In any scenario. the 103 doesn’t have a turret and has to use hull aiming which is awful on flat ground and unusable on a slope.
Oh right, I forgot I’m arguing with players that drive their sniper tank straight into the open then complain when they die.

I’m sorry but maps in ground battles aren’t exactly well made.
They got rid of almost all sniping spots, leaving only spawncamping area available.

lol, this thing can be immobilised so easily, all you gotta do is take both its tracks and go around it for the killshot
“just shoot his toes and give backshots bro”
bullshit claim from you, one of the easiest tanks to get rid of, especially the 103c

How is that what you took away from the fact that hull aiming is still not fixed and shit? It seems i forgot that i’m talking to a simpleton that can’t understand that having a tank that can only do one thing moderately well doesn’t make it good.

Lmao.
Just ignore the dude.
His response to me saying you can one tap them with the 152mm heat from the m60a2 at 8.3 was to say i have skill issue.
He reported my post as spam.
Weak sauace man what you said is what you said.
Yes, it’s a massive killer, I have 560~ some odd kills and only around 320 deaths. That’s all pre 9.0, it’s still not bad at 9.0 at all, just means you can use the Lansen for CAS without dragging things to fighting 2S38’s without reason.
2s38 is 10.3 last i checked so you cant see it 9.0 anyways with the s tank
I used to see it all the time
Its been 10.3 for quite some time now mate.
The S tank being 8.7 as well until.now couldn’t possibly have seen the 2s38
I would bring it to 9.0 with the A32A because I didn’t have the 105 unlocked.
You really maxed out your brainpower there.
It is my most played tank. with over 700 battles in rb in it alone, and another 100 in sim. It is an absolute beast when the winds blow in your favor, otherwise youll get slapped and deleted by just about everything.

The Strv 103s are very VERY Situational they do not do well in close Quarters or on the move especially well-
Long Range is fine of you arent on a hill leaning left or right-
The Strv 103C is fine where its at there are more capable Tanks at the same BR
This thread seems to be distinctly people who have played it and people who have not played it, and it very much shows. I see a lot of people saying that the STRV 103C is OP and hard to counter, who have clearly never played it and/or simply don’t know how to fight it. The STRV 103 in general is very strong solely on the defense, and is average to mediocre when it needs to move or turn at all. A track shot or lower front plate shot will almost always leave almost defenseless for upwards of 20-30 seconds. Most howitzer vehicles can kill or disable it with any shot to the front or roof (besides the C since the picket fence lol). The 103 is strong but it’s hardly OP in any regard even for 7.0 vehicles so long as you can identify if it’s on the field and where. Although then again, I think a lot of people are fighting it head on or getting caught off guard and then calling it OP.
The 103C gets basically a dart round with less pen and a little more post-pen than the stock APDS for the 8.0 103A. Then it gets the heat fence on the top that is handy but doesn’t do a whole lot to protect against anything but heat and HE rounds. There’s also the better engine performance but like I’ve said before, if you are needing to move around in this thing you’re already gonna be at a disadvantage. A full BR higher for fairly meh APFSDS is kind of awful. Especially since you have stuff like the M41D in the Chinese tree with a dart and scout drone at 8.0. (Which frankly that thing kind of isn’t that good but it can frontally pen and destroy the 103C without any issue so it’s just a good example of a lower BR vehicle demolishing a higher BR one.)

it should not move to lower br that thing will op against other 7.7 at full down tier !
9.0 is fine br for it 4s reload time with laser range finder it’s really good !
personally i think ground RB need to get higher br instead of 12.7 to 14.0 and gajin moves these 9.3+ to 10.0+ brs.
4 second reload time for a casemate in a BR where everything has a stabilizer and can frontally pen it? It’s not unique in that regard, and the laser range finder is found at lower BRs. Have you played it? You realize it can’t even turn it’s cannon, it has to move the entire vehicle often times in a fashion that can expose it. The only time it’s truly powerful is in a hull down position looking at a small portion of the map, otherwise it may need to move or expose it’s side to a flank.
Then we can talk about how it’s atrociously vulnerable to missiles and airborne targets.
