Description

General info

The weakest area on the front is the Rolled homogeneous armour which has an effictive thickness of 17mm. It protects the transmission and engine. The gun breech is also very weak having only 5mm of steel. It is very easy to take out from the rear as you can take out the gun stopping it from firing. The strongest armour is the turret having 20mm of steel, but no slope.

Usage in battles

The Bkan 1c is primarily a sniper tank being not too heavily armoured. If the rear is exposed it can prove lethal for the tank. Almost all tanks are dangerous to you in the Bkan especially fast moving flanking vehicles as they can hit you from the rear too fast for your gun to turn to engage them.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 3,2 seconds autoloader on a 155 mm weapon. There is no other big weapon reloading faster than this currently in the game
  • All of the ammunition is stored inside the autoloader, so there is no ammo starvation
  • It is difficult to take this tank out with a single shot with kinetic shells from the front, unless the ammo rack is detonated
  • HE shells have higher muzzle velocity than the ones of the competition, making them easier to aim

Cons:

  • Only 14 shots
  • Poor elevation and depression of the gun, limiting its use as an artillery
  • Poor gunsight zoom of X4
  • Armour will not sustain autocannon fire, can be vulnerable to HMG at the close range as well
  • No turret, which is usually a downside for a tank forced to fight at a close to medium range

History

The Bkan was in service in the Swedish army from 1967-2003. The Bkan 1c was one of the heaviest and most powerful vehicles in use during its service. The initial plans were to produce 70 vehicles, but due to cuts to the defense budget only 26 ended up being produced. Its chassis was based on the Stridsvagn 103 , but with an extra road wheel, and was a bit under powered due to the facts that the Bkan 1c weighed over 50tons.
