To be the first to fire is crucial. As a first class combat vehicle, the
CV90 is compatible with a range of armaments to suit any customer
requirements. The vehicle is normally fitted with a two-man turret
equipped with the well proven 25-35 mm Bushmaster cannon
product range. The platform can support different configurations
such as manned and unmanned turrets and integration of missile
systems. The CV90 incorporates a Munition Programmer for Air
Burst Munition (ABM) and has a target-driven gunner Man Machine
Interface (MMI) and excellent Anti-Aircraft capabilities.
(The Fire Control System autonomously sets):
• Type of ammunition
• Lead- and super elevation angles <--------------
• Fuse setting – air burst, impact or delayed detonation
• Burst- and dispersion patterns
This significantly decreases operator workload allowing the
gunner to focus and engage on commander determined targets,
significantly reducing sensor to shooter time.
The vehicle’s (hunter-killer function) features an independent sight
system for the commander, enabling him to search, engage or hand
over targets to the gunner.
The steel beasts simulator isn’t even accurate. It is FAR more capable IRL. All you need to do is track the target manually for a second, laze it once, and then it tracks on it’s own, with the only input you need to do being to compensate for the gun drifting off target due to the target changing speed and direction. The only difference between that and an IRST is that the IRST automatically compensates for the drifting.
Id love to know the name of this illusive VTM that only the LVKV had because there’s no mention of it anywhere i can find. Saab states its VTM is in service for the UTAAS already. we are talking about a module from 1988 when they fire 5 prototypes we apparently made.
Funny thing is that they mention in a video interview that the gun has been moved forward for it to have higher elevation to better engage air targets… smh gaijin
@Smin1080p_WT can we get a reason as to why the air tracking was denied for the cv9030 MK.IV as it stands right now it seems more like a personal bias towards any of the CV’s since they didn’t even explain why they chose not to add it.
And has been answered on previous CV 90 reports. SAAB UTAS is not the same as the optical tracking feature that other vehicles have in game. Most modern MBTs have a similar basic target tracking sight too, but we do not have this functionality in game.
It can very much be argued that the video tracking is present on the MK.IV though since that is a technical demonstrator and not an in service vehicle. So it’s a different case for the MK.IV.
@Smin1080p_WT can we get an idea as to why the name MK.IV was chosen? Realistically this should have a different name as MK.IV refers more so to the chassis and it would be better to have been named differently. Additionally why was it chosen as a rank 8 or at 10.7 when it fails to be even slightly similar to its counterparts. Vilkas, 10.7 spikes, remote control turret. Same 30mm, rank VII, anti air tracking. Vs the same vehicle but without anti air functions or remote control turrets. Additionally the vehicle seems like a last minute addition as the devs couldn’t implement even the most basic functions of it. So again what makes this vehicles warranted at its BR and Rank if its not even close to its contemporaries.
To me this vehicle seems more so a blatant last minute addition. The vehicle armor clearly is very reminiscent of the CV9035NL so why give us a copy paste when the Devs could’ve bothered reading any of the info from BAE’s own sight.
Its because they know cv90’s are the best ifv’s and are scared that they will simply just be better? so yes simply put neglecting the true power/capabilities of the cv90 to benefit their agenda… thats what it feels like atleast
Where’s the proof of that? I’ve only ever seen the VTM posted for the the Trackfire system which in that case mentions the optional VTM for the Trackfire remote gun station and it’s ability to be integrated into the SAAB’s UTAAS TVM… Why would you need two VTM’s when it can just be integrated into the existing UTAAS video tracking system…? Makes absolutely no sense.
Hilarious really, the only thing stopping me buying the new CV9035DK is the lack of airburst munitions and optical tracking, fine by me, it’s only gaijin loosing out, I’d have it ina heartbeat otherwise.
I never said it needed two?
The slide in the pdf i previously showed has UTAAS as the title and then gives the info that the VTM can be integrated into the UTAAS. The UTAAS is ALSO used for the remote weapon station. so the video module can also be integrated into that if the main vehicle does not have a UTAAS sight.
