New Scouting: Give the VEAK 40 back its Proxy Fuze

[Billygoatunicorn]

Orrrrr. Perhaps we could nerf the stupid ass drones to actually have realistic flight model and damage model? Instead of just throwing out historical accuracy for “balancing” something else that is also historically inaccurate?

Strf 9040 BILL got its launcher up/down aim removed for no valid reason and the real-world model showing hydraulics to move it up/down in addition to the folding in/out parts.

There has been no concrete proof of the launcher being able to aim vertically, the ONLY movement i have personally seen is during the foldout to set it to position before launching. if you have any actual concrete proof of vertical aim i would be more than happy to be proven wrong and help you create a report for it.

@Lofi_Z34

All CV 9040 based vehicles lack its FCU being able to lock airplanes.

Not a mechanic that is in game yet (and no, it’s not an optical tracker that other vehicles have and that is a mechanic in-game). I would however love for this mechanic (laser trigonometry calculation prediction tracking) to be added.

VEAK 40 lost its proxy fuse ammo despite Sweden using it on all of its 40mm since late WWII. Such as Bofors L/70 and after.

Untrue, The first mentioned Swedish trials with 40mm proxy was done the same summer that the VEAK 40 trials was scrapped (1964) and that source is even a bit questionable as they are only mentioned in passing used for testing an active protection system on planes ment to prematurely trigger proxy fuses. The first time where they appear in service is in the navy ammunition catalogue in 1975, the army didn’t get the 40mm proxy intill years after that.

@Lofi_Z34

Strv 121/122 incorrect barrel depression limiters making the barrel go up way too soon when looking toward the side-rear.

This was a change for ALL leopards as there is a limiter in the FCS system that automatically lifts the barrel at that point, turning of that safety also disables the automatic stabilization and things of that nature. It can however be argued if that should be a thing modeled in the game or not in general and if yes it should be on all tanks that have it and not just some.

CV 90 Mk IV, the SPIKE LR2 missiles have horrible accuracy issues despite being dead accurate in real life footage.

Yep, all spike missiles in-game has this issue, not just the CV90. I hope they will fix that at some point.

@Lofi_Z34

“One of the VAK 40 S 49 was converted into a proof of concept vehicle, designated VEAK 40 X 59 (experimental model 1959) with an integrated radar. It proved successful and lead to the main construction, VEAK 40 X 60, based on the Bofors VK 105 chassis (aka the S-tank/strv 103), which eventually became the VEAK 40 X 62, or just VEAK 4062 for short. A prototype was delived way later than anticipated, with various trials being conducted during the mid to late 60s. The vehicle worked great and was really ahead of its time, not really being surpassed until the Flakpanzer Gepard or even M247 Sergeant roughly 10-20 years later. 40 mm proximity fuze ammuntion for the guns were in development at the Bofors test fire center at the time, which did not enter the open market until 1975.”

Give the HEVT round back to Veak40 and move it up

The Veak 40 is just bad after its HEVT rounds got removed (at least from my point of view). Any player that is not stupid enough to charge head on into its 0.8 km range can easily dodge the low velocity rounds. The lack of proxy fuse and the swaying of the radar lock makes hitting targets extremely difficult. However the major problem I’m having is not with this. Sweden now have no methods of effectively countering aircrafts/choppers that are directly above the battlefield. Meaning the 10.3 and…
