Pbv 301: Trading In Those Bicycles


[quote=author] The first Swedish tracked armoured personnel carrier, built on the chassis of the Strv m/41 light tank. [/quote]

Pansarbandvagn 301, SPAAG, Sweden, rank II


steamthumbsup Rapid-fire automatic cannon steamthumbsup Closed fighting compartment steamthumbsdown Two-man crew 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!

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.

You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!

In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.

Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.

War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.

  • Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
  • A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
