Would it be smart to creat a discord for gathering details, discussing and coordinate. Might be easier to convince devs that way
huh
It’s all of them fitted as standard from my understanding. I don’t think they offer it without it after the C variant.
Very likely, i just haven’t personally seen any evidence of the fact.
That doesn’t make sense, the CV9040C is a MK.0 with lots of upgrades (CV9040 MK.0 → A → B → C).
It doesn’t have much (if even anything) to do with the MK.I → MK.II → MK.III → MK.IV changes.
(The A → B upgrades could possibly be argued being the same as MK.0 - > MK.I upgrades though)
Like i say by the time the C was developed say for example 1975 every hull onwards was fitted with a spall liner as standard, i know the early ones didn’t have one, but I’m 90% sure someone posted during a bug report or in a forum documents from the Swedish Mod requirements that they’re all to be fitted with a spall liner in further productions. I’m sure there’s other examples I’ve seen but I’ve not looked into the cv90s for like 2 years now.
I don’t know why you mention the C variant. the A-B-C designations are Sweden’s domestic designations for the specific upgrades they have made post-purchase.
The C variant did indeed have a spall liner (it even came in the interim form of the CV9040B+) , but that has absolutely nothing to do with what BAE has in their base models for MK.x versions.
It’s like this:
If you purchase an Iphone and 4 years later go to apple and ask them to change out the battery for a better performing one with more capacity. Does that mean that all newer Iphones automatically has the same new type of battery as your phone? Not really, some of them might, but some might not. It depends on if the costumer choose the +/pro/ultra/etc version.
I would be very happy if you are correct that the base MK.x versions also have spall liner but i have personally not seen any concrete evidence that supports it (even though it might seem obvious that they would have it)
I’m using it as an example
How and why?
Don’t know about the export models, but the domestic ones after the C (Strf9040D1/2, Lvkv 90D, Stripbv 90D, Epbv 90D) doesn’t have it.
I think some do? not sure though, the D2 versions are renovated B versions right? and there are variants of the B version that did get spall liner (CV9040B+ or CV9040B1 i think?). But those were kind of few IIRC.
The D2 definitly doesn’t have one.
Source: drove one around for 8 months, and those plates are very hard and sharp on the inside unlike a liner.
And since the D package was the same across the entire fleet, then the other ones don’t have it either.

So how come the Mk.IV is 10 tons heavier than the 9040C when it has less protection and a smaller gun?
As stated previously i think we should focus on bug reporting this “demonstrator” that i like to call it and i am farely certain that we will see later variants and models of the Mk.IV with 35-50mm canons and all the bells and whistles of the D turret and Mk.IV chassi but that might be abit into the future. I try to look at this vehicle as a test bed that the developers implemented for future plans and upgrades.
Its supposed to have better protection stanag level 6 gaijin did as they usually do and decided they dont wanna actually spend 2 minutes looking at BAE and seeing what the 9030 MK.IV had going for it.
Id say we would see other models if this things gets a name that represents this model not just denoted as all the MK.IV models.
As it stands my current belief is that theyve done the Gripen treatment all over again and belive this thing can just be all the models and eventually when they feel like it they might add the other turrets as a modification or they see no point in adding the other models and figure this would be easier to balance

Also just a reminder the CV90120 weighs 27.7 tons compared to this
Now that is a weight i’m interested in knowing where they got the numbers for since that is a MK:III or a MK.IV hull. (IIRC)
MK.III, the MK.IV hull for the later 120’s uses the 1000hp

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping but can we assume other CV90 MK.IV models will be added? The current naming convention seems to just Denote that this is the only MK.IV gaijin has plans for.

Or i guess theyll ignore us for the 9th time…
