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
You’re right, i clicked the wrong image, i’ll update.
yeah thats the one. Do you know which model that is ?
There isn’t a specific one, they are all called CV90120-T . It’s just a specific turret, the hull has been changed one some but not others, some have the commanders sights and some has a remote weapons station instead. This is why researching the CV90 is so hard… They don’t really name the specific configurations unless a country buys them, they just name the “base” of it.
I mean we can just stop the search then. Having spall liners on the tank wouldn’t really change anything since the ammo is on the turret and the crew is so bunched up together. And at 11.7 I don’t think there is anything that cant one shot it even with all the spall liners in the world

Am going to sleep now bye
I ocasionally see mentions of a B1 version which mentions having spall liner + the new 3P ammo, is that wrong or?
The spall liner is kinda optional when it comes to those, ain’t it? don’t see a reason why they couldn’t have one if people wanted some since the older model could use them
like the CV9035DK that has spall liners, doesn’t make sense for the newer versions to just decide they weren’t an option
well gaijin doesnt really use speculation as a source to add things and given this version of he 90120 is a very old prototype I doubt we will ever get sources. But like I said I don’t think spall liners would do anything for the 90120
CV90105 and CV90120s never got put into production and i’m relatively sure that said CV90 variants used hulls from CV9040Bs? Only heard it somewhere, nothing official i think.
I mean its really hard to find any information on cv90 models since they only name the models after they have been sold. There are a million different cv90120 with the same name. Same for the 9040. They old give it the a b c whatever name after it gets a buy order
I think i saw the website “fighting vehicles” mention which model it was before but for some reason the website is currently down
