Pvkv II stock shell is soo inefective
I shot a T-34 right on the loader and it only turned it red ...
"Skill IsSuE" I shot another T-34 and it only turned his loader orange , With all the shrapnel

With Swedish ammo anything with 2 p's in the name is likely going to be super unreliable, like the slpprj m/43 shell which (I think?) is the stock round for the Pvkv II.

It has terrible post-pen damage even for uncapped AP.

Luckily, you also get to shoot 75mm APHEBC every 10 seconds once the tank is spaded. At that br range, that's a very dangerous round :fh4dangersign:

edit: correction

Yep, stock grind on Pvkv II is hell

My suggestion is to get the APHE ASAP. Makes the tank go from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to amazing immidietly

Luckily, you also get to shoot 57mm APHEBC every 4 to 5 seconds once the tank is spaded. At that br range, that's a very dangerous round :fh4dangersign:
I know that the PKVK 2 has a semi autoloader but it's when it's spaded that it work?

Nay, It's a been a minute since I've played them. The pvkv 3 has the 4 second reload. The pvkv 2 has 10 second

Yeah I know but the PVK 3 /2 is meant to have a semi autoloader?

Not a skill issue. You probably did kill the loader. The breech protected the gunner.

Stick with it, you will get your APHE ammunition sooner or later, it will be worth it. That APHE round has over 100g of filler, it will one-shot many vehicles. My Pvkv II is one of my highest scoring vehicle. It is one of the best snipers in the game.:mortis: Be patient, you will get there.

Sort of.

The pvkv II is basically a Swedish Marder but with vastly better response time.

The Pvkv III is the one that (effectively) has an autoloader.

It was so broken on release that it's the only vehicle that I can remember that got moved +1.3 br in a single patch cycle (2.7 to 4.0).

edit 2.7 not 2.3

Now, I have never fielded nor crewed the IS-2. The reload times are too long for me.
