Strv 107-12 - Ace Tanker, Defender, High Caliber, Top Gun - World of Tanks

Strv 107-12 - Ace Tanker, Defender, High Caliber, Top Gun - World of Tanks Vehicle Description The Strv 107-12 is a tank destroyer tailor-made for unexpected ambushes, thanks to its excellent concealment and highly effective gun. Much like other Swedish TDs, the gun is fixed to the vehicle's hull, meaning vertical aiming is achieved by using hydraulic suspension to adjust the hull's depression angle. The vehicle can switch between two battle modes, including an experimental one that drastically increases firepower at the cost of mobility. Historical Reference This vehicle was developed from 1967 until 1975 as an alternative to the Strv 103. It was meant to have a 105 mm gun, one Boeing gas-turbine engine, a laser rangefinder, and an infrared surveillance device on a retractable rod. By 1975, the documentation for building a prototype was ready, but after assessing the vehicle's capabilities, the military scrapped the project. Instead, they decided to keep producing the Strv 103, which was already in service.
