Armaments

Main armament

The Strv m/41 S-II is a moderate cannon for its battle rating with a good reload speed. Possibly the best-penetrating round for this vehicle is the 3,7 m/49, however, when used correctly, the m/39 may be a more potent option.

Additional armament

Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.

Machine guns

Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.

Usage in battle

As a light tank with a moderate cannon, this tank works best from ambush positions early in the match. Attempting to charge at enemies head-on will likely result in early elimination with only one shot.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Access to high-penetrating APDS projectile
• Decently good gun, in particular with APDS, in up-tiers compare the Pz.38(t) F
• Effective armour against enemies encountered during down-tiers
• Decent gun depression -15°

Cons:

• Low survivability, with small crew department
• Low versatility similar to the Pz.38(t) F
• APDS is a tier IV modification

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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