M41 DK1 - Danish army's modified Walker Bulldog

Unfortunately, I don’t know, haven’t found any information about which night vision it is, and stabilization isn’t mentioned anywhere that I can see, can try to find something more, contact someone

The Danish M41DK-1 is equipped with an electric weapon and turret drive ystem provided by AEG, which is also used in the Brazilian Tamoyo III tank prototype, which has a Kollmorgen/Ferranti’s FCS and AEG weapon control system with a gun stabilizer.

Inside the Tamoyo III turret. Note that the gunner’s dual handle/commander’s single handle in its AEG stabilization system is the same as the M41DK-1.

Regarding the sights of the M41DK-1, its gunner uses the same Ericsson integrated laser sight as the Centurion Mk.V-2 DK.

It’s understood that the mantlet-mounted thermal imager is the Texas Instruments Man-portable Common Thermal Night Sight (MCTNS), which comes from the TOW Missile System’s AN/TAS-4 (I believe AN/PVS-4 is just a typo, as this is a gen II night vision scope)

As a Dane, I’d love a Danish tank in the game

Do we know how much pen the new APFSDS has?

Couldn’t find any concrete sources but some say around 310 mm, so it’s not like game breaking or anything

310 would actually be pretty good if it’s like the M60A1 (AOS)'s shell and has good performance against angles.

Found something here, they are talking about it being able to pen 250 mm but that may not be the APFSDS-T
(It’s also from 2004)

Found some more

I still don’t know how to identify the stabilization system inside the turret or in the photos you shared, it would be useful to know how.

It’s a pretty cool tank. It’s quite similar to the Israeli modernization of the Chilean M41, although this one looks more advanced. I’d love to see it in the game on the Swedish tree.

I think we need more modernized M41s in general

That looks awesome af man, Does it not get any form of stabilisation though

It does, multiple sources say so but I’m not sure if it’s fully stabilized
(edit) Found something about it being fully stabilized but also an old forum on war thunder said it’s not, so yeah it’s like a 50/50 if it’s gonna get stabilization or not… Like with every tank in the game lmao

Would be great to have I find the modified bull dogs to be interesting as the bull dog came in at a strange time.

This is a really cool Nordic M41D. It even has its own unique look with the stowage racks on the turret!
A nice alternative to the Ikv 91 if we get in in the game.
