"The main drawback that the "S" has recieved critisism for is the inability to fire on the move. There was no technical specification calling for this. The contemporary tanks do have stabilized guns. This is mainly to reduce the time before firing after halting the tank. The comparative tests in 1977 with Strv 101 Centurion, Strv 103 and Leopard 1 showed that if the turreted tanks use their stabilization in a halt-fire drill they are all as fast and accurate. With the stabization disconnected the turreted tanks are not only slower but less accurate as well. When firing on the move the turreted tanks are faster but considerebly less accurate. In all alternatives the time before firing the second round is longer for the turreted tanks."
