This page is about the Swedish tank destroyer Pvkv II. For other uses, see LT-38 (Family). |
Description
The Pansarvärnskanonvagn II is a rank III Swedish tank destroyer
with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB) and 4.0 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury".
General info
Survivability and armour
The Pvkv II shares the same hull as the Strv m/41, and thus the hull armour is identical. While adequate for the light tank, the armour is no longer sufficient against the considerably greater firepower that the Pvkv II faces.
It also features a massive open-top turret that is very thinly armoured and very vulnerable to even heavy machine guns. The turret, and vehicle in general, is rather cramped, thus a penetrating hit usually results in critical damage to multiple modules and crew members.
Aircraft are also a very dangerous threat, as even light machine guns will shred the crew through the open roof.
Mobility
Game Mode | Max Speed (km/h) | Weight (tons) | Engine power (horsepower) | Power-to-weight ratio (hp/ton) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Forward | Reverse | Stock | Upgraded | Stock | Upgraded | ||
Arcade | 45 | 7 | 12 | 234 | 315 | 19.5 | 26.25 |
Realistic | 41 | 6 | 146 | 165 | 12.17 | 13.75 |
Being based on the Strv m/41, the Pvkv II's mobility is somewhat poorer due to the massive turret and heavy gun mounted. The reverse speed is also quite poor, at ony 5 km/h. It is thus a relatively clumsy and unwieldy vehicle to drive.
Due to the relatively high center of gravity, care must also be taken not to allow the vehicle to roll over onto its side when driving on slopes or making turns.
Armaments
Main armament
The Pvkv II mounts a 7,5 cm lvkan m/37 A anti-aircraft gun modified for the anti-tank role. This gun is quite powerful but has a very low rate-of-fire for its calibre, likely due to the rather cramped nature of the vehicle. The gun mounting is angled downwards, allowing for an excellent 14° of gun depression, though the gun elevation is limited to only 17°. The turret allows for full 360° traverse.
The gun starts with the very mediocre slpprj m/41 uncapped AP shot that has good penetration but tends to ricochet and has rather anaemic post-penetration effects. The gun only starts to really shine once the Tier IV slpgr m/43 APCBC shell is unlocked. With this shell, the Pvkv II gains even better penetration than the Delat Torn and Pvkv m/43. The APCBC shell also has a highly lethal 110 g TNT filler.
The gunsight has a considerable amount of magnification, making aiming at long range targets much easier.

Usage in battles
The Pvkv II is a classical tank destroyer that does best in a good hull-down position where it can snipe at long range. The combination of great gun depression and a fully rotating turret allow for considerably more flexibility than conventional casemate tank destroyers. However, it is a very fragile vehicle, especially to air attacks, and it must be played carefully accordingly. It is especially well-suited to long-range fights due to a combination of a powerful high-velocity gun and good optics, as well as the inherent fragility of the vehicle.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent high-velocity gun once APCBC is unlocked
- Excellent gun depression
- Excellent gunsight magnification
- Fully rotatable turret
- Decent mobility
Cons:
- Poor stock uncapped AP shot
- Slow reload for a 75 mm gun
- Large, very thinly armoured turret with an open top
- Poor reverse speed
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
