The RB has both more fuel, engine power, armaments. So why play the J21R

Literally the majority of the jet strike fighters are better than there fighter counterparts
Well, the reason the J21RB got a upgraded engine was , later development, to manage the heavier load
Did any of those actually get the 13.2mms?
Exactly, giving the J the 13.2’s would make it a choice between better guns or better engine. (Id probably still choose the better engine but still.)
Iirc they started with them and swapped to the 50. Cal later
Current CV90 MK.IV needs to be redone, its missing both APS and the 35mm gun

If someone can send the info for the APS ill put in a bug report

Problem is that technically it’s not wrong
The Hard-APS and increased caliber are optional, the MkIV can use the 30mm and go without the APS
So it’s either
A: the 35/50mm and Hard-APS is gonna be a modification
or
B: We are getting the weaker version until they copy paste it and call it CV90 Mk.IV (35/50) or something like that
Even worse would be making it a premium :D
Unfortunatelly this is an actual variant of the Mk IV. The Strf 9035 is a completely different vehicle. The real issue is the BR. This thing should not be above 10.0.

Again it would be better to bug report it than anything else. 30mm at 10.7 makes it useless
The ones mentioned in the link is the CV90 Mk.IIIC which would be this one that Sweden and Denmark is currently buying, it does have a 35mm and Hard-APS
The one added to the game is the Mk.IV but with the 30mm gun and no APS, the APS and 35mm can be installed on it as seen here
After that there’s also the CV90 Mk.IV with a D-series turret which i’d wager would be a premium if added

Depends if gaijin decides to just leave it as is. They would need a different name to bother adding it. It wouldn’t shock me if they made the 35mm MK.IV a premium. Rn the 30mm is a pointless addition imo. Perhaps it could be pushed as a suggestion as a modification to change the gun
This is actually sad, I got excited for a Strf 90 MKIIIC/MKIV with 35mm cannon, IronFist and Akeron MP missiles, seems we get none of that. Instead we get 30mm… no APS and Spike…
This is a 10.7 BR with a cannon from 9.3. complete and utter bullshit

Eh, id say its BS if other ifvs didn’t have the same problems. Imo its nore a problem with how gaijin models 30mm bushmasters. Id say if the 30mm with a slow fire rate actually had good pen then it might be useful. Now depending on the mobility and armor it will be the worst of mid. If the Puma and Lynx weren’t also in the same boat then again id say it BS unfortunately its more so gaijin repeating the same mistake instead of making these Spike launchers actually useful.
Again, fix the spikes, buff slow firing 30mm autocannons and see how it goes.
I tested it on the Dev server, it has about the same mobility as the other Strf 90 variants but the shit cannon that can barely pen the side of a T-55. Also noticed with the Spikes that they work way better if you aim your turret about 30 degrees to the side of the target after locking them. makes them hit better for some reason idk. I haven’t used them before, only heard people complain about them.
Maybe I’m the odd one but I really want to see T-55 Marksman in game

We all would, though i also wouldn’t mind the Norwegian M113 with stingers as a nice 9.0 spaa no main gun so lower than the Hovet
Should slot in nicely at 8.3, perhaps without APDS to further justify such a spot, although I suppose that the modern Leopard 2 hull is really the only thing justifying the current 8.7 BR of the ItPsV 90.
Without apds it would be a worse ZA 35, so no reason to not have apds when its similar to the Chieftan marksman. If added without APDS it should be 8.0 that way 8.0 has a useful SPAA since the constant reload and slow rpm of the weak 40 negates its use at 8.0 imo
