 == Description ==
-The '''Luftvärnskanon m/37''' (or Lvkan m/37) is a strong frontrunner for best gun in its class, able to reliably destroy nigh anything it comes across until 5.7. Based on the Bofors 75 mm Model 1929, this gun is easily a highlight of early rank Sweden.

-As mentioned previously, the '''Lvkan m/37 A''' is an incredible weapon that commands the respect and fear of its opponents. It shoots past the competition of its fellow 75's and 76's, and is more comparable to the 90 mm [[90/53 mod.41 (90 mm)|90/53 mod.41]], 88 mm [[KwK36 (88 mm)|KwK36]] and 90 mm [[M3 (90 mm)|M3]] guns, and even then retains some significant advantages. Its standout quality is its Slpgr m/43 APCBC-HE round, with a staggering 940 m/s muzzle velocity, powerful 110 grams of explosive filler and a highly respectable penetration chart. However, until that round is unlocked, the player will have to settle with the quite poor Slpprj m/41 solid shot AP shell, which lacks explosive filler, has a far slower (although still not bad) muzzle velocity, and significantly worse penetration. This subpar round will sting worse when considering the very slow reloading rate of the gun, which will turn destroying enemies into a slog. But if the user can get past that struggle, they will enjoy the best gun that early tier Sweden has to offer.
+The Lvkan m/37 A is a powerful cannon at its BR, with a high muzzle velocity and a powerful penetration.

 * '''Slpgr m/43''': APCBC-HE shell with jaw-dropping characteristics. Incredible muzzle velocity that competes with APDS shells, strong explosive filler allowing for many one-shots, and penetration that allows it to fight two whole BR's above its rank.
 * '''Sgr m/38''': HE shell with poor penetration but lethal explosive filler of 690 g. Seldom worth it due to low penetration combined with slow reloads.

-As mentioned previously, the '''Lvkan m/37 A''' is closer to 90 mm guns than it is to 75 mm guns due to its characteristics, which is especially apparent due to its low BR. As such, the only analogues are guns several BR's higher, and is a relatively unfair comparison.

 * [[90/53 mod.41 (90 mm)|Cannone da 90/53 mod.41]]: The Italian 90 piece lacks the immediate penetration and blistering muzzle velocity, but retains its penetration over longer distances and has slightly better sloped armour penetration along with a better explosive filler.
