontal turret section to which another machine gun, not paired to the cannon, was added. The Strv m/40 was manufactured until March 1942. A total of about 100 units of this modification were released.
In our game, Swedish armoured vehicle testers will find the Strv m/40L light tank at the very top of rank I. By the time you buy this tank you’ll already have had some combat experience in the m/31 and m/38, so you’ll have a good idea of the Strv m/40L’s potential. The tank’s compelling advantage is its frontal armour, which reaches 50mm. However, the m/40 has a small area with weaker protection: the gun mantlet. This armour can be penetrated by almost any enemy you might encounter in battle, so try to protect it in duels and make sure you draw enemy fire to the thicker parts of the turret and hull.
Despite the increased mass, the tank accelerates quite well and can happily drive over obstacles. One more thing the m/40L has inherited from its predecessors is its weapon – you’re already familiar with the Bofors 37mm cannon. If your shells were ripping into every enemy with ease at rank I, now you’ll have to study the other nations’ sturdier rank II tanks with an eye to the weak points in their defences. All in all, for rank II enemies, the tank’s main armament can be considered satisfactory, although its post-penetration effect could be better.
The Strv m/40 is a hardy tank that straddles the line between ranks I and II. Its interesting appearance with its twin machine guns at the front of the turret, good defence throughout almost the entire frontal area, and decent acceleration dynamics ensure that all testers of Swedish ground units will remember this tank for a long time to come. New tank-related reveals are coming soon! Follow our Developer Diaries and stay up to date on all the new features coming in the big 1.97 update to War Thunder. We’re working hard on it! See you soon!

how about instead of adding swedish tanks that nobody asked for, we fix the BR spread to .7, fix the BUSTED SRAAM and R-60 missile that has ruined top tier jets, and add the actual vehicles that people want (mirage & F8 crusader)
Ive waited for Swedish tanks for years. Frack top tier jets ;)
People asked for more nations so now we have Sweden. BR spread of 0.7 might not fix your problem and it's your own fault that you get in a situation in which you die to SRAAMs and R-60s so good sir, get your head out of the dirt and see the bigger picture.
why is the Sweden agian？where is other country？
Have you noticed there are only two premiums in the Swedish ground tree? Plenty more swedish tanks incoming
There will be Swedish tanks in the upcoming days, expect nothing from other nations for a few more days. If the source is accurate.
HEY! There is a Mirage Protest in Beggars City! We need your help to quell the Mirage Spam Gaijin!
Will we get the APDS for the 37 mm Bofors in the late light tanks?
yes
iam gonna love this tech tree. great tanks and great CAS + dads of toldi and Nimrod will be in it too
the has nothing to offer at the moment for me. being a Ground RB player there needs to be a new flavor, you guys have jumped the gun on M1A2 and Chally 2 while Russia and Germany has 2 - 3 more top tier MBTs that are not in the game yet. you've already Maxed out USA and UK. and Ground RB players prefer more new tanks and not premium Helicopters that take the fun out of the gameplay (I am for the record a KA50 scrub) and after a few battles i am done with it because of how cancerous it is.
Well, USA can get SEP varients of the Abrams and Britain can still get the Challenger 2 with the L/55
Now this is just sexy
Stona_WT will germany get puma IFV or east germany T-72?
ah yes new Flames effect MR SNAIL ? noice cant wait to see them ^^
