World of Tanks, Patch 1.24: How The Lätt Stridsfordon 120 has been changed
The Lätt Stridsfordon 120 is a Swedish tank destroyer, with a special mechanic: the hydropneumatic suspension activated by button. This mechanic allows you to switch between two modes: the normal mode and the siege mode. In the normal mode, you have a good mobility and a decent firepower, but a low accuracy and a high dispersion. In the siege mode, you have a reduced mobility and a limited traverse, but a higher accuracy and a lower dispersion. You can use these modes to adapt to different situations and tactics on the battlefield.
