For some reason, Strv 103 is included in the list. Now, both having a gun and hydraulic suspension does NOT make them comparable. The strv 103 was a MBT, while the FV4401 explicitly was not intended for that role but on the other hand was supposed to be air-portable which the 103 has never been accused of. Does anyone have any arguments to keep the strv 103 in the list? BP OMowe ( talk) 02:30, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Med dessa ingångsvärden formerade Sven Berge sina tankar kring nästa generations svenska stridsvagn. Redan 1943 hade han läst i en tysk tidskrift om franska försök 1940 med en vagn som hade en grovkalibrig kanon lagrad i chassit vid sidan av föraren. Försöken, med utgångspunkt i stridsvagnen Char B, visade att riktning av vagnspjäsen i sidled kunde göras hydrostatiskt med hjälp av bandrörelser – överlagringsstyrning.
In short, the designer had read about the Char B's ability to lay the gun horizontally using the tracks through hydraulic steering, and incorporated that with the vertical adjustment from the selfpropelled anti-aircraftgun Luftvärnskanonvagn 42 (lvkv 42, later redesignated lvkv fm/49). Unfortunately I have not been able to locate much about the latter vehicle, as it never entered serial production since the budgetcuts had the army giving other things priority. I can give you some leads though:

With no further replies for almost a year, I'll go ahead and remove the S-tank from the list. BP OMowe ( talk) 20:57, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
None the less, your opinions have been noted, and thus I change the section in a manner I hope will be an acceptable compromise. BP OMowe ( talk) 19:12, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
