NDI (Norway, Denmark, Iceland)- Ground Forces Techtree (Updated 197x vehicles)

It will probably change sometime in the future haha, the USH is a quite recent addition so strongly believe it will change br the next time they do br changes

A Few too many Chevrolets, it seems like that would only open up to repetetive gameplay, and the end of the tree it seemed like it was mostly just copy paste CV90s which i feel might only further un-diversify the current gameplay, especially if Scandinavia ends up on the opposite team of Sweden, but most of the tree looks good ands its amazing to see a WIP build and i can see you have a passion for it, keep up the good work!

The tree is to show potential, so if the tree were to be implemented it would not feature everything that is shown in this tree, at least not in a while :)

The chevrolet do all have different weapons, exept the two trucks with 37 revolvercannons, the 2nd truck should be a different model but i am still looking into it, i think it might be an chevy model AA

I am happy to tell you the CV90’s are not copy paste (exept the premium CV9040B wich is trialed by Denmark), with all of them featuring unique changes and weaponry, domestic ammunition etc, one of them even features an remote turret from Kongsberg Defence :D (i can go into details)

I am going to continue updating it, this year there might be a ifv or two wich might feature a 50mm bushmaster for the Kongsberg turrets

Oh thats cool, the names and how similar they were was a little misleading, but it does look really cool, and surprised me how much other Scandinavian countries have experimented and leased.

Yes, i am working on inproving the description of the vehicles in this suggestion, there are some individual suggestions for some of them too, showing the changes/ammunition in a little more detail

There are around 10 leased/trialed vehicles of both nations from the 1960’s left to discover, and many other “forgotten” experiments and tests, for example, around the time Norway built the Unimog with the ss.11’s and the Bv202 with entac’s there is leads they might have done the same with other vehicles such as a jeep and a weasel

Pretty sure the 9040B we tested was the command version with the Lemur sight. So technically it would be slightly different from the version in game. Think the sight from the 9040A BILL II, its a pretty good option for peaking imo since it has thermals.

Edit: had to go back and check, it wasnt a command model so ignore above.

I am not 100% certain about that. But i know it was leased by the Danish army in 2001/2 and tested, in relation to plans of upgrading the old M/92’s

I can probably contact Arselalen lr Pansermuseet, considering this is 100% more documented than most of the other vehicles, considering it was leased, not just lended, upon further tought, it could probably be added in the researchable branches

Contacted arsenalen before, in relation to the Stridsvagn s being tested by Norway, very helpful

Trialed CV9040B, has among other things a Danish pennant painted on the sides

Yeah i had to double check but i couldn’t find info of it having the added Lemur sight, would’ve bee a neat thing sincw its a small modification that helps with peaking but oh well. Could makw for an interesting decal if the snail ever re adds monthly decals

One day maybe! Its sad i only found crappy images of it, but then its from the early age of digital cameras, here is up close of the flag

UPDATE

I discovered an handfull of vehicles that has either been used or trialed by any of these three nations, keep in mind that i am adding these to show the potential of the tree. Some vehicles would probably be excluded or added at later points if it ever were to be added :)

All I have to say is that I would love to see this implemented, I was searching the swedish tree for quite awhile for Norwegian tanks, and i couldn’t find any i would want to pay for, but if there was a Norway tree I would probably buy some tanks, and Iceland in it is such a unique idea. If this was put in game i know plenty of people who would join just for it.

Hard choice between giving this an independent tree or 150+ unique vehicles to Sweden.

Regardless, +1, hope to see it soon

Are you still in need of more photos regarding this vehicle?

Yes, i haven’t managed to find either more images or information about it, cant find it anywhere, not even on some forums/archives

It’s a combination used not too long ago, its a demonstrator vehicle/prototype, in relation to the peogram to wither upgrade or replace the old cv90’s

You did see the compliation of photos on Army Guide though right? Low quality, same shooting location as the first photo.

Well, since you didn’t respond to my other question I’ll just drop what I have now. Most of this is courtesy of a source some guy on Discord sent to me so credit to him

While I don’t have much in the way of actual information, this official Kongsberg chart seems to suggest that two prototypes were built, one in 2009 and another in 2012.

2009 Prototype?

2012 Prototype?

Also, while I have your attention, I have two other vehicles you may not know about:

Piranha II 8x8 with Protector RS6 armed with an M230LF 30mm and two Piorun anti-aircraft missiles. It was apparently a collaboration between Kongsberg and Polish company Mesko in 2024.

Danish halftrack with Madsen 20mm. The image looks like a drawing, but there are many other images in this text that are real photos, so I suspect this one is as well.

i have been very busy, so i haven’t had time to respond :)

yes, it is valid for both nations

that’s some awesome images, haven’t seen those before, i’ll do some research, i have some places i can ask if someone knows anything. that 2009 one is probably Kongsberg testing their turrets at their shooting range, as they only started making medium caliber turrets in 2009, they only did weapon stations before 2009

i don’t think the picture/drawing is a Danish vehicle, could be just an illustration or a vehicle from another nation, the closest danish vehicle to this is the ford model aa with a madsen 20mm cannon, at first i tought this was a Triangel L 3.5 halftrack wich probably is the vehicle in the image, but proved itself to be a ford model aa. there are definelty some variants that haven’t been found

Understandable, I figured I’d give a day or so just in case

Considering the source is a Russian text from 1934, the chance for error is quite possible. Worth a mention regardless.
