Before you say “cope” and call me a cry baby the M-51 is 6.3 and has a longer reload and is bigger and slower so why isnt it at the same Br as the Easy 8 or back to 6.0. before you say something about the armor of the Ikv 103 remember the 76 (w) shermans for the Br they are at have no armor too so yeah this prob will be heavily hated and prob taken down oh well

Last i checked, the shermans cant be 12.7ed or overpressured.
Its a turretless td with a slow gun and paper armor. Its doesnt have to speed/reaction time needed to do well in the current meta.

Okay. Want to try test this? I will take out a sherman and you fire 37mm HE until you kill me.
Then i will take out the ivk and you fire 37mm HE until you kill me.
Open tops are leagues worse vs HE than regular tanks.

Easy: it’s allergic to damage, gets penned by a BESA, and is casemate
Cope, such a cry baby.
37mm? That’s just trying to make you suffer I can’t think of much of anything that uses 37mm besides maybe some CAS or low ter tanks even then the HE is like less then 100 grams (I’m just guessing that)
Also what’s wrong with Casemate tanks? Sure then can be a pain but still there’s good ones like the StuG III and M43/105 or M43/76

stug is just a worse pz4, m43 is fine, nothing special.
Ikv103 is bad. Everyone at the BR is using mgs that can kill you even if you disable the gunner, breach, or barrel. Your velocity is horrific meaning you can’t snipe with it to mitigate that disadvantage.
Its VERY hard for a casemate tank to be overpowered. You are relying on armor in a game where things like hatches or MG ports are insta-kill weak points thanks to APHE.
There are only 3 OP fixed arc tank destroyers in the game, Jpanther, Ho-ri production, and Strv103a. Ironically, they all bring something different than each other. Jpan has one of the best guns of the whole BR range along with good gun depression and a very strong UFP vs the US 76,90 and russian 85mm. The Ho-Ri has absurd speed, armor, and 6 crew giving it maus-like durability with actual speed. The strv103a is the king of long range with darts and lrf along with so many durabliity features. Nothing beats it at range, but its horrific at playing anything like city fighting.

I myself love the Ikv 103. It’s this small little gremlin of a tank, and once you learn how it wants to be played, it’s honestly one of the most fun vehicles around its BR and above.
Foldered to save space o7
It’s got great mobility around 50 km/h forward, and it actually gets there pretty easily once it’s spaded and your driver’s maxed out. You can zip around the map faster than most expect, and the reverse speed of 11–12 km/h makes it super comfortable to back out of situations you don’t want to be in. For a casemate TD, that’s rare.
The reload is decent for a 105 mm, and the gun itself honestly has great ballistics! and it’ll reliably deal with pretty much anything you face. Light tanks just evaporate thanks to overpressure, and you’ve got both the 240 mm HEAT and 400 mm HEAT-FS, so even the heavier stuff like IS-2s, Pershings, and King Tigers can be bullied if you hit them right. The HE round is also hilarious for open tops, score a hit anywhere near them and they’re done.
Armor-wise, yeah… there’s not much to talk about. But you’re not playing it to tank shots anyway. I kinda see it as a mini Ikv 91 with no turret, and that thing isn’t exactly known for its armor either. You’re relying on mobility and positioning, not armor thickness.
Personally, I prefer the Ikv 103 over the Pvkv m/43 (1963) any day. It just feels smoother to play and less awkward at its BR. I usually run it around 5.7–6.7, and the mobility at those tiers is really noticeable. It fits right in, and honestly, it’s hilarious rolling up and lol-penning stuff.
Soo do i think it would suffer if it went up at all? Not really the playstyle is the same, Mobility is great- You will never struggle against penning anything untill like br. 8.0-8.7
As seen its one of my most played vehicles-
A lot of Swedish tanks are genuinely great! But they also tend to have a higher skill ceiling than most nations’ vehicles. They’re usually high risk, high reward — it takes some time to get used to how they want to be played. If you’re not positioned well or don’t have solid cover to make up for the lack of armor, you’ll get picked off fast. But when you do find that sweet spot — when you’re moving smart, keeping track of enemy positions — that’s when they really shine. once you understand its strengths and limits, it feels amazing. And has quickly become one of my favourite vehicles. Along with the Spj fm/43-44
The Strv 103a doesent have Apfsds only Sabot- But i do agree its a great tank
I don’t think the Jagdpanther is OP, Strv 103 is also far too situational.

Same reason the m44 with a derp gun that can 1-tap a Tiger head-on is at 4.0.
Reasons.
I this day and age pretty much EVERYTHING can be overpressured.

Jagdpanther.
My point is that being an opentop makes it way easier to get overpressured since the HE explosion doesnt even need to “pen” you.
