Two years and nada, such sadness
Give it a decade, it takes them time to get around to things.
only took them around 2 years to fix the commander sight on the 122B+, record speeds right there

Could be fun if they gave them drones. What’s the arch on the shells? Thinking if it’d be possible to indirect arty since they are mortars. Though more than likely they’ll make them SPG 8.7 with no drone because fun not allowed unless you’re a BMD player

Their effective firing range is around 6–10 km, i cant find their velocity tho :/
Velocity for standard 120mm rounds are 300 m/s (m/58) and 400 m/s (m/86). There’s also the STRIX round at 300 m/s, but that one is a bit funky since it has its own homing system.

That would be nice
I would like the Holy 57mm pen. APHE nuke for the Ikv 103 to “abuse” weakspots and instakill some light tanks

Also the APDS for the Pvkv III since the Pvkv IV is such a sad platform… And this would justify the Pvkv III being a 3.3 TD and having to deal with KV-1s

PVKV III would instantly shoot to 4.0 because gaijin hates low BR sweden at times, did we forget the PVKV IV was added at 3.7 and took months to still be placed at a BR where its mid as hell?
Yes i have a solid KD and all camos for the PVKV IV but 3.0 is a trash BR for it when .3 higher sits the M10

This is why the Pvkv III needs APDS-T, and why the Pvkv IV sitting higher in Rank III is completely backwards. Let’s be honest: the Pvkv IV is worse than the Strv m/40L in almost every meaningful way. Cramped turret, paper-thin armor, sluggish traverse and elevation—mobility that barely gets it into position. On paper, it has APDS-T, but the platform is so bad that even with it, you can’t reliably fight Shermans or T‑34s. Most people just ignore it because it’s a frustrating vehicle to play.
Meanwhile, the Pvkv III is a completely different story. Fast, agile, excellent traverse, open turret layout— with a sepperate enclosed hull. This is the vehicle that actually lets you flank, make plays, and contribute in mid-tier matches. It’s fun, skillful, and genuinely playable. The only problem? It’s so nerfed by not having APDS-T. Right now, the Pvkv III is stuck trying to fight KV‑1s and Shermans with AP-T that barely scratches them, while the worse Pvkv IV hogs the good ammo and a higher Rank. That’s backwards in every sense.
Giving the Pvkv III APDS-T would:
- Finally make it a real mid-tier TD capable of engaging heavier targets at Rank III.
- Justify moving it to Rank III (~3.3–3.7), where it can actually face KV‑1s and Shermans and fulfill the role it was designed for.
- Reward for using a platform that’s actually fun and capable instead of forcing us to grind the awful Pvkv IV. Since the Pvkv III is really a light tank with the capability of being 3.7 / 4.0 with apds the gun handling is great and APHE is good for sideshots its just the Majority of battles arent side-on anymore sadly…
And ,eanwhileee, the Pvkv IV should get smited out of Rank III Re-classed from a Medium tank to a light tank and dropped to Rank II, foldered with the Strv m/40L. This vehicle is completely unplayable as a mid-tier. And doesn’t deserve the higher BR than 2.7 like the Strv m/42.
Its funny, The vehicle that’s worse on every level gets the APDS-T and a higher Rank, and the platform that’s fun, agile, and capable is locked behind pretty weak ammo and a lower Rank. Its just a Pvkv II but what if you could fire and move, and for that reason it think the Pvkv III could be 4.0 if it needs to be.

You’re problem is thinking gaijin would make a change that would be good for the swedish TT

I found a Memo regarding options for upgunning strv m/42
Alternative A.1
Uses 7.5 cm lvkan m/37 put in a new turret with the same turret diameter as the strv m/42.
More powerful horizontal & vertical drives.
Weight increases by about 1.5 tons, total weight about 24 tons.
The armor thickness is about the same as on the strv m/42, but better protection at the front thanks to better angles.
Could in theory carry 30 rounds in total.
Possibly related to the Strv 74?
Alternative A.2
Uses 7.5 cm lvkan m/37 put in a oscillating turret with the same turret diameter as the strv m/42.
Longer reload then the A.1 if it was manually loaded, idk if there were plans to give it an autoloader
Worse elevation & depression then the A.1
Alternative A.3
Strv m/42 DT
Alternative B
The Pvkv m/43 series

This suggestion was passed to the developers for December:

Would be an interesting VEAK replacement with HE-VT rounds but no APFSDS perhaps.
