Is that first picture a bmp with a 25mm bushmaster?
And what is the goober in the 3rd photo, it looks funny
Yes it is a Lav 25 turret on a BMP, Poland and a few other countries trialed them but didn’t go with them.
And the “KV-1” was used to help Finnish Troops identify KV-1’s on the field. Its a T26 iirc

Lav 25 turret on a bmp honestly sounds pretty cool!
I need the fake Kv-1 now!! PLEASE
Very little from what i can find on a cursory search, 120mm is all i personally know for now.

Edit:
Though it should technically be able to fire all of the pre existing 120mm rounds in service.
So like airbursts, “normal” ones, smoke, flairs and timer.
Edit2:
No idea if this can be fired, but one can dream:
Id love to know if Finland or sweden have any OPFOR vehicles they’ve used, i dont think we have any, maybe Norway does.
Also we could get the Finnish T26 with a flamethrower mounted to it, it has a little trailer it pulled along though i think it replaced the main gun.
Yeah they replaced the main gun

How can we get proxi back for veak 40???
We don’t, instead we try to get more people to mark Karnitin’s bug report for the missing velocity and better rounds for the Veak.

Seconding this - I’d be okay with some restrictions being put on it, even, if it means we get the actual SPAA rounds for an SPAA
I want it, but I know life would suck without the main gun…
We don’t. i have so far found zero evidence it ever used proxy rounds before being commissioned, at best the trials for 40mm proxy started the same summer the VEAK 40 was decommissioned (and the 40mm proxy trials was for the navy, the army didn’t get the proxy until years after that).

The Lvkv 42 & VEAK 40 has the completely wrong ammunition! // Issues Community Bug Reporting System
This was accepted as a suggestion 2 years ago, imo ill never touch the veak until its actually a decent SPAA unfortunately its a more mid ZSU-37-2 which when i did a test where i ran 10 matches in my ZSU-37-2 vs the Veak i performed better at SPAA and TD in the ZSU than the Veak. Tbf not fighting Russia makes being a TD very easy. Regardless at 7.7 the Veak simply lacks the velocity to make me want to use it.

This might be controversial, but I do genuinely believe that Sweden should get the Strv Leo and Strv Lansen. The 5.7~6.3 range is the most popular BR in the game, and those two are the best indigenous candidates for the role.

They are about as controversial as the Ho Ri’s, far too many people would be against it. Additionally it would be yet another thing for the masses to scream Swedish Bias.
I mean the leos are more than enough to immediately make all other problems in the TT not a concern and instantly the best tree from start to finish from air-ground because thats how much of a pedestal people put the Leos at.
Again id like to see other options before we lean into fictional things. Half built? Thats fair game as far as gaijin is concerned. Currently id like to see 4.x get some actual armor thats available via the TT aside from the T34. Sweden currently also lacks effective SPAA from 3.0 until 5.3 if you count the USH effective since one pass and your dead from a plane with 8mm guns. Additionally sweden lacks a viable 8.0 spaa and a real 7.7 lineup. A mid 7.7 SPAA a single Centurion, and a 7.0 TD disguised as a SPAA (basically the norm for sweden SPAA).
Sweden has massive gaps id rather see filled with vehicles from its subtree Finland before we head into paper vehicles. Additionally Sweden lacks a 5.x aircraft and they lack effective CAS from 3.0 until 8.3 (A21 is okay but theres basically far better multirole vehicles found much lower in BR’s than the A21’s though they are very much over BR’d imo, its why i still use the B-239 at 5.0 lol, very strong fighter)
Additionally i can’t get my hopes up for proper Danish or Norwegian vehicles as neither tree is a confirmed sub, so they still very well could have vehicles go to another nation. (Not that it would make sense.)
This is the kind of thing that lends more credence to the idea that there isn’t actually much bias at all - because no one can actually agree what’s getting biased towards, and Sweden of all places seems like a very unlikely candidate!
Agree - but I’m biased, I’m quite a Suomiboo at heart.
If there wasn’t such a big belief that Swedish Bias exists we wouldn’t have Smin arguing about a dev named Dmitry and his love of the Swedish tree lol

Well, that’s the thing though, isn’t it lol
“Belief,” vs “Proof.”
I could believe Russian Bias, because I can point at things as evidence cough cough Soyuz
But Sweden?
As someone who started on the Russian tree then switched to Sweden when he came back - lmao.
Ask the Germans or quite a few others. Again the main things they’ll point to are the Leos and their armor and the SAV 20.12.48 its a lackluster argument i agree but you cant change peoples opinions. You could maybe argue the Gripen A or the Americans will cry MLU 2 and BOL. Given i have most TT’s air done i personally wouldn’t recommend sweden air to anyone outside of waiting to hear them say how bad it is lol, forcing a friend to spade low BR sweden and he’s not loving the PVKV IV or the PVKV III, or most of sweden, im just clubbing with my Chi Ha LG, but i don’t think hes gonna continue sweden lol.
(Bonus maybe the USH but given the German have a much more annoying rocket slinger im gonna say the hate has moved to the more common one.)
Also it doesn’t take much effort to see how much the forum whine about sweden just look it up, 90% is just calling sweden better Germany because of Top tier and i guess the Kungtiger but again, Finlands other heavy is exclusive to Germany so its a trade. Not one i agree with but it is what it is.

One of my friends is saying he wants to start playing WT altogether with the Sweden tree.
I don’t want to tell him no, but… he’s definitely got his work cut out for him, having to learn the game mechanics from scratch in one of the harder trees to work with.
Do you know where I can find information on these?
