Cause the other trees aren’t finished, or a abandonned by WG? There’s a french tank tree with 3 med branches, 2 heavies, 2 td and 2 arties. And they cut out some relatively unknow paper projects out of it.

I think Swedish designers forgot they were in post-war Sweden; their megalomania would make Hitler proud.

Many of the designs here will have to have abysmally bad soft stats, smaller guns (where a selection existed), or up-tiered from these proposals to be implemented. My guess knowing WG is few paper/non-production Swedish tanks will be implemented at all.

Regarding the gun you have wrong, the Strv 103 used a modified (longthened) L7 Rifled Gun that Sweden got license to build after they bought the Centurion’s from UK.

The major problem is the aiming by moving hull that must be implemented for the tank to be able to make it into the game, but it is an iconic tank that deserves a place in this game.

*looks at the Ikv 72 pic* ‘dat gun depression’ :P

Overall, I like what I see. Very promising.

Only problem: the S-Tank used a smoothbore gun iirc. This would need to be an early version with a rifled gun in order to be usable in WoT by WG’s standards.

No. L7 Gun is reserved tier 9 and beyond. If you put that gun on tier 8, the sheer shell performance would make it so overpowered that no nerf can possibly make it balanced while still having it be an L7.

I repeat, tier 9+. ESPECIALLY not on a tier 8 light tank. Overpowered as hell even if you give it .5 accuracy, 4s aiming time, and 3 Rds/min. The damage of the gun might seem to make it balanced, and the penetration can be altered by using weaker shells as well, but the sheer shell velocity, accuracy, and ability to react to threats make it one of the best guns at tier 9 and 10.

Another thing to add: many of these tanks will likely end up overpowered. The goal of a hobbyist treemaker for WoT is not to support power creep by adding something that will whop all the others’ asses, but instead something that is as balanced as possible but prone to being outperformed by its already in-game peers. If you do give it a record stat, it needs absolutely shit of everything else to make it underperforming.

And let’s face it, no tanks will be added unless they earn profit for WG.
