CV 90 MK.IV data and discussion

but magically it is on the lvkv90 which uses the exact same system…

of which they have “considered” removing.

Nope, the LVKV we have in game is the Technology Demonstrator version that has been proven to have a separate optical tracking module installed into the UTAAS.

Edit:
More information here:

And from the Swedish defence forces website:

So… lvkv 90B at 9.3?

I don’t think the B exists for LVKV, if i remember correctly they went from A directly to C standard for those (and only 3 were upgraded to C).
You are free to create a suggestion here on the forum for it though.

False, new SPAA screen for canon anti-air units use almost the same system : Look at the target but canons shoot on the lead pipe.

Because the radar provides the lead. Not because the laser-trig-calc mechanic exists in the game. Several vehicles that do not have any tracking at all other than the radar does the same in the new screen, it’s not the same as a laser-trig-calc would be.

So what system does stormer HVM use ingame to lock the target ?

IRST tracking (infrared video tracking).

My bad, I thought it was coupled with laser tracking.

Laser guidance is for the missile to ID the target, not for the system itself to track the aircraft. Essentially projects a laser matrix on the target, missile uses that for guidance, from memory. Platform tracking is IR. But the search mechanism for stormer is a bit wonky, could be argued to be representative of the system desired. A difficult argument, but could try to make it.

No problem, there are many different systems and it’s easy to get thing mixed up.

The biggest difference with the tracking CV90 has IRL is that it wouldn’t keep following if the target turned, it would keep “tracking” in the same direction the target was originally flying at the time of acquiring the track. So if a target is flying horisontal left to right, you track it with the laser and it turns upwards your track would keep going to the right as if the target never turned (unless you manually adjust and laser again on the new direction).

I have seen information about some of the newest models having a mode that automatically lasers several times a second to make it function like a “normal” track but information about it is VERY hard to find so i haven’t been able to verify if that is actually true and if it is true what vehicles got that upgrade.
