When you think of traditional WW2 tanking powers, you think Germany, America, Russia... and Sweden?

Wikipedia doesn't list too much in the category "Tanks of Sweden," but it's apparently enough for Wargaming. The first entry, the Stridsvagn m/42-57 Alt A.2, has made its debut as a Tier VI medium premium tank in Update 9.16, with 19 more Swedish tanks to follow by the end of the year.

Update 9.16 also brings a new Paris map for random battles and includes such iconic landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, Seine River bank, and Théâtre national de Chaillot. Improvements to the sound system for high calibers and damage received, as well as better minimaps and improved interface also are also include in the update, which is now live in North America and Europe.
