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 ?
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.

Could one of the firing modes of the 3P ammunition be counted as a “SapHE” function? That would be a nice addition to the CV9040 series of tanks, like how the 2S38 has the APHE to take out anyone hiding behind a corner. Would we be able to get that implemented? Or would we be able to get a new round with purely SapHE?
Could we possibly have a modification you have to unlock to get the air tracking chip?
IRL the 3P does have a SAPHE mode. I was hoping they would implement more options when they added the option to switch between fuse settings for some shells, but they only added time/proxy or impact.
It shouldn’t be that hard for them to implement but i do not know if that is in their plans or if a suggestion needs to be made.
If they are going to add it it’s likely going to be added in the same way every other vehicle has it. It would be odd to have as a modification. I do not think the CV90’s are ever going to get IRST tracking due to it only existing on the prototype. I do hope they add the laser trigonometry tracking at some point though.
So this is a 9040A? Didn’t know.
Honestly suprised we haven’t seen the 9040A outside the Strf 9040 BILL.
It is yes, you can tell by the big box on the front of the turret to the right side of the barrel (The dampening cylinder).
Edit:
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the C9040B apart from CV9040 (original version before A) as both lack that box, only the A version has that box. The B version integrated that function by fully stabilizing the turret instead of just dampening it.
Edit2:
Then the lvkv went directly to the C version with the addon armor:
And now the remaining lvkv A have been modified to a D version, not sure what those upgrades included (and no the upgrades aren’t progression so it might have gotten zero C upgrades when it went from A to D, the letters are just there to differentiate the versions, not necessarily to show that one is better than the other)
(Lvkv 90)
that is talking about a stabilizer which is the boxy unit on the front of the turret of the Lvkv 9040A
so idk how that would be relevant, since we have the Lvkv 9040C ingame
as i understand it only a versions have the box, since the B has the stabilizer intergrated, but not all A versions had it unsure if all were upgraded to get the stabilizer or not
Also the tracking might work differently, but effectively gameplay wise it would work the same
aside from that the target gets a laser ping, so just add that and let them track…
