Will bounce some powerful shells every so often. No tank at this BR can absorb that kind of penetration.

In realistic and simulator mode, the missile is guided by the tank movement keys of, ,, and. Once depleted, the missile will gradually reload to refill the launch racks. The guidance system is sensitive as such it is not recommended to rapidly swing the crosshair around during the missile trajectory to keep it stable and on track. Simply aim the crosshair onto the desired target and the missile will adjust to fit into the crosshair. In arcade mode, the missile guidance system is relatively uncomplicated in aiming. The missile have a trajectory of going up for a distance before leveling, creating a "dead zone" of up to 200 m that the missile cannot adequately engage in. Three are available for immediate usage and are guided by a MCLOS system. The SS.11 missiles attached to the right side of the Strv 81 turret provide up to 600 mm of penetration upon impact, making all but the most deflected shots potent to any targets. With the high amount of penetration available on the SS.11 missiles, even a glancing hit can do massive damage to the hit enemy tank. Prop up the Centurion in a well fortified and safe location and use it as a base of fire and launch missiles onto the enemies' front or sides. The addition of the ATGM means the Strv 81 has the potential to act as a long-range support vehicle from the rear lines or the flanks. In a head to head situation with an enemy tank approaching try to angle the Strv 81 not more than 5° degrees to either side since the side armour is quite weak (50.8 mm), try to hide the lower front plate which is a massive weak spot, while reloading turn the turret 10° to the right to maximize chances of bouncing shots (right side of the turret front has some extra armour) and keeping the gunner alive. However, aside from the gun, the Strv 81 has access to three potent anti-tank guided missiles. Even the front plate of the mighty Tiger II is not able to stop this APDS shot if not angled and the range is shorter than 100 m. Keep in mind though that the front plate of the T-44 is angled at 60°, so it bounces even this powerful APDS shot quite often. T-44s and Panther IIs front plates can be penetrated to ranges up to almost 1,000 m. The amazing penetration characteristics of this APDS shot enables this gun to pierce front plates of all Panther models (apart from the Panther II) to ranges up to 2,000 m. 1 (APCBC) works in most situation as well but lacks penetration compared to the Mk. The best choice to pierce enemy tanks is obviously the Shot Mk.3 (APDS) although it is quite expensive in terms of Silver Lions. The next shots should again disable the gun of the enemy, now finish the prey by shooting all crew members or, if feeling lucky, shoot an ammo rack. If an enemy is spotted who is exposing their side or even the rear while not aiming towards the Strv 81, shoot the engine first to immobilize and possibly even ignite the enemy tank, preventing him to take cover. Now utilize the quick reload to take out one crew member after the other to finish off the opponent. If an enemy tank is spotted that could be a potential threat, pop out a little bit and start to take out the enemies gunner/cannon barrel/cannon breech to prevent him from returning fire. Once in position, one should use the binoculars to scout for enemies without exposing the turret. More advanced tankers can utilize the not too impressive max speed (35 km/h or 22 mph) to move with this medium tank into the flanks of enemy tanks (close to the border of a map) and search for positions like hills and ridges where one can make use of the amazing -10° gun depression to hide the vulnerable lower plate of this tank. If one wants to keep it simple, just use the powerful gun to snipe from distance. It is an effective medium tank if played to its strengths. The Stridsvagn 81 is essentially the Centurion Mk 3.
