Some things that I didn't include in the video as I felt they were too in depth and stopped the flow of the video:

HEAT will go straight through the UDES 03 and Strv 103-0. This is because HEAT doesn't care about the angle, but with AP and APCR the armour will work how I said in the video. The Strv 103B has a HEAT shield at the front (the fence looking thing) which will help stop most of this frontally.
At 26:24 you can see the tank wiggle and I complain about it. This is when you sometimes aim in siege mode, and it moves the tank, it just starts shaking from side to side. You can stop this by pressing forwards or backwards, but it's still incredibly annoying.

As always, you can watch the gameplay segments of these videos live over on my Twitch every Friday: https://twitch.tv/maxgamingfps

I’m seriously loving the way you’re adding more of your unique humour to these videos without making them cringeworthy ❤

Btw ikv 103 has 400mm pen irl with its heatfs

Bad take at the start tbh. The tier 5 is hilarious, because it's basically short range artillery with good mobility, tons of camo and great gun depression. It's so easy to abuse terrain and lob arched shells over distance without the enemy being able to shoot back. The atrocious shell velocity is not a problem, it's the best feature that works because people at tier 5 don't pay attention.

note for who is new to this line:
1. you dont need to be in siege mode to fire, you can fire on the move. Mind that if you have to dogfight or retreat.
2. With udes, when switch to siege mode, look all the way to the ground, this will "lift" you up pretty much, even double your tank height. Use you imagine to find you sweet place.

A good thing to know on the UDES 3 is that if you aim all the way down in siege mode, the rear of the tank rises, giving you more height if you need it. Just look up to reset that when you fire.

The first time I saw the armour on those tier 5-7 tanks I nearly choked on my cookie...
Love the video mate, keep it up!

i love the strv 103b

Was playing the Caliban yesterday, you want to talk about SHELL VELOCITY, load the HE... 354 m/s...

WHUT THE HELL

I won't have you talk to my boy Ikv 103 like that, he's only small. I still love him despite his flaws.

Also I've had a few tank outline bugs recently as well, particularly one where it just disappears completely. Was in a situation where I was in a line of bushes and I stopped shooting a tank approaching me because the outline disappeared, and I died as a result. Doesn't happen often, but often enough to be annoying

That caught me by surprise, gotta hit the apply button asap!

love the energy!

Don't know how different the tier 5 was when the video was made, but now it's insanely good, not only do I get accurate snipes with it, I can reposition and push onto an enemy position faster than most mediums and some lights on my team

Max you make all these tanks look so easy to play, I've just grinded up to the UDES 03 and it has been so stressful especially during this 2.0 update haha

I absolutely love this series.  They make my day

The tier 5 was pretty great with the old HE actually, used to love it and hated the tier 6. Tier 3 was nice too,back when those where actually played and playable that is lol. The tier 7 was also dreadful, tier 9 too, but I absolutely love the tier 8, and tier 10 is pretty good too though I enjoy the tier 8 way more, the gun moving vertically is a big deal and adds a lot of flexibility because you often don't need siege mode when maneuvering and/or running, racking up kills in the end of the game, brawling with heavies, the bigger ones not being able to even shoot down at you, also allows ridgelne peeking too which I don't see many people know of or using, including you, it's very fast and well camouflaged too, and tier per tier it has the best penetration in the game. Tier 11 I don't have yet and idk if I will ever get it given actually playing the game nowadays feels like torture and I quit it after the HE nerf

yeah the tier 9 and 10 are crazy, even on bad maps for them. It happens a lot that I get a city map only have like 2 shots, than I get to their base and suddenly I'm at 3k damage cause of all the campers that were sitting there

Oh i remember trading my ST II for this and i did that cuz i didnt enjoyed the strv line like i was stuck on tier 6 and i loved the ST II line it is realy great and underated tank anyway the strv is one of my favovrite tanks in game and now its  getting tier 11

We called the Ikv 65 a juicebox, coz if you stand it on its rear, it looks like one. And the armour is reinforced cardboard too.

i might be the only person who loves ikv103, i even use the heat gun. zooming around ridges and catching people off guard with that 300 is very satisfying
