Not with the Strv 74’s mobility, if we compare with the AMX thats similar the 74 should probably be 6.0 to 6.3 the vehicle is huge, slow, and the main round for pen is basically as reliable as German supplies to Stalingrad. It could be the vehicle just cant be balanced into warrant adding as gaijin cant see people buying it.
405 405 405 405 405…
I do have 3 theories for where the Strv-74 (RBS-52) can be added based on previous editions of similar vehicles
i would imagine that the Ikv 90(40) (BWR) would be much better event/BP vehicle instead of the Strv 74 (RBS-52), and that the Strv would instead be a basic premium vehicle.
For reference, the BWR is functionally similar to the PT-76-57 BP we had a while back, exept it’s the hull of an Ikv 91 with an open(?) turret holding the same 40mm that’s now found on the CV90.
They already have the Strv 81 with the missiles being a premium, would prefer at least 1 to be TT or event
Very small error, microscopic even
If i punch in the Total weight of the Slpprj M/40 projectile for the akan m/40 together with the Velocity of 845 m/s we get
Id say that is pretty darn close to the in-game value? Taking into consideration the formula doesnt 100% match accurately
Even if we take the Slpprj M/42 B We get
So- I don’t know where you got the calculations from? Id assume you only took the weight of the fuse? I don’t know?
EDIT:
So yea you definitely didnt calculate the penetration correctly- And i have posted comments explaining this in the comments-

I am using the official Caluclator of gaijin.
And stop with your nonsense THERE IS NO FUZE. And even if that wouldnt matter. AND you CANT use the full weight of the complete round, ONLY the projectile leaves the barrel. That you dont even know that, why are you even arguing.
And there isnt anything wrong with the round, only that it in game incorrectly uses the APC/APCBC modifier. WHICH IT ISNT. Meaning its penetration is too HIGH.
Im pretty sure that table states some of the rounds have caps
Edit:
They are capped shells
Yes, 1 shell is capped, but only APBC, not APC or APCBC as such it cant get the Penetration boost. And its not even used in game. The rest isnt. If you got more shells, feel free to post them. Tho the 2 in game are not capped shells. Its the M/40 of 145g 815m/s and M/42 of 136g 845m/s.
BC does add some pen, the russians found that out.
Shells with BC had a far greater time penetrating FHA armour
No it doesnt, BC is just the ballistic cap, which shatters on impact to not interfer with penetration. Its just a thin steel (or light alloy) cap, it does not offer ANY penetration effect.
You are mixing it up with the C, Cap/Protective cap/Penetrative cap. Which either are a soft metal protector using the Rehbinder effect, or a Hardened steel tip going soft downwards to the actual tip, which shatters the FHA first layer and protects the tip by Rehbinder effect.
