 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (shortened '''{{Specs|pseudonym}}''') was a Swedish light tank developed by AB Landsverk on the basis of the L-60. It was the first variant of the L-60 adopted by the Swedish army. Production name was L-60 S-I, which meant it was the first series used by Sweden. The {{PAGENAME}} was later phased out when the later series were produced from 1939.
-It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as part of the intial set of the Swedish Ground Forces Tree.
+It was introduced along with the initial Swedish ground forces tree in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. Strv m/38 is a light tank with a good mobility and comes with an APDS round which is uncommon for early vehicles; this significantly increases its firepower and makes it more capable of engaging with heavier armoured vehicles.

-The Strv m/38 provides the player with a fast, manoeuvrable light tank boasting effective firepower for its BR. As a light tank, the armour cannot be relied upon to stop enemy fire, being too weak to stop even .50 cal MG fire. However, it has access to APDS, which allows it to punch through all opponents at its BR and even most tanks a rank above. Because of the excellent APDS shell, it is advised to keep it as your primary shell, but keep a few APBC shells to finish lighter opponents as the APDS has poor post-penetration damage.

-Even with weak armour, the Strv m/38 can be reliably depended upon even in uptiers with its speed, and as well as its penetration power (with the APDS shell) matches the likes of the German [[Pz.III]] series. The only drawback to this is the poor post-penetration damage dealt by the APDS shot, which calls for a playstyle relying on well-placed shots on enemy vehicles. This is why it's advised to aim for the turret or engine using the APDS shell when unsure if your APBC shell will actually penetrate at all.
