(This vehicle was kind of left out unexplained, so i did some text. It's very similar to marders from 7.3 br, which kinda is depressing considering its BR of 2.3, but ok.)
(I added Armour amounts and added a brief history.)

The {{PAGENAME}} is a small box with a sloped front. The driver and the gunner are located on its right front side, while the engine is located on the left. The back has spare magazines on the floor and otherwise is completely empty.

Due to a slope and the 20 mm of RHA, the hull front will sustain 12.7 mm machine guns and might sustain 20 mm fire from the low ground (but not the high ground) or from about 500 m away. The sides and the back are only 8 mm RHA and should not be exposed if at all possible. If it is necessary to flank other tanks and expose the sides, only the left side should be visible, as the engine can sometimes take a hit for the crew.
 
−
 
 
−
It's technically possible to penetrate the gunner cupola, since its edges are only 8 mm thick, but it is very difficult to do without knowing, and most opponents won't have a clue.
 
−
 
 
−
Due to its low profile, {{PAGENAME}} can hide behind other tanks or rocks and only expose the autocannon. In such case, it becomes difficult to destroy the vehicle, as many will aim at the gun itself, but not at the ammo belt, and gun hits won't be fatal, unless made with heavy explosives.
 
−
 
 
−
If everything else fails, this SPAA has smoke screens (which is already incredibly rare for SPAA as a class and won't be expected at all) and there is not just one, but two groups of them as well. These can blind enemy players and disable aim assist in AB after 5 seconds. Unfortunately, it is usually necessary to fire off both groups at once, as otherwise the smoke wall is often incomplete.

The gun is similar to 40B on the previous SPAA, but with a lot of quality of life upgrades.
 
−
 
−
There are now 6 belts with 75 shells each, and the gun can fire twice as fast, allowing for smoother shell streams. The turret turns a bit faster and allows the gun to turn slightly more down or up. All of this ensures that SPAA can take down planes before they get into the dead zone.
 
−
 
−
The gun still can fight back against other tanks, whether by firing at their weakspots, or by breaking their tracks (to force them to turn) and then hitting their side or running away. It is ill adviced to attack medium tanks frontally, particularly of higher BR. Most heavy tanks will ignore the 20 mm fire with the present ammunition. Most British and Soviet tanks at a higher BR are immune to the 20 mm attacks (in the case of the British, even their SPAA are in some situations invulnerable).
 
−
 
−
The downside of the new gun is that the reload now takes 10 seconds, which technically could be avoided on the predecessor by not overheating the weapon. It is better to unload the half-empty belt somewhere safe before trying to attack.

In an anti-tank role, the Pbv 301 is only effective against light tanks, light SPG and SPAAGs, as the frontal armour of most medium tanks at its BR or higher is thick enough to resist 20 mm cannons shells. It is therefore not recommended to play this tank offensively in an uptier, since attacks have to be done from the sides, which is not always possible. Avoid playing super agressive against Soviet or British, which have a lot of tanks being completely immune to the 20 mm.

Usage in battles

The Pbv 301 shall be used mainly as an SPAA. Its cannon with its pinpoint accuracy and a high rate of fire for its BR along the slsgr m/42 HEFI-T belt prove devastating to deal with low-flying planes and bombers. During a game, it is recommended to stay within the confines of your spawn and scout the skies for any aircraft. The high muzzle velocity and rate of fire make this vehicle effective against aircraft at medium ranges.

In an anti-tank role, the Pbv 301 is only effective against light tanks and SPAAGs, as the armour of most tanks at its BR is thick enough to resist 20 mm cannons shells. It is therefore not recommended to play this tank offensively.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Fully-enclosed design, granting the crew a higher chance of survival.
  • Equipped with smoke grenades
  • Low profile
  • Adequate mobility
  • Good rate of fire

Cons:

  • Little armour, effective only against machine gun fire
  • Only 2 crew members, very low chance of surviving a penetration shot.
  • Limited elevation angle
  • Long reload time
  • Limited belt capacity
  • Confined to a strict AA role, inadequate against ground forces

History

The pbv 301 (full name is Pansarbandvagn 301) it was first built in 1961 and removed from service in 1971 when it was replaced by pbv 302. It was built on the chassis from the obsolete stridsvagn m/41 tank.
