Description

GarageImage Lvtdgb m40.jpg


The Luftvärnsterrängdragbil m/40 is a rank II Swedish SPAA with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB) and 2.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury".

General info

Survivability and armour

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Default APC · HEFI-T This belt type works fine, although half of the shots (APC) in this belt is for fighting tanks, while the other half (HEFI-T) is for fighting planes. Use them if you don't know what you'll encounter.
slsgr m/36C HEFI-T · HEFI-T · HEFI-T · APC Versus planes and open combat compartment vehicles. Most planes will only take a few shots before going down.
slhpgr m/43 SAPHEI · SAPHEI · SAPHEI · HEFI-T Best belt type to use against tanks. The SAPHEI shells have decent penetration and an explosive filler.

Usage in battles

Altough being classified as an Anti-Air vehicle, it should be played more as a tank destroyer, due to the guns low rate of fire and the high penetration of its AP shells, taking advantage of most tanks having weak armor at its Battle Rating, even frontally most vehicles arent immune, however, caution is required as the gunner is exposed and is not fast enough to be able to retreat once under attack.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Powerful 40 mm gun
  • Effective in an anti-tank role
  • AP shells have 94 mm of penetration
  • 40 mm HE rounds make short work of enemy planes
  • Very versatile - can take down both tanks and planes

Cons:

  • Slow turret traverse
  • Not very mobile due to it being on a truck chassis
  • 5 man crew of which 4 are in the open - susceptible to strafing enemy aircraft, artillery and machine gun fire
  • No armour protection whatsoever

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
