Ikv 103 tank description for WOT
Playing the Ikv 103 on the Prokhorovka map in World of Tanks requires a good understanding of both the strengths and weaknesses of your tank destroyer and the unique characteristics of the map.
The Ikv 103 is a Swedish Tier V tank destroyer, known for its high-velocity gun with excellent penetration, good accuracy, and high camo values.
Tank destroyers (TD), are specialized armored vehicles built specifically for taking out heavily armored tanks. On the mini-map they are indicated by a green or red inverted triangle.
The Ikv 103 lacks a turret, so the gun has limited left to right movement: it requires turning the vehicle’s hull, which results in slower aiming and camouflage penalties. It has very thin armor and mediocre health points which means it will lose in almost any direct confrontation. Snipping is not advisable either because of the poor shell velocity and accuracy.
You get 2 guns to choose from, the kan ikv 102 and 103. The 103 is just a bit better.
So how to we play Ikv 103 on the Prokhorovka map?
First let’s have a look at the official World of Tanks video explaining the Prokhorovka map. You should focus on finding positions that allow you to engage enemies from a distance, where your good penetration can be utilized and your weak armor won’t be a major liability. This means you should stay near the edges of the map, hiding in bushes.
