Usage in battles

When playing with Strv 39 Td especially at up tiers you cant take shots from enemy. The best tactic for the Strv 39 Td is to flank enemies and stay hidden. The tank has an amazing shell. Its apds (armour piercing discarding sabot shell) can penetrate up to 104 mm of armour.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Still effective in up-tiers, since it has access to a high-penetrating APDS shell with an amazing 105 mm penetration and high velocity
• Amazing -15 degrees gun depression means that it can adapt different terrains very well
• Fast reload, up to 3.1 seconds with an ACE crew.
• Decent turret armour, offering up to 35mm at the front and with sloping for increased protection.
• Fast top speed up to 45 km/h
• Is a small target

Cons:

• Only 3 crew members
• Armour is inadequate to resist high-penetrating shells, for example a Pz.II can penetrate it frontally
• Slow turret traverse speed with 11.2°/s
• Very average reverse speed of -7 km/h
• 5-8 mm roof armour can be penetrated by common aircraft such as ones with 12.7 mm M2, and He 112 A-0
• Purple stripes may be eye-catching, decreasing its concealment
