40mm L60
I was using the Lvtdgb m/40 & L-62 ANTI II and then tried the Crusader MK 1 and thought "Jesus the traverse speed is pretty bad for the Swedish turrets despite being pretty much the same Mounting. So I started digging and found this a ww2 era bofors gun. shown by ForgottenWeapons

Notice how it spins much faster than the in game French & Swedish 40mm L/60 turret. Now I don’t know if its the same with the M19 & M49 gun motor carriages. But if it is patching it would improve the players ability to Acquire & track enemy planes. Needing to turn the Whole vehicle can potentially reveal the position of the player. This is especially bad for the Lvtdgb m/40 & CCKW 353 AA. That are Truck mounted. so fixing this would help tremendously with that.
2nd issue
The current situation in war thunder
Currently the French AMX-13 DCA 40 has the Correct stats for the Bofors L70 gun with the Correct Explosive & Normal mass + shell velocity 1005 for the HEFI-T and 1025 for the AP-T I looked at the Manual and compared it to the Shells of the DCA 40. And Im confident they are the same
Current in-game 40mm L70 ( Lvakan m48 )
Compare game Lvakan m48(L70) to game Lvakan m36 (L60). They will have the same ammunition Models.
Although the AP ammunition on the Lvakan m48 (L70) Not having the correct calibre & Not having the correct Velocity. It could penetrate 80mm of flat face Armor at 100m. Same as the French ammunition.
Ammunition Training & War
Originally chambered in 40×365mmR(L70). It could be chambered in the cheaper 40×311mmR During Training (See Source 1 at 6:54-7:01). However this was Only During Training to reduce costs. This required changing Several parts to work. So you could not just load 40×311mmR in a belt of 40×365mmR (This goes both ways).
Consequences of this change
This means that the SAPHE-I (L-60) could not be Fired from the Lvakan m48 without preparation (See Source 1 7:01- 7:10). This means that the SAPHE-I ammunition has to be removed from both the Lvkv 42 & VEAK 40.
New ammunition possibility
Sabot Munitions was developed for the Lvakan m48. It could Penetrate 120 mm of armour at right angle impact and 30mm at a 60 degree angle. This Ammunition could be added to the Lvkv 42 as well as the VEAK 40.
Now if Sabot was added for the Lvkv 42 it would likely go to 6.3 at least therefore Sweden will need SPAA Vehicles at 4.7 - 5.7 Look at the Lvkv m/43 variants. But the VEAK 40 would probably stay at its current br or maybe with a slight br increase. frankly its a wonder how its at 8.7 to begin with but with this addition its should be justified. Maybe it will become the next Itpsv 90. hehe anyway have a nice continued day and until next time see ya guys!

Message from Karnitin75.
