which one did sweden gain in its stead?
What is there to balance on the ItPsV?
Because it had no sense to have it at 8.7. It’s vastly superior to the M247 and has its HE-VT at T1 and AP at T2.
You can literally get the two best rounds for a 40mm at its BR as your first two mods, wheres the M247 only has 1 of these with the necessity of 7 unlocked modifications.

i don’t have a straight answer there, but it feels weird to take away the only HE-VT round Sweden has before BR 10.0.
i would even much rather move the VEAK to 9.0 in that case.

Veak without he-vt
Many nations don’t have any to begin with. Germany doesn’t have one unless you count the hand-aimed Bagel, Russia doesn’t have one until 10.0, Britain only had the Falcon and Marksman to compare, and so on.
It’s still better than the M247 in many regards.
with that low fire rate its going to suffer immensely without the HE-VT round.
it even has worse anti tank rounds than the ZSU. so comparatively for 0.7BR more the VEAK gets a radar and faster turret turn rate but also worse anti tank round? feels like a massive downgrade and a loss of diversity in AA before BR10.
and this is my issue, the ZSU is 0.7BR lower and the VEAK is going to be on par in killing power against air but much worse against ground. not sure a radar warrants a 0.7BR increase…

In my opinion, VEAK 40 move to BR 9.0 is much better than lost HE-VT and move to BR 7.7

It’s still better than comparable 9.0 SPAAG platforms.
remove the radar
m247?
M247 would be about the same in anti air cababilities but the VEAK would then be better against tanks. so take away anti tank round and move to 9.0?
Just see how it work at BR 9.0, if it’s still unbalanced, just move it to BR 9.3, it’s OK.
m247 has more ammo and a seperate and better tracking radar

And how will it then fare against both tanks and aircraft when it lacks the APDS of similar platforms and lacks SPAA capabilities?

But can only care 250 HE-VT rounds, is slower, larger, and lacks any sort of valuable AP round. Even it’s SAPHE is garbage, with 38mm of pen.
Unlike the Veak 40, with it’s AP round getting like 94mm and SAPHE getting 64 or so.
With HE-VT, definitely worthy of being the same BR. Without it? 8.0 seems reasonable.

A suggestion I saw was giving it full APDS and moving to 10.0, which isn’t strange since everyone uses the itpsv as a light tank anyway (at least before this change to the VEAK…)
m247 is better than the Veak 40

(I assumed you meant an actuall spaa, the ZSU-37-2)
Better Anti-tank rounds because it AP-HE. And the radar is allright actually. Very fast search rate and also pinpoint locking when aiming.
Compared to the ZSU-37-2 that is.
Oh against the ZSU-57-2? I dont even count that as antiair. Low firerate just makes it extremely ineffective in that role. Meanwhile the Veak 40 without he-vt still has favorable aspects in contrast to the Itpsv90

That would be great
