Do note that the config might have changed since the book was posted - Germany revealed the Leopard 2A8 - which includes obvious improvements such as the Trophy APS, but there are also unseen ones like replacing the old powerpack with a new one (EPP - 1630hp engine, etc).
This could’ve played a part in them not announcing it yet.
Per Lobitz, vehicles to be upgraded to Strv 123A and B status are Strv 122C and Strv 122D - both have new sights for gunner and commander to my knowledge.
They will be converted from Leopard 2A5S to Leopard 2A7S, no delivery is planned. This is the same thing that Denmark is doing with its versions of the German tank, that is, converting
I’ll vote yes but I think it should only be added if a lot of the other countries get an MBT with a APS system since Sweden seems to be lacking in that section
There are suggestions for the CV90 and CV120-T which has APS but those are both light vehicles that can’t handle shells like a Merkava or a potential T90M being added
But for the moment it should just remain a suggestion until further MBTs has been added
Don’t add more purchase tanks to Sweden anymore. As a country that cannot manufacture tanks on its own and can only rely on purchasing to meet defense needs, its position in the game remains at the forefront. Isn’t this absurd enough?
K2 should only appear in the South Korean technology tree, not Sweden
Big difference between “cannot” and doesn’t need/want too
Eitherway, this is one of the tanks that should only be added if absolutely neccesarry in future updates
As for right now it probably won’t be needed as Sweden really isn’t lacking in the MBT department as of right now
Tho as previously mentioned, the APS system is tempting
It is mostly politics, norway can if norway wants xd but for some reasons the ones who run this country today will not invest anything in particular in the country’s defence, but it could be worse
Norway are as we speak building new, top modern anti air vehicles, a round 50-60 f35’s in delivey wich onse it is delivered will be upgraded, and arou d 50 mbt tanks wich will be delivered in this decade
The trial vehicles are different than the others, and there should be no problem, this would not be the only tree it would be added to either, Poland, South korea… and the k2’s are among the best mbt’s in the world and would proably be over 12 in br
+1 eventually but not for a while. It’s got an extremely punchy autoloaded 120mm L/55 comparable to the one on the 2A6 (currenly most powerful cannon in the game), and is rated to withstand fire frontally from its own gun. Combine that with excellent mobility, advanced sights, ERA, APS, and hydropneumatic suspension it’s a significant step up from current vehicles, at least .7 BR better though with the state of compression at top tier that number is more like .3.
And Germany should not f*cking get a Polish K2, Poland deserves its own tree and Germany has plenty of comparably powerful indigenous vehicles.
the game is proably not ready fro the most modern tanks, the k2 has 4 sec reload time and a stowage of 12x shells, van penetrate over 700mm of RHAe penetration at 2km, no idea what that is in the in-game calkulator at 0m tough. other mbt’s like the aramata and the newest leopard? i guess is the same situation hehe
