Sav m/43 ground vehicles will be the most common Swedish SPG’s in starting-rank battles. Let’s talk about them in more detail.
Stormartillerivagn m/43 (1946), SPG, Sweden, rank II
Pros
- Good dynamics
- The best HEAT rounds at its rank
Cons
- High profile
In 1942, Sweden began developing a new SPG built on a modified chassis from the Czech LT vz.38, better known as the Pz.38(t) in the German army. This new SPG was supposed to be equipped with the 75mm L/31 cannon that was already in production. By autumn of 1942, a wooden model of the planned vehicle had been created and, after a number of improvements, the project advanced to manufacturing prototypes. Exactly one year later, in October of 1943, testing began. The SPG passed with flying colours and hit assembly lines under the designation Sav m/43 (short for “Stormartillerivagn”, Swedish for “assault artillery carriage”). A little later, a version with a 105mm gun came out, and, by the end of 1946, all m/43 SPGs had been re-equipped with this new cannon. The Swedish army had used this SPG until the early 70’s. From the moment it entered military service until the end of the Second World War in Europe, the Sav m/43 vehicles were grouped by the Norwegian border and then assigned to infantry units as fire-support vehicles when the army was reorganised.
When Swedish armoured vehicle tech tree testing begins in the War Thunder 1.97 update, two versions of the Sav m/43 will be available within the game: a modification of the 1944 version with 75mm armament, and the 1946 version with the 105mm cannon. The first remarkable thing about this SPG is its angular, high crew compartment. In fact, the Sav m/43’s dimensions are its only drawback. This assault gun is fairly compact, and its light weight makes it very dynamic. Its armour is certainly sufficient for the platform of a light tank with up to 50mm at the front of the compartment.
Once you purchase this vehicle, you will have armour-piercing shells with a ballistic cap and high-explosive shells that, at a calibre of 105mm, are effective against medium and light tanks from the WWII era. In the modification process the HEAT rounds with a penetration of 240 mm on a normal impact become available, making it possible to penetrate ANY enemy, as long as you hit them in the “soft” spots, like the ammo rack.
The two SPGs can be researched in order: the 1944 version at the first rank, followed by the 1946 version with the 105 mm gun. Both vehicles are great for their ranks, and the 1946 Sav m/43’s fantastic HEAT rounds will be useful in battles at higher ranks as well.
We’re going to tell you about another new addition coming in the 1.97 update very soon. Keep an eye out!

This is going to be great learning about all these Swedish AFV's I know nothing about! They don't typically include these in the tank books on WW2!
Agree :)
DOV BLEG!!!
Beautiful model as always :))))
I'm getting Lorraine 155 vibes from this
That 105mm HEAT shell sounds OP..... I like it
Most likely balanced with long reload, similar to Italian 105 Semovente and horrible muzzle velocity, probably around 450m/s. Also only marginally better mobility than the Hetzer.
Not any more OP than the Sturmpanzer really, or any derp gun for that matter. All derp guns can and will absolutely obliterate tanks far above their own BR.
ooh something the pair with my sav 20.12.48!
Having to hit "soft" spots on tanks with HEAT is just such utter nonsense. HEAT shells cause a rather massive blast on the inside as well as outside of armour plate. Not just a lukewarm stream of copper jello that tickles uncomfortably the crew.
I'm sure it is an understatement, though this should make it effective against the front of the Tiger II H
GrandMoffTano, HEAT is extremely unreliable in the game, sometimes it does something but often the damage replay shows only couple particles hitting modules and making them yellow. Even high calibre shells do this.
This two looks like they will be a fun to play :)
