Play to that strength then and task reorganize them into Battalion size units that are task organized down to the Company and Platoon level for the Tank Destroyer / Assault gun mission.
If I was Sweden this would be on my keep list with a look to upgrading the gun to an Israeli or Rheinmetal 120mm (with a look to the future 135mm). The Commander station should receive a fully rotating cupola with atleast a .30 gpmg, separate commanders thermal sight, and a laser rangefinder / designator.
I would go so far as to add a coaxial 25mm or 35mm to the main gun for targets like BMPs and other IFV maximizing the Main gun load in APFDS.
The Commander could then also call very accurate defensive artillery fires to engage targets before giving his own away and outside his own main gun range.
The Armor should focus on the Leopard 2 and organize themselve that way.
How fast is the autoloader on the S-tank. Without a turret and those complications I would think the S-tank would have pretty high ROF

Not bad idea's on the whole, but for one thing.
There isn't room for all that. The S Tank is very small. Fitting a 120 is a possible, but only just - with your ammo load being very small - small as in 20 rounds max. And OWS - sure. Coaxial automatic cannon? No way. Just not that big a tank alas.
