A pet peeve of mine is the lack of good Swedish emblems and inscriptions. I love pimping my tanks out, but the vast majority of Swedish emblems are just regimental coat of arms. As I said in a post yesterday, the Congo crisis seems to be a treasure trove for more unique decals, I’ll show some examples below.
“Höken” (the Hawk) inscription. Emblem of a red hawk.
Beside the previously mentioned “Ring så kommer vi”, the captured M8s also had some additional writings on them. The one below is named “Bibi-Belle”, the other three were named “Nina-Belle”, “Lulle-Belle” and “Anne-Belle”.
Historically speaking, the Swedish military has been against troops decorating their vehicles for the sake of security and making identification harder for the enemy, but it seems like the old Terrängbil m/42 often got some extra attention nonetheless. A lot of them also seem to have space for a company logo at the front as well, which could also give us some extra emblem variation if more photos could be identified.
Think there was also a video where there was a Strv 122 with what looked like an armed lemur, would be useful against helis since the MGs can’t aim that high
Edit:
scratch that, found the video and it was the SAAB Trackfire rather than the Bofors LEMUR
Def looks like it’s firing tho
Not really, US 99% of the time plays with Israel and UK which both of these nations lack good SPAA and CAS which also makes the idea of defeat inevatible, so maybe if Gaijin decided to model these nations that pair together every single match and give them their proper armor and SPAA,CAS it would definitely boost their WR.
Alright fellas, Now that sweden has gotten a fresh new set of suggestions passed since this post was made, Lets do another round of “I think sweden needs X vehicle!”
Ill be looking forward to what yall will bring up!
