General information
The Strv m/38 (shortened Strv m/38) was a Swedish light tank developed by AB Landsverk on the basis of the L-60. It was the first variant of the L-60 adopted by the Swedish army. Production name was L-60 S-I, which meant it was the first series used by Sweden. The Strv m/38 was later phased out when the later series were produced from 1939.
It was introduced along with the initial Swedish ground forces tree in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury". Strv m/38 is a light tank with a good mobility and comes with an APDS round which is uncommon for early vehicles; this significantly increases its firepower and makes it more capable of engaging with heavier armoured vehicles.
