Discussion of Potential Finnish and Swedish ground vehicles

Sort of Looks like the Chinese Type 86 but with an extra commanders LMG (and slightly different turret).

There is apparently a Polish version as well:

Poland has the BWP-40 which is iirc a Borfors joint project but i may be wrong.

I think they did both during trials:

I also found this image just now:

No info on what/where/when yet though.

I think its more likely info on Finnish trials for the 25 will be difficult to find but given how mamy other countries went with the Canadian 25mm turret may be good enough to say they were generally all the same vehicle in performance.

What turret is that on the second one

Likely this one:

Canadian Delco 25mm Bushmaster turret most commonly seen on the LAV III

I wish we could get the censored Finnish swastika as a decal (seen on the premium KV-1 and Finnish planes).

Ohhh it’s that one

There is the försökskarrospansar m/37 (försekskp m/37) for an absolutely derpy rank I gun truck.

At least it’s got a decent gun :)

Seems like Sweden is getting a Bandvagn based vehicle. Hottest bets seems to be on Eldenhet 98.

Edit: Based on this picture from this community update.

Eh, more likely the prototype model with the Giraffe X1 radar than just the basic Eldenhet. Realistically its a neat vehicle but given ground launched range i cant see it being a addition to my dedicated screw CAS lineup.

the range and only having 4 missiles attached, 8 with ammo box which most other SPAAs at top BR has by default, so maybe it’s lower BR or you’re heavily relying on the box and capture point refill

it’s IR tho so depending on how effective it is at ignoring flares + agility, might be solid to deal with multiple targets at once, so maybe 2 jets flying towards you from different angles wouldn’t be impossible to handle

ISIS-T would basically be a guaranteed hit

Probably won’t happen, but maybe Sweden gets two spaa this and the RBS23 BAMSE either as a truck or a trailer that, according to the FMV, could technically be pulled by any vehicle, which includes the Bv410.
But if they model the IRIS-T correctly, it would be pretty much immune to flares due to the IIR seeker, and with its alleged 60g and 60º/s turning abilities, it’s gonna be hard to dodge,

Seems as though we’ll be getting an “M24DK” for Sweden this update.

I have never heard of this designation for the Danish Chaffee before, so I was admittedly hoping it to be a confusion of the M41DK, but Gszabi says otherwise.

I hardly think we need more copy paste though, and it’s also really strange that we’re getting this before the NM-116 or aforementioned M41 DK-1, and seemingly as a tech tree vehicle at that.

Hating the copy paste myself, was thinking about the NM-116 too as you mentioned
tho i completely forgot about the M41 DK

But one weird thing i’ve noticed is that it doesn’t mentioned the M24DK being a premium, either that was missed or there’s a chance Denmark might turn into an official sub-tree now that it isn’t restricted to premium

Yeah, considering there’s a bit of a hole where the NM-116 would likely go, while at 3.7 there’s a solid line-up already. But having a decent scouting vehicle is nice too, I suppose.

I cant imagine it not being premium, the TT just has no room for it unless gaijin plans on doing what theyve done with India and adding additions to the TT. It wouldn’t shock me given the slop they called a replacement for the KV-1B. Pay to have a somewhat useful vehicle isnt a new thing for the swedish tree nor warthunder in general. Guess if it is a premium its cause the KV-1A didn’t sell well. I mean ive seen 1 other person with it. Guess nobody is interested in a Kv-1A zis 5 without a lineup lol.

Also basic M24 is such a wasted opportunity for literally any of our unique vehicles or a nation started with F and ending D. Hm its almost like gaijin has actively given that subnation the middle finger every chance possible, shame they have nothing ;) oh well
