Pbv 301: Trading In Those Bicycles

It isnt often that post-war machines feature in War Thunders lower ranks. However, thats what the Pbv 301 is: a vehicle built on the chassis of the decommissioned Strv m/41 tanks with an anti-aircraft cannon stripped from the decommissioned SAAB J21 fighters. The first Swedish APC of the 1960s is coming to War Thunder at rank II as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Unlike many early SPAAGs in the game, the Pbv 301 features a closed fighting compartment with relatively strong protection, and that means enemy fighters will need more than a quick machine-gun burst to take out its main ground-based adversary. The 20 mm anti-aircraft cannon on its special mount has a good rate of fire and can easily bring down aircraft flying at low and even medium altitudes. However, while shooting down aircraft isnt an issue, the Pbv 301 has a much harder time with ground targets due to insufficient penetration of its rounds.

Light tanks and enemy SPAAGs arent a problem, but the best strategy when facing better-armoured adversaries is to knock out their cannon and beat a strategic retreat machine-gun fire isnt a problem for the Pbv 301. On the receiving end, rounds fired by enemy tanks will be the last thing the commander of the Pbv 301 hears in battle the two-man crew tightly packed in with the large engine and ammo rack will be knocked out quickly.

The Pbv 301 is a fast-firing Swedish SPAAG that is well protected against aircraft, making it a trusty companion in a setup for tank and combined battles at ranks IIIII. It will show up in the upcoming major War Thunder update along with dozens of other machines, new game features, and other improvements!
