The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a Swedish medium tank, developed for export to Hungary. However, Hungary chose to design their own medium tank, with the help of Škoda, and the project was cancelled. It was not until later that the {{PAGENAME}} was trialed by the Swedish army and further developed to the [[Strv m/42 EH|Strv m/42]], where it would have a long service life.

The {{PAGENAME}} was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. It has a similar playstyle to an early [[Pz.III (Family)|Pz.III]], being quite fast and manoeuvrable but not having the greatest in terms of firepower output. The {{PAGENAME}} does have access to post-war APDS rounds with great penetration, giving it the upper hand in long-range engagements where its angled armour can protect the vehicle well. The small breech of the vehicle also give it great gun depression, making it able to peek over hills to engage with hostiles without endangering itself.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish medium tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]].

The Lago I is a medium tank one has to get used to. It has a 37 mm gun with a short barrel similar to that of the early Panzer III's [[KwK36 (37 mm)|37 mm KwK 36]], which gives it inadequate penetration against better-armoured targets. Enemy tanks with an effective armour of above 55-60 mm will be a concern against the stock shell slpprj m/38 and the upgraded slprg m/39, but the 3,7cm slpprj m/49 might be sufficient when it is unlocked.
 
−
 
−
The armour of the Lago I might look weak with it being 34 mm maximum at the front, giving it a similar armour to that of a light tank, but it can still bounce shells with its angled armour. Angling the armour gives the Lago I more effective armour than it actually has, which can make it a difficult tank for inexperienced tankers to fight. But even while angled, the Lago I has lots of weak spots in the front where its armour is less than 34 mm thick or is flat, which makes it vulnerable to most tanks at its BR.
 
−
 
−
The Lago I has a great power-to-weight ratio, giving it an excellent acceleration and manoeuvrability. Use its great acceleration to get into positions where the slpprj m/38 and slprg m/39 will actually penetrate the enemy vehicle. The Lago I equipped with slpprj m/49 can pose a serious threat to more heavily armoured vehicles like the [[B1 ter]] and [[M4A3 (105)]] as the sabot has excellent penetration for its BR. However, sabot rounds have poor post-penetration damage and you should therefore aim to disable the enemy crew rather than try to knock out the whole vehicle.
 
−
 
−
The Lago I's engine also allows it to reach its top speed fast, having great acceleration can make a huge different when it comes to survival. Being able to avoid shells with its narrow and small silhouette, it can move around the battlefield quickly like a light tank, however it has one drawback as its limited speed of 45 km/h makes it slower than a light tank, though this is still an adequate speed to move around slower targets and to pose a serious threat. But it also has a slow reverse speed of -7 km/h which makes it harder to hide after peeking around a corner after taking a shot or fire off a shot.
 
−
 
−
'''Enemies worth noting:'''
 
−
 
−
* '''B1 bis/ter:''' Can pose a serious threat to the Lago I if unattended, the B1's 47 mm can penetrate the Lago I if gets into close combat. The 75 mm can also pose a serious threat to the Lago I if the shell hits. If the Lago I is not equipped with the slpprj m/49 APDS round, it will have a struggle to defeat the armour of the B1, specially against the more armoured version Ter which puts the Lago I in a huge disadvantage if fighting in close quarters. If equipped with slpprj m/49, the B1's can be fought at distance where the Lago I will have the advantage.
 
−
* '''[[M4 Sherman (Family)|M4 Sherman]]:''' Low rank Shermans like M4A1 and M4A3 105 can pose a serious threat, having mobility and guns capable of eliminate the Lago I with ease. Their short 75 mm and 105 mm can easily penetrate the Lago I and close range and at distance. These are highly dangerous enemies for the Lago I even if equipped with APDS rounds. The angled armour of the Shermans can easily bounce the 37 mm rounds of the Lago. You must be more careful where you aim when fighting Shermans. But even if the Shermans are a dangerous target, they are not invincible for the Lago I can deliver a well-placed shot, or a flanking manoeuvre could give the Lago the penetration it needs to cause serious damage to the Shermans.
 
−
* '''[[T-34]]:''' T-34 is also one of the tanks the Lago I needs to be wary of, T-34 is a threat for inexperienced Lago I users. The sloped hull of the T-34 can bounce most APDS and APCBC rounds, but the T-34's turret is a weak spot making them less of a threat than Sherman tanks.

−
* Terrible stock grind - APDS is the only acceptable shell for the battle rating, and it is a tier IV modification, while the other shells are extremely weak and wholly inadequate for the opponents you will have to face

−
* Armour is inadequate to resist any shells, even a [[Pz.II (Disambiguation)|Pz.II]] can penetrate it frontally
 
−
* Roof armour can be penetrated by common aircraft armaments such as 12.7 mm M2, and 15 mm MG151

The Landsverk Lago was an interwar medium tank design. It was designed in 1936 as an export medium tank by Landsverk. One prototype was made to be sent to Hungary for trials, but the Swedish government banned exporting military equipment. As such, the Lago was given to the Swedish military for trials. There were six Lago prototypes. The Lago I had a twin 140 hp engine, a crew of five, a 37 mm Bofors cannon, and 3 machine guns. It weighed 15 tonnes. The Lago never reached the production phase, but it became the basis of the Strv m/42, which saw lengthy service in the Swedish military.

−
During the 1930's, the Swedish Landsverk company, like many other European arms manufacturers, wished to capitalize on the growing tensions on the continent in order to secure new production and licencing contracts. Among the most profitable markets was the one for new armoured fighting vehicles. As a result, Landsverk began developing a whole range of new combat vehicles during the 1930's, aimed solely at the export market.
 
−
 
 
−
Among them was the L-60 light tank, whose basis Landswerk used to develop the larger and heavier Lago tank. While the L-60 saw some commercial success, the Lago tank received little interest from foreign customers. However, after some time passed, the Swedish military changed their doctrine and sought to procure a medium tank themselves. Given that Landsverk already developed the Lago, Swedish military officials turned to the company with the orders to further develop the design.
 
−
 
 
−
In the end, the Lago tank went through multiple prototype stages and was ultimately used only as a testbed for the development of the subsequent Strv m/42 and Pvkv m/43 tanks. The vehicle never had any production orders and didn't take active part in any conflicts. Due to its design however, the Lago I can be seen as the first true domestically built Swedish medium tank.

Description

GarageImage Lago I.jpg


The Lago I is a rank II Swedish medium tank with a battle rating of 2.7 (AB/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.

Armaments

Main armament

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Advise about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

  • Still effective in up-tiers, since it has access to a high-penetrating APDS shell
  • APDS can penetrate 105 mm of armour

Cons:

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.
