I tend to do pretty solid with this tank, I always bring its 4 shell types and full ammo as well to make it work. Bring sabot to face KVs, T34s Churchill and Shermans head on; APHE to kill anything not directly facing you; Standard AP will work for everything else; And HE to shoot eventual opentop or AA
I actually like this tank because at 3.0 it has access to APDS with 179mm of pen, and i usually treat this like a tank destroyer, instead of turning the turret i turn the hull which is a lot faster and with the APHEBC you're using with 88mm of pen you can pen a lot of things with it surprisingly
@ThinkableG123 i can half agree on that, APDS deals great spalling if you shoot the right spot, APDS and HEAT-FS is what you gonna find in mid tier to high tier sweden (Mostly)
swedens low tier apds is honestly really overrated. you get good pen, but most other reserve tier tanks can frontpen everything at its tier like your cannon does. your shell also does less damage than solid ap, and way less then aphe. its really not worth the extra pen.
Try the pvkv 2, its very wobbly but has great firepower, and decent speed, and is great for ambushing and sniping also only bring like 17 shells so none of them are stored in the turret so you can survive more damage
it's a pocket M10, the APHE's 60g of filler is more than most cannons of similar or larger calibre, makes it fairly reliable for a round that doesn't overpressure. The APDS is situationally useful, especially with the short reload, it's not a round that will get you kills but sometimes you and your entire team is getting pushed by a KV-1E and the APDS lets you punish them for their overconfidence. The pvkv iv used to be at a higher BR and the reputation from back then has stuck around. It's absolutely not what would be classified as a good tank at it's BR, but you can also not write it off as a bad tank either. but it is absolutely a difficult, awkward, and uncomfortable tank to play. Personally i would probably called either the Lago I or the strv m/41 II the worst swedish tank as the pen and damage on their cannons is non existent and the APDS shatters at the slightest angle and the APHE shell they get has less pen than some rank 1 french tanks - not super useful if a KV or m4a3 105 decides to turn towards you, and annoying as hell to fight anything else with
This thing has like 4.5 sec reload and mostly fires apds which means that most targets need multiple hits to be killed. I'd say even 29 shells is not enough in this case, he should've brought all 40 with most of them being apds, not just rely on aphe
@@Философ Agree swedes APHE is mediocre at best, they don't deal as much as... say germany, for comparison (smaller cannon) but a 50mm cannon from Panzer III J1 also uses APHE and it's better, 106mm of pen compared to the 88mm of pen the Pvkv IV has.
i have seen many videos now saying its the worst swedish tank in its tech tree and honestly if you cant do anything with that tank , just stick to russians or stop the game all together

@@chokycoki17 yeah but the damage with apds I still fine terrible but didn't actually try it with this

i really hate this tank because of traverse take forever to move
Apd is pretty good, I used it a lot because of the pen and the pen alone, I replaced it as soon as I got the panzer
bro carry less ammo, you not gonna shoot all yours 29 shells, get like 15 to 20 only
