Even through it doesn’t specifically mention that it was the Lynx 120 Variant who was the one tested but i assume so since the Article is about it. But it says ‘after first succesful tests in Hungary Rheinmetall participates with the KF41 Lynx in competition in Eastern Europe, USA and Australia…’
But the KF41 Lynx is just the Name of the Plattform, could have been the Lynx 120 or the one we already got in the Game for Hungary.
However it also says the Lynx 120 is the first Tank who will be equipped with the ADS (Active Defense System) as standart.
yea … IMHO, it was the IFV variant that was tested not the 120mm light tank.
Coz if Hungary did, Rheinmetall would have marketed that info.
Tracked Light tank market is not so demanding as the MBT market … very few countries are inducting tracked light tanks nowadays (only US, China, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Philippines are new customers)
the CV90120, Kaplan MT have attracted very few nations till now
So, If Hungarian test did take place, Rheinmetall would’ve used that info to gain more nation’s interests, like they’re doing with Greek KF-41 tests (as well as past Ausie and current US competition)

Hungary tested the kf41 ifv version not the 120mm version. Despite that if Hungary doesn’t use the kf41 120mm version (which they aren’t) then it should go to the producer/developer nation which is germany. Just testing isn’t enough especially since Hungary is just a subtree

A tank build specifically for south africa isn’t comparable with the kf41 120mm version. But like I said Hungary didn’t even test the kf41 120mm version. There is no reason to add it to italy

I’m afraid that it is, trialed vehicles have been in game for a while now and aren’t ancient additions that can’t be considered representative anymore.
Hell, there’s even vehicles that were only shown off in a country, not even trialed by local crews (Soviet stuff in Sweden).
But Hungary didn’t even test the kf41 120mm. The website this dude above posted only says that the kf41 is already successful in hungary relating to the ifv version.

My comment was not in regard to the Lynx 120. It was in regard to your comment about tested vehicles being incorrect.

I wish that when I hit a Bus at 40 mph I don’t get sent into orbit.
Whats its rate of fire?
6 rounds per minute. Roughly a 10second reload.
yea … the “trial/logic” logic was/is a tricky one
on one hand you get these weird choices like T-80U in Sweden
and this opens the pandora’s box of Centauro for US and Russia, M60 for Germany, AS-90 for Finland etc
but on the other hand, we can get unique stuffs/prototypes like BAE FRES SCOUT SV for UK or LAV III T7 105mm LSPH for US etc …

Camo nets and MSC for tanks that have used it. Unknown model of LvKv 9040 for reference.
Hate to plug my own posts, but a “suggestion post” I made over this subject on just Swedish vehicles, as a narrow bit of the spectrum.
The Junkers Ju 390 and the Horten Ho XVIII
That’s the Rheinmetall RWG-52 or RTG-52 based on the G6 Rhino.
Its armed with the Rheinmetall L52-23l cannon of the PzH2000. Its built specifically for export. Was offered to the Indian Army.
Minor other improvements include rear door access in the hull.
More images of it:
The standard Denel G6-52 Rhino is this one:

Same turret but different gun. The turret is larger than the L/45 Rhino’s turret and features carousel ammunition loader.
Ahh, thank you for the clarification, I knew it was the Rhinemetall 155 as on the PzH2k, just didn’t know if it used the same system as the PzH2k in the turret, saw an image of them, it had a muzzle brake cover and it was hard to tell which was which. I assume it’s fire rate is much higher than I assumed, as it was the wrong model.
As much as I hate to ask this question, my curiosity is too strong: do y’all think something such as McDonnell Douglas’s A-12 Avenger II could ever be added?
