Strv m/40L with racks for 10 Rb 51 (SS10) ATGMs, would be a fun little lowish tier keyboard controlled atgm vehicle

hard to describe
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.

Oh, I’m not denying that there are more interesting alternatives. However, since the M8 already exist in the game it would not take any effort to add it to the Swedish tree. It’s a free tank basically.
Gaijin released over $500 worth of premiums this update alone, so I hardly see the reason we should encourage low effort additions over higher ones.
because lowtier funtier ;)
might as well class it as an SPAA at this point (/j)
would be funny and cool to see tho
Like I said, I’m absolutely not opposed to the modified version or other Swedish armored cars, I’m simply reasoning why we don’t need a 1-to-1 copy of the American one.
Fair enough, fair enough…
Still would be hella funny though, basically a low tier AA platform, but light tank heheheh
