Is there a reason for the cv90s not getting spall liners ? The anti air version of the cv9040c called the lvkv9040c which has an anti air turret has spall liners but that’s about it. It would make no sense for the normal versions to not have spall liners since they use the same hull.

It’s historical. The CV9040 didn’t get spall liners installed until the C version which is an extra armored version ment for service abroad. It got the external addons, the spall liners and an upgraded AC unit for crew comfort (i think there were some other minor additions as well). The original version of the CV9040 doesn’t have an integrated spall liner and it’s added to the hull afterwards.
Technically all CV90 versions are built to each buyers specifications so there really isn’t “one” CV90. Each version is different and each buyer can pick and choose what they want added or not, the entire system sort of functions like lego, you add or remove pieces as you want as a buyer.
well the 9040c ingame doesnt have spall liners
oh shit my bad. I dont know how i missed that. Sorry
Is there a chance the 120 could also get spall liners tho ?

As far as i know there is no evidence they ever put liners into it since it was only ever a prototype. (Same with the MK.IV)
What hull does it use
Likely a MK.II or a MK.III not sure actually.
There is also a MK.IV version that has been shown in promotional videos.
(IRL, don’t know for in game)
I jsut checked an the 1998 version is stated to withstand 30mm adps from the front. The cv90 hull that can do that is the 9040c hull which has the composite on the front. It also fits the timeframe. So in theory it should have the spall liners
Link to source?
no idea if this source has any truth behind it so take it with a grain of salt
correction the 9040b can also withstand 30mm adps so it might also just be 9040b chassis but the cv90120 definitely shares the chassis with the cv9040b and d
Hmm not sure about the source, i think they usually just gather info from other sources.
But i think the MK.I hull also has improved armor compared to the MK.0 That is the “original” bought by Sweden which was then later improved to the A/B/C versions.
There are also several version of the CV90120 with different hulls and different turrets.
the cv90120 ingame is the first version of the cv90120 I think. It looks identical to the 9040b and 9040c hull and I think they compelety same too. Only difference is the engine being the dc16 instead of the ds14. I don’t think there is a single source that can confirm or deny the fact that it had spall liners simply bc it was a prototype.
I don’t think you can visually see the difference in the hulls. I think the version that is in the game is the CV90120-T due to the commander sight on top.
That is the MK.IV so no that isn’t the in game version.
The one ingame is tricky to find on the internet. I haven’t found a single version with those commander sights. But id say its safe to assume that it did have spall liners at least as an option considering the entire cv90 family is modular
ony the second image has the correct sight. The first image lacks the base under the ball
