TRIDON Mk2

Yea “Speed limiter” Wich means the truck is capable of running faster but its limited for safety reasons. I wonder if the military would remove such a limit during wartime emergencies.

War Thunder abides by speed limiters. So it’s unlikely to come disabled even if it could be.

+1, would be a good complement. Should also come with 3P or (LK 95) and not the currently inaccurate ABM LK 90 in the game.

I hate the 4km ish range of the 40mm proxi so much. Most heli can just stay outside that range. If this thing gets half of its supposed range it would at least perform better than the 2s38, anti air wise.

I would be more interested seeing it receive a more realistic sensor, one of its very main features is to shot down incoming missiles but in the game it is absolutely bad at doing so. For the range i agree it should be slightly buffed.

I think one of the mayor issues is that its the older version not used today that is in the game. They could easily implement the 3P but without every function until the game is at a state in which it can support the others.

I believe that the speed limiter is only an instrument gauge that the driver can engage if need be, it can hold up to 85 km/h, the truck itself can go faster if its disengaged. This is common on most trucks in scandinavia and specificly in the armed forces.

Truck driver here, to be more precise i was doing jet fueling stuff for the finnish air force during my conscription.
those speed limiters come straight from the factory and afaik there is no way to disable them even on army trucks and risk/benefit for some extra 10-20kmh on top of already going 90kmh wouldnt be worth it for the stuff these trucks are meant to do.

I cant talk for combat vehicles like MRAPs and stuff but this being an anti air system on a truck it should be made with same standards as any other truck on the road in the EU.

Stupid question, but isn’t this made by BAE Systems? You know? British Aerospace Systems. So wouldn’t this be a Great Britain vehicle? Why is it being suggested for Sweden?

Because its made from Specifically BAE Systems, Bofors the Swedish part, thats the simplest explenation. Since Bofors is still located in sweden and has the closest ties to sweden

Swedish engineers, Swedish sub-companies to BAE, everything about it is Swedish, just like the CV90.

Battle ratings are strange, considering it is a single 40mm truck (without radar?). Proxy fuze shells are nice though, considering we’ve already got the WZ305 at 8.0 with proxy fuze shells and M247 with radar and proxy fuze at 9.0 I’d guess this would fit nicely around 8.0-8.7

It is mostly caused by the APFDS, which I think this vehicle should receive as stated in the above information. Also Gen 3 thermals, full stabilization, still has access to IRST, and so on…

That makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the earlier Mk.1 would be a better fit for 8.0-8.7. This mk.2 variant is a bit more difficult considering how “good” features it has while still being a mediocre anti-air. Perhaps with scouting and APFSDS it would be a fun versatile vehicle that isn’t too overpowered?

This vehicle isn’t even in the game yet how are u complaining, if anything it will be introduced to Sweden when devs think they want to

“How I’m complaining” is not a great thaught. I’m just looking forward to how nations like ukraine and israel. or any nation really. Top tier really is just a corporate war, or a war of capture. And i know gaijin exploits it.

I agree but when we get there right now in the present time it should go to Sweden end of story
