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

Pros:

• Still effective in up-tiers, since it has access to a high-penetrating APDS shell with an amazing 105mm penetration and high velocity
• -10 degrees gun depression means that it can adapt different terrains well
• Quite fast and mobile
• Sufficient power to weight ratio ensures mobility on bad terrain
• Good turret traverse speed
• Is a small target
• Fast reload time

Cons:

• Terrible stock grind - APDS is the only acceptable shell for the battle rating, and it is tier IV modification, while the other shells are extremely weak and wholly inadequate for the opponents you will have to face
• Armor is inadequate to resist any shells, even a Pz.II can penetrate it frontally
• Very average reverse speed of -7 km/h
• 9mm roof armour can be penetrated by common aircraft armaments such as 12.7mm M2, and 15mm MG151

History

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.
