Guessing this is from somewhere on swedish tank archive? Could you provide the link for context?
as i understand it the lvakan m/48 can be converted between the old ammo and the new with a kit whilst the m/48 D version is strictly new. but im not sure.
in any case if we want the different types of projectiles in game then we have to go with the older and slower ammo as during that time only the slsgr is listed as available for the newer faster version.
There was supposed to be a separate vehicle with a fire director per two gun battery, so one lvev fm/49 for every two lvkv fm/49

I found a picture of that twin a while back… but ive since lost the webcite…
The high Fire power and laying speeds of the gun combined with good manueverablity of the carriage. Make this type of weapon especially suitable for the protection of the troops against both air and ground attacks. By means of a remote-control system the gun can also be used in connection with a seperate fire control instrument.
Ok, now im going to shut my eyes for a minute. I struggled but its done

Never seen anything like that but I suppose it’s possible. I don’t think it would be possible to fire old ammo using the new barrel without modification however. At the end of the day, using data for the m/48 with m/48-36 barrel doesn’t help because the vehicle and gun in-game uses an L/70 barrel anyhow and all velocities achieved with different ammunition in the L/70 are above 900 m/s so it’s wrong in-game. I’d have to check WT to see exactly what rounds it has in-game but the L/70 has a wider ammunition selection at least in later AMKATs but I’m not sure when these were introduced
Rounds ingame have around 850 m/s
Oh it seems to be worse than I thought… this is based on what’s on the WT wiki, but if the values given there are still correct it should have AP at 910m/s, HEFI-T (slsgr m/36C) at 850 m/s and SAPHEI (slhpgr m/43) at 880 m/s. The AP is part of the default belt and doesn’t have a particular designation, but it’s actually the slpprj m/42 B fired using the charge PVLNG M/48 at 910 m/s, hence its higher penetration. Basically, lvkv 42 in-game has two shells fired with the old charge and L/60 barrel at 850/880 m/s and one shell fired with the new charge and L/70 barrel. So it’s a complete mess, at least if I’m reading this right, will have to double check later

I know, i sent a issue report a year ago. its been forwarded as a suggestion.
…
still, nothing though.
i included both the Lvkv 42 and VEAK in one report soo. hopefully it will be dealt with soon TM
It’s not just that it’s using ammunition when firing from an L/60 barrel, it’s that in-game it fires with both L/60 and L/70 values.
If you’re referring to this Community Bug Reporting System
I think your issue there was reporting many issues at once while also suggessting additions. You also state that the AP has the wrong velocity even though it is correct in-game, it just doesn’t have its designation
Nope i have one thats closed and submitted.
The 3P is the KULSGR m/95, not m/90.
the L/70 is the m/48 barrel. just different names as far as i know.
Yes, but m/48-36 is not the m/48. In game values seem to be partially based on using the m/48-36 (L/60) barrel which is not correct
Should add that this is not classified and is published everywhere and that this is on page 198 of the pdf. Sadly I can’t for some reason upload the said pdf but screenshots work
when i look at the amkat 1960 the speeds on the wiki it just seems like the twisted the speeds of the slpprj and the slsgr and that is about it.
not only that but the slpprj isn’t even listed as being used for the m/48 barrel.
