CV 90 MK.IV data and discussion

What books? :)
I’ve been thinking about getting the “CV90 photo guide” book from “Svensk PansarHistorisk Förening” for a while :P

Thats one of them but i also ordered “Svenskt Pansar…” and reached out to an old friend who might have some more books about it

Brilliant <3 I hope you find something :) (also just nice to have in general, it’s one of my favourite military vehicles)

If possible, could you confirm or deny the missing spall liner covering the small plate into the fighting compartment from the engine room.

Right side of fighting compartment, in front of the gunner. Seems extremely strange that plate is left out.
And in game the 10mm RHA plate that exists there serves only to create additional spalling into the fighting compartment.

Where are you referring to on this image of the liner:

cv9040c spall liner – Kopi

Well, by that very lonely bit side by side by the drivers viewport, seems like such an odd layout. why would you put a liner the size of a glove right there and not actually encase the fighting compartment.

Still, even without spall liner, lining the that part the 10MM rha plate doubles the spall into the fighting compartment.

New bug report on the front plate being incorrectly positioned.

This one was already accepted but has also yet to be fixed yet.

i will take a look once i have them

Thank you, It just does not seem to make any sense to me, perhaps it is as such because they believe the engine + the plate that seperates the two compartments would be enough to stop any rounds/shrapnel entering the fighting compartment.

I believe a round through the glaci plate, engine block + the RHA wall would be enough to severly deteriorate the punching power of any round going through all of that, but that might be just me.

The CV 90 Photo Guide book was sold out and is very VERY difficult to get a hold of, there are only a handfull left out in physical museums for sale, i have e-mailed a few of them but we will see, in the mean time i ordered these two as complementary:

CV 90 Swedish Infantry Combat Vehicle - www.stenvalls.com
CV 90 Swedish Infantry Combat Vehicle - Tankograd International Nr. 3

CV 90 International - Tankograd International Nr. 4

There were more on the website but January is the “poor” month here so i better hold on to my wallet abit :D, will probably order two more next month or so.

Very understandable, and again i must say, your efforts have not gone unnoticed and it’s highly appreciated.

Hopefully the decision makers will act upon all the information provided here sooner rather than later.

Hello, just discussion … the name CV90 mk. IV is so universal name … I think come in future maybe upgrade for this vehicle 35mm gun or something and player can choose what want 30mm with more ammunition in belt or 35 with less ammunition in belt … with no BR change… or something more crazy upgrade to 50mm … with BR change … what do you think about this idea ? I know this mechanic is not right now in the game … thanks … and one more this is just idea

Unsure of quite exactly what you’re asking but if it is something akin to renaming the current Cv90 MK IV to something like the “CV9030 Mk.iv” this idea has already been proposed.

But I think most of us agree this would be proper for a few a reasons.

  1. It follows the naming convention of previous Swedish armoured fighting vehicles.
  2. It allows for others in the Mk.iv family to be introduced as their own vehicles with all turret and/or caliber variations without having to share the exact name.
  3. It is more visible and easily recognizable to which variant is being referred.

Yes you are right… is much easier change the name 😂

I don’t know if it would be classed as “official”, but Gszabi is calling it the “CV90 MkIV (E30)” in his latest datamine suggesting that that’s the name it has in the files if that would perhaps clear things up in which exact model we have in game.

I’ve never heard of a Mk4 with that sort of designation, but I guess it’s at least something?

Well, that would make sense as it uses the E-series turret with a 30MM cannon instead of the newer D-series turrets. so thats good.

That should also mean it is a confirmation that gaijin realises themselves this is not the only variant of the Mk.iv and we will possibly in the future get something like a MK.iv D35,D40 or D50.

Yeah but the problem is will they also be broken beyond belief? I have no interest in the D model turret with the 50mm if its going to be a broken and buggy mess. Again they have yet to fix a single thing and the weight. Do we even need to talk that they are willing to die on the hill that their weight idea of 37t is correct. Its actual clown balancing at its finest.

Could you please not post these types of messages?
It’s fine if you complain about specific things that are the current subject but this post for example just answers another without actually answering anything they said at all and is just 100% negative.
It adds nothing to the conversation and just brings down the mood (i will add that i can’t in any way force you to not post these, i’m just simply asking kindly as one player to another).

Yeah sure it is broken right now. That’s why we’re here trying to bring enough information rmation to make those changes and “unbreak” it.

But this is at least a step in the right direction and that’s something, so while I share your worry they might do this to the rest of the CV90 family but if we can make a case for the Mk.IV here, we know this new chassis is the base of all Mk.IV variants and as such. This is ground zero for the rest of em.

So yeah, right now I’m more hopeful than I was a week ago, and sure they left some projects in the bin but mate, they have fixed some too.
And right now I’m quite certain that the flagship of the update takes priority (eurofighter)
