Very vulnerable to artillery due to its playstyle, low health and thin hull armor Premium ammo has very low penetration for tier 10 HEAT shell standard APCR has much worse shell velocity than most APCR Relatively sluggish acceleration reaches its top speed only when going downhill Fairly frequent module damage driver dies very often and ammorack damage is frequent Contrasting with its amazing gun depression, it has one of the worst gun elevation in the game (only 10 degrees) will have a problem shooting enemies standing on the high ground Overall mediocre hull armor, the upper plate is unreliable and very weak aside from autobounce angles Lowest HP of all tier 10 heavies (2000 HP) Trollish upper and turret plate can create ricochets Decent accuracy and gun handling, especially compared to its predecessor Second highest top speed for Heavy Tanks (60KM/H) Low silhouette and small size for heavy tank especially compared to AMX 50 B 2nd best gun depression in its entire tier which can make the turret even harder to penetrate Amazing turret armor: when hulldown, the turret will reliably bounce the HEAT shells of a Jagdpanzer E100!

The Kranvagn marks the end of its Swedish heavy line. You can counter this by pointing the gun upwards. Also mind that, when gun depression is used, the turret rear and commander's hatch is exposed which is a weak spot. Exposing your hull will almost always result in a penetration, since it isn't as reliable as the turret front. The aforementioned size together with a tough frontal turret and a solid gun depression plus a decent mobility means that the Kranvagn can be extremely effective in a hulldown spot. Shared with its predecessors thanks to the size, weight and power to weight ratio, it's considered by many to be more of a medium tank rather than a heavy tank. The final advancement of the Swedish turreted tank line. A lightweight chassis was built and tested in addition, a dummy with a turret was produced. The project was based on the French AMX 50. For confidentiality purposes, the vehicle was given an unusual name, KRV, which stands for self-propelled crane (in Swedish).

The Kranvagn is a Swedish tier 10 heavy tank.Ī project for a new vehicle for the Swedish army that started in 1949.
