The Strv 105 is an upgraded variant the [[Strv 104]], based off the [[Centurion Mk 10]]. With the new upgrades it has such as thermal imagine and m/90C APFSDS, you can defeat the toughest of MBTs and including some generation 3 MBTs, such as the [[Leopard 2A4]], [[M1 Abrams]] and [[T-72 (Family)|T-72]]/[[T-80 (Family)|T-80s]]. It is best to snipe from a position where the enemy can't see you as m/90c has enough penetration over range to penetrate enemies from a distance, as your armor isn't really strong against other opponents. While you do have an upgraded engine, you're still a bit sluggish than most of your NATO counterpart and vehicles such as the [[XM-803]] or [[Leopard 1A5]] can beat you in mobility terms. It's best to try to stay cover to cover when moving. Defeating generation 3 Main Battle Tanks in uptiers can be done but due to their mobility and gun handling control being more advanced, they will have a better reaction time than you. A few tanks should be taken into account though.

Usage in battles

The Strv 105 is an upgraded variant the Strv 104, based off the Centurion Mk 10. With the new upgrades it has such as thermal imagine and m/90C APFSDS, you can defeat the toughest of MBTs and including some generation 3 MBTs, such as the Leopard 2A4, M1 Abrams and T-72/T-80s. It is best to snipe from a position where the enemy can't see you as m/90c has enough penetration over range to penetrate enemies from a distance, as your armor isn't really strong against other opponents. While you do have an upgraded engine, you're still a bit sluggish than most of your NATO counterpart and vehicles such as the XM-803 or Leopard 1A5 can beat you in mobility terms. It's best to try to stay cover to cover when moving. Defeating generation 3 Main Battle Tanks in uptiers can be done but due to their mobility and gun handling control being more advanced, they will have a better reaction time than you. A few tanks should be taken into account though.

T-72B, T-72B (1989): These Soviet MBTs have their armor increased on the frontal hull and with the 1989 variant featuring Konkakt-5, it will be impossible to kill them from the front except for a few weakspots. It's best to aim for the lower front plate and the driver port.

Challenger Mk.2/Challenger Mk.3: The turret of these British tanks will be nearly impossible to penetrate at range, and how the composite plates are angled. The lower hull can be penetrated though, especially around the driver port or the lower front plate.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Access to m/90c (DM63) with more than enough penetration.
  • Thermal Imaging sight.
  • Better engine than its previous variant.
  • ERA stops most HEAT-FS.
  • Stock APFSDS

Cons:

  • Mobility is subpar compared to other counterparts.
  • Weak armor against most APDS/APFSDS, even from Soviet APHE
  • Vehicle lineup is subpar, often uptiering 8.3 vehicles.
  • Generation 3 MBTs may be difficult to deal with in uptiers.

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.
