This guy obviously watches TikTok and regurgitates talking points made by them. Is the Stridsvagn a bad tank? No. But it’s definitely a bad Leopard. Is the ItO a bad SPAA? No. But it’s definitely not the best SPAA. Is the CV 120 or the tank destroyer CV a bad light tank? No. But compared to others, it definitely lacks compared to HSTVL, Centauro, Puma, KF41, and the Israeli thing.
This guy is acting like it’s God tier, when it’s honestly average. I mained Sweden for a long time, it’s a good country, I’m glad I played it, but it is not some God send that is underrated and a secret nation no one knows about.
I do not like the Frogs, but you are honestly better off playing France, because France top tier is basically just Swedish top tier but better. Great dog fighter in the Rafale, with plenty of great jets in the Mirages (delta wings included). You get Leopards, which you already get with Sweden: Stridsvagn and Finnish Leopard 2A6. CV 120? Pretty much Leclerc. ItO 90M, meet ItO 90M.
It’s a good enough leopard, it’s not the best leopard. The armour’s better than the 2a6, which is nice, but the gun’s rough. So it’s a nice trade off. But the 2a7s are just better lol
I still say it’s a bad Leopard. It’s just slightly armoured, but you don’t get any rounds besides stock HEAT FS and APFSDS, while other Leopards have proxies to take out helis.
Ah right, forgot that there are ways of knocking down helis other than beaning them with an apfsds.
If we’re going off stock, yeah, it’s rough. But most things are. If we’re going off spaded, the armour improvement is nice and useful, but if these rounds are missing coupled with the gun just being generally less effective it could be argued it’s a poor leopard.
I do think it’s generally a “good enough” leopard, but not remotely the best leo.
As I said, it’s not a bad tank, just definitely not the best Leopard (and by proxy) not the best tank. I would honestly rather play a Leopard 2A7 over the PS1 thermals of a Stridsvagn. But that requires me to actually want to play a Leopard. Yeah, I disliked the Sherman grind, but the Leopard grind was far worse.
Completely forgot about thermal quality too apparently. I usually just go “this slightly brighter green thing looks scary, hit the middle of it” instead of actually paying attention.* If thermals are better on the other ones then aye, it probably is a bad leo.
*Thermal colour is set to green, easier to spot things
I’m the same way, but once you go clear, you’ll never steer. I don’t know, I just don’t use thermals with the Stridsvagn anymore. It’s kinda hilarious though, I’m a lot better in night maps than day maps for some reason
Missing weapons that are not present in the game at time of introduction is not a nerf, it is an absence of a weapon, otherwise the Rafale is nerfed on account of not being able to carry Meteor in game.
Regardless, I thought this apparent but what that is shorthand for is “Most nations do not receive continued, exclusively negative changes, to established platforms update after update”. Most either stagnate, or have some negatives with some positives. This is very rarely the case for Sweden, primarily in the air capacity for whatever article is peeving people at the time, but it does occur to the IFVs relatively often. Only in this coming update is there a notable positive change to some platforms in the Swedish air line, after multiple updates of unfounded nerfs, and it is quite possible even with the positive change coming there will be negative ahistoric changes.
Unless they’ve neglected the leopards, you can turn off the timed capacity of the round, and it should act as HE. Which leaves the comparison of cannon efficacy unchanged, which means it is still one of the poorer leopards in all facets bar armour.
The examples you used, with the exception of the lack of bol rails, are impeded by the fact the weapons weren’t in game at the time of their introduction, or aren’t in game at all. The weapons listed have been provided, as they were added. But the missing bomb from the 117 you listed just isn’t in game.
The X-Ray on the PROD server is now showing EEGS on the Finnish F-18C. If anyone already grinded the F-18C, please test if gun reticle and gun funnel are now showing.
