That’s my idea of thinking as well, but on the other hand the Squeezeboore 50 is what ive ready about. Perhaps the ones writing that article had a misunderstanding of the ammunition type, I don’t know, yet that’s what I’ve read.
Mind you this was years ago and perhaps the 50mm squeeze was just an idea of how a possible 35/50 munition could be developed, wether it had any merit or not versus other 35/50 types is not my perogative.
I think regardless of how it works the cartridge will be in the same dimentions of the 35
Yeah, unless of course we can find evidence of a 50mm gun, which seems to odd.
I mean, we get the 50mm supershot but at the same time we’ve seen and heard of a 50mm gun.
Just now Inthis video he clearly states that the 35 can be exchanged for a 50mm, that clearly indicates these are 2 different guns.
35/50mm are the same gun, you just swap out the barrel and a couple other parts.
Alrighty then, so it’s basically the same system just a bit of a hotswap shenanigans.
then all we need to figure out if this 50mm change has been tested alongside the Akeron, as we already know both have been tested independently from each other.
I again would find it highly unlikely these tests have not been carried, if not for the export market at the very least.
I hope Sweden continues with a new 40mm for the future CV 90s.
So do I, it’s an iconic Bofors weapon, and I mean the french,Germans and the U.S is bringing the calibre back into the spotlight after a decade of everyone but the Swedes thinking it was not enough of a shift in munition size to power to be worth it.
They might!
I believe that cased telescoped ammunition is the future, and that the 40mm CTC has more potential than chainguns like Bushmaster
It also helps that CTA is a Nexter/BAE joint venture, and BAE is the parent company of Hägglunds who makes the CV90
BAE’s entry in the FRES program was basically just that, a CV90 with a new turret fitted with 40mm CTC.
Unfortunately it lost out to AJAX, and we all know how that turned out
Yea really disappointed we got the the 30mm Version basically just rip-off puma with no benefits
Im still hoping that the lack of needed/accurate stuff added for the sweedish tt in the past updates will lead to either a new subtree Denmark/norway. Or a larger addition with more vehicles to it.
I always found this funny, considering that even MBTs aren’t immune to 30mm ammunition at 500 meters.
The 30mm’s rate of fire is so high that the whole “stanag lv x protection” thing is a joke.
Hopefully we will get this one too at some point!
The one we got has turned out quite underwhelming…
Did you just unlock it by chance.
Not yet, but I was wondering if it was worth it!
And, from what I’m seeing… apparently not xD.
Get used to firing 40 rounds into most T series tanks or 20 into light tanks
The gun sound is just horrible too lol
Dont get me wrong i have a decent KD in it but at 10.7 if i want a good spike carrier ill play the Vilkas or the Freccia, at least they have the ability to shoot and loock on to aircraft with their main gun or have remote turrets (not Freccia)
it has very poor spalling and does like no damage to MBT cannons either which truly sucks some major [REDACTED]. Other than that it is somewhat decent imo. Definitely has to shoot at 90 degree angle otherwise it will not go through but if you aim for where the crew members are stiting I can quite often kill enemies in 5-10 rounds.
Don’t get me wrong I am dissapointed in it but it works. Definitely cant play it the same way as the 9040C as that 170mm and proper spalling works incredibly well against MBTs side on. That has the problem of loading the first stage ammo stowage though.
Yeah, I have PUMA… and, so far, this just looks like a worse PUMA, so xD.
And I wanted it for 12.0…
Tbf im just waiting in the 35mm
Danske 9035 is just my comfort vehicle but same chassis as the MK.IV in game. Spikes are gimmick missiles and ill take the hybrid 40mm/30mm CV anyday as it gives 9030 mobility and 9040B pen literally 5mm less its a huge advantage for the 815hp engine.
Now if only the DK had the drone thermals the NL had at the same BR.
Oh enjoy literally not doing anything, i had to take my MK.IV off after shooting a T90M with 4 spikes and an entire belt of 30mm into his side, autoloader kept eating the rounds, thankfully a TKX killed him after shooting him 3 times lol.
I clearly didn’t feed the snail that day lmao
