to be honest, im glad the cv90mk4 is coming, but why choose the worst possible one? there are so many to choose from, many that would put it at similar to slightly better performance than kf41 and others. 30mm at 10.7 is just a little sad. couldve been the Mk3C with 35mm and iron fist, or what i was really hoping for, cv90mk4 d series with 50mm?
nonetheless im glad its here, spikes have been missing from the swedish tree and this one gets 6(!!)
I have a better option, we get all of them eventually, starting with the mk4
Yea the rank placement is weird, it’s 2 steps below the next lowest (T 80 U) which is the only 11.3. Everything else is 11.7+
For me a massive down sight is absence of iron fist aps. Though, 30mm gun is not enough but it has 6 spike missiles which is good
IMO a major problem with it is that its not enough of an upgrade over the 9040 BILL. You exchange the power and HE-VT of the 40mm for spikes. If it was the 9035 or 9050 with APS and air tracking it would be enough of an upgrade to be worth it.
i agree, just wish it was sooner rather than later yk
Have fun with the spikes… You’re absolutely going to need ALL 6.
Honestly should 10.3 it has no anti functions, it has no anti air ABM, it has the worst of the 30mm cannons and has the worst armor of all 10.7 IFV’s
Still waiting for the name to be corrected for them or for any of the bug reports on it lol
In the same boat haha. Hopefully when y’all get hit in the turret your tracks don’t explode!
When you get hit in the turret you die. Its a crewed turret with 3 crew members with the wrong weight so you are slower than an MBT. So its worse but yeah i guess the puma having to watch as you die is worse than instantly being killed, also no spall liners yet
Oof, didn’t realize non-crewless turret.
Yeah staring at the enemy team just waiting for death is not fun haha.
This one they’re adding, it didn’t use any APS?
Nope, this is the CV90 MK.IV model made by BAE. The turretbuses the 30mm with a new UTAAS sight sonit should get AA tracking but gaijin will deny that. Its armor is supposed to stop 30mm and lower APFSDS from 500mm away, it barely stops 50 cal. And it weighs 37t instead of 35t. Id say the Puma was the owrst 10.7 IFV if this thing didn’t just swoop up with 20+ more disadvantages than the puma which i didn’t think was possible
the 35/50mm gun turret does not this one.
Dang… Hopefully this is just the initial one, and the better one comes after.
HOPEFULLY now that another nation is getting spikes, we can have them actually fixed.
You think they won’t give it IRST? (i’m assuming that’s what it is)
That would be very uncouth.
they have refused to give it to all the other cv90s except the AA one
massive F, disappointing to hear.
if they ever add the other MKIV that will 100% get it but it’s not looking too optimistic for the one on the dev.
It definitely wont get UTAAS (Universal Tracking Anti Air Sight) the majority of 9040’s didnt have the chip for the sight but it wouldn’t shock me that gaijin doesnt believe in UTAAS for the new CV. Also sweden doesnt use this 9030 MK.IV, they use the 35mm version. Realistically this is the leo problem where gaijin adds Leos you dont need because they want to add all models so it takes years before getting the vehicle you actually need.
