Well the idea would be that the same turret exists at 8.7 with said APDS, so you could always just play the higher BR one if you wanted to use those belts.
I guess the T-55 hull already signifies a BR of 8.3 anyways.
It would be more similar to the 8.3 Chieftan so again no reason for it to be the same BR without APDS. At that point just add the tridon with HEVT and forget the radar. Then 8.0 could have decent spaa
This was in their disrespectful history of Finnish tanks where they lie about nearly everything in the video because reading the wiki for more than 1 minute was too hard.

Also the TO-55 is 8.0 with a full stabilizer and T55 hull so idk why a spaa would be higher
To be fair SPAA is pretty difficult to directly compare to tanks, and the Gepard/Type 87/Marksman already set a precedent to be 8.3 or higher.
Again, the Chieftan marksman is the closest thing to the ITPSV 90 Marksman so why they would be different BR’s is just a bit strange to me. T55 would be about the same as the Chieftan. So regardless unless it gets its APDS removed it would and should be 8.3 without APDS it should be 8.0, or give us tridon. Or the Finnish ZSU M with the chinese prox shell. A lotta options for spaa are available for gaijin.

Not really, it’s the ETS Mowag Piranha III, only images of the Danish ETS M113 and Mowag Piranha III exist but we apparently tested some other chassis’
You got any good sources on the ARMAD? Currently trying to track down the ones cited on wikipedia but either links are dead or it’s a Jane’s version I don’t have a copy of, so gonna take some time until I get my hands on either.
There’s this PDF which mentions the ARMAD by Forecast International who works with multiple big players in the defence industry, so I’d deem them fairly credible. It’s mainly focused on the history of it’s HARD radar and doesn’t say much of it’s technical specifications other than the hull being an M113A1 and a bit of info on the radar.

Thanks! This later edition (guessing 1985-86?) probably have the most up-to-date info on it that’s going to be useful.
That’s great! Gives some info on the radar that could be useful. I see they call it an X-band radar. Is that different from the older I/J-band that’s mentioned in Jane’s, or is it just an updated form of the same frequencies?
Apparently Sweden captured four M8 Greyhound during the Congo crisis and used them for security purposes. Could be a br 1 premium. Nothing spectacular, but amusing nonetheless.
What I personally find the most interesting is the inscription “Ring så kommer vi” (call us and we come). I’d love to see it in the game. By the way, the Congo crisis seems to have a lot of interesting emblems for Sweden, much better than the boring coat of arms.

+1, Sweden has only three 1.0’s besides the premium and needs it to be added

With how many alternative armored cars Sweden could get, I see no reason to add this copy paste vehicle.
There was however, a modified version with two 8mm MGs that I would be happy to support.
I could’ve sworn I had posted a vehicle with both the 8mm MGs and the M2HB at some point, but I can’t find it at the moment.

I pray that Sweden gets a Norwegian f16 as a squadron vehicle in the future.
