[Development] Ikv 103: HEAT mortar

The Ikv 103 self-propelled artillery unit will replace the Swedish SPGs of the Second World War period in the game. It will become one of the main vehicles for battles at low rank

The Ikv 103 SPG will appear in our game at rank III of the Swedish armoured vehicle research tree. The armour on this SPG, even disregarding the bulletproof armour of the fighting compartment roof, leaves much to be desired and can be penetrated by literally any opponent. Unfortunately, the stock armour-piercing rounds and high-explosive fragmentation shells are far from highly effective. They cope rather poorly with medium tanks and light vehicles, but heavy tanks, such as the Soviet KVs or the British Churchill tanks, are a real problem for them. HEAT shells are available from stock and are capable of penetrating up to 240 mm. But itll change, when research on the fantastic HEAT shells with 400 mm of armour penetration on a normal impact is complete! Then, the respectable elevation angle limits (-16/+20), smart positioning, and camouflage allow it to overcome even the most stout enemies. The main point is to try and take out an enemy tanks ammo rack or disable its armament. But the complex ballistics of the 105 mm howitzer does not allow the vehicle to shoot at long range, and the powerful HEAT rounds must be aimed very carefully.

In other words, while this vehicle has some serious disadvantages, it also has some significant advantages and is definitely worthy of attention. These SPGs and other fascinating tanks in Sweden's research tree await you in the beta test for Swedish ground vehicles in the upcoming 1.97 update. Keep an eye out!
