Description

The Bandkanon 1C is a rank IV Swedish tank destroyer with a battle rating of 7.0 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Winged Lions".

General info

The weakest area on the front is the Rolled homogeneous armour which has an effictive thickness of 17mm. It protects the transmission and engine. The gun breech is also very weak having only 5mm of steel. It is very easy to take out from the rear as you can take out the gun stopping it from firing. The strongest armour is the turret having 20mm of steel, but no slope.

Armour type:

Armour	Front (Slope angle)	Sides	Rear	Roof
Hull	15 mm	15 mm Top 15 mm Bottom	15 mm	10- 15mm
Turret	15- 20mm Turret front 0 mm Gun mantlet	15- 20 mm	5- 20 mm	15- 20 mm
Cupola	20 mm	20 mm	20 mm	20 mm

Notes:

Mobility

The engine is very strong at 852hp and can reach up to 2800rpm. The maximum speed is 33km/h.

Modifications and economy

All tier one modifications require 6500Rp, Tier II requires 5500rp, Tier III requires 6100Rp, and tier IV requires 16000Rp.

Armaments

The Main Gun is a 155 mm kan m/60 cannon, and has no other armaments.

Main armament

The Main Gun is a 155 mm Kan m/60 cannon. It requires 3.2 seconds to reload and carries 14 rounds. The rounds for the gun are stored in the rear overhang, and the gun has an autoloader. The turret cannot turn and the gun can move 10 degrees horizontally, and can move -2 to 38 degrees vertically.

Usage in battles

The Bkan 1c is primarily a sniper tank being not too heavily armoured. If the rear is exposed it can prove lethal for the tank. Almost all tanks are dangerous to you in the Bkan especially fast moving flanking vehicles as they can hit you from the rear too fast for your gun to turn to engage them.

Pros and cons

Pros:

3,2 seconds autoloader on a 155 mm weapon. There is no other big weapon reloading faster than this currently in the game
All of the ammunition is stored inside the autoloader, so there is no ammo starvation
It is difficult to take this tank out with a single shot with kinetic shells from the front, unless the ammo rack is detonated
HE shells have higher muzzle velocity than the ones of the competition, making them easier to aim

Cons:

Only 14 shots
Poor elevation and depression of the gun, limiting its use as an artillery
Poor gunsight zoom of X4
Armour will not sustain autocannon fire, can be vulnerable to HMG at the close range as well
No turret, which is usually a downside for a tank forced to fight at a close to medium range

History

The Bkan was in service in the Swedish army from 1967-2003. The Bkan 1c was one of the heaviest and most powerful vehicles in use during its service. The initial plans were to produce 70 vehicles, but due to cuts to the defense budget only 26 ended up being produced. Its chassis was based on the Stridsvagn 103 , but with an extra road wheel, and was a bit under powered due to the facts that the Bkan 1c weighed over 50tons.
