Can’t be everywhere at once y’know, and I only have so much time and attention to spare for War Thunder
Most of the time I just lurk in “rumor round-up” and the occasional US aircraft thread, as that is my personal favorite subject.
Fair enough, maybe tomorrow as I’m sure every normal person is gone to bed now xD
My job is far too boring so i am up nearly all hours of the night. Not like anything happens here anyways so i am either here or watching shows.
Idk, gaijin and getting the CV series correct? Thats gotta be some Copium now hand it over
BILL missile face-plants into ground in front of me
BILL missile launcher losing the only thing that made it usable on 90% of the maps…
Interesting quote from Dan Lindell, platform manager CV90
“But it also means that all CV90s that have come out of this production facility has a basic anti-aircraft capability, which is quite unique actually”

Edit: also there’s this:
The evidence is overwhelming
Gaijin: not enough evidence
Yes, the upcoming Mk.IV was a fairly finished platform like 6 years ago, its not the D turret which we see in todays production. This vehicle was a demonstrator/prototype and was the base for what we have in todays production. However, it does have almost all the features of todays D turret so it should absolutely come with for instance IRST which it had back when it was developed and tested. The other features such as lower noice, lower signature, spall liners etc might be too far of a stretch even tho i think it should be possible to implement.
We will have to bug report the shizznick out of this one.
So is the fight to get a mk4 with APS and the appropriate cannon for Swedish service deemed worthwhile? Thing seems incredibly not good, for want of a way to describe it without being account locked.
Yes and no. The vehicle on the dev is an actual variant of the Mk4, but the entire point of the Mk4 is that it’s extremily modular to the customers needs and doesn’t have a base configuration, so a better way to implement it would be like aircraft loadouts where you can modify it with all the different modules it can have IRL. The Strf 9035 om the other hand is a specific vehicle and wouldn’t really fall under the Mk4 umbrella.
I get it’s a mk4, but it isn’t the mk4 Sweden picked, unless my memory fails me.
Yes, but it’s not “just” a CV90 Mk4, but the Strf 9035 / CV90Mk3C which is an extremely specific vehicle unlike the Mk4 which only has a single configuration, and thus a separate unique vehicle.
But this addition serves essentially 0 value. As opposed to the mk4 configuration Sweden selected, which would at least bring something interesting to warrant the BR raise. Oh great, we get spikes that work worse than BILL somehow, and a worse cannon. In exchange, .3 BR higher.
Swedens selection isn’t a MK.IV either technically, it’s a MK.III chassi with a D-serries MK.IV turret.
The one coming to the game is a MK.IV chassi and an older variant of the turret.
So they will have very little in common.
I see value in it if they fix the armor to be frontally resistant to 30mm APFSDS like it’s supposed to
Before when choosing between 9040C or BILL it was a choice of armor or ATGM, now it’s possible to have both
Forgot that bit.
I pray the snail actually fixes this and makes it competitive so it’s not DOA cause when comparing it to the CV9040 BILL it just looks like a downgrade.
-worse cannon
-slower fire rate
-no proxy fuse rounds
-a unreliable missile
-less missiles then the CV9040 BILL
**-No LWS **
-no tracking
-higher BR
-a bad commanders mast that’s height can’t be adjusted
(some of these may change)
Great stuff man. You could try and report this in here and fill out the form: Community Bug Reporting System
With all these sources something is bound to happen
We will most likely have to bug report this vehicle alot. I still dont understand why they choose this one but i guess its okay to implement it until we see the 35mm coming for Sweden.
Thats a huge IF and when. The 30mm rn is useless without any substantial changes to all the slow firing 30mm cannons.
