'S' tank v Chieftain etc

[HogansHeroes]

Exactly, so after reading that article, my gut feeling is the S-Tank should be competitive against early T-62s and T-55s (but outclassed by the T-72 etc.).

I tried a bigger game last night. Two companies of S-Tanks and a Pbv 302 mech company vs two companies of T-62s and a BMP-1 mech company. Things went better for the Swedes this time (mostly because I was smarter in deploying the S-Tanks). That said, it was still very tough when the T-62s got in range. Their 4 save means they can shrug off lots of hits with some good dice rolls. I am still leaning towards the S-Tank should have a 4 save, but I will play test more.

Also from 1984, the S-Tanks apparently got laser rangefinders and FSAPDS ammo. Should their be a post 1984 version on the list with increased range (and/or firepower)?

A possibility - their accuracy was pretty good pre the upgrade due to training - but yes, worth looking at.
