I havent played the game since the f106 update. It seems they changed the cv90120 to cv90120t and made it 35 tons from the original 27t. What changed and when
Somewhat recently.
It’s also not really accurate by any means and has been reported by multiple people, yet the reports are still pending.
TL;DR of the situation is;
Ingame-configuration is what is shown in a 2006 brochure (not exactly because ingame variant uses different skirts but still).
The 2006 brochure lists “principal characteristics”, including the “up to 35t” weight figure.
Now there are prior brochures, which list 28t for the exact ingame-configuration (under “CV90120-T Specifications”) but those are essentially disregarded.
The 2006 brochure also lists the vehicle with components from the CV90 MK. 3 hull (engine e.g.), which conveniently has a max. weight limit of 35t. (surely that doesnt have anything to do with the “up to 35000kg” figure /s)
Then there also is a modification/configuration of the CV90120-T, which features additional equipment and thus physically has to be heavier.
As coincidence would have it, that also has the same “max 35t” weight figure, despite being atleast 500kg heavier due to the AMAP-ADS APS.
So to summarize;
It shouldnt not have a weight of 35t in its current ingame-configuration. (The maximum weight of the CV90120-T today is 38t btw, the hull however rated for >45t)

Idk, last response was just that there is “conflicting information”.
Maybe they will accept and revert it, maybe they wont.

ig I can also quickly add images from the respective brochures as reference, since words are cool but sources are better;
(uses same images as 2006 brochure btw)
Lists: 26-28t combat weight
Engine: 450-500kW
Lists: “up to 35 000 kg”
Engine: 600kW
CV90120 configuration, w/ AMAP-ADS APS at the MSPO EXPO in 2007 (same configuration was shown at different expos prior, this image just has way better quality)
Lists: “up to 35 000 kg”
Engine: 600kW
Part of a FMV presentation proving the weight of the AMAP-ADS APS to be 500kg;
CV90 MK 3 Brochure, listing 20-35t weight class; (2004)
Shows the same picture of CV90120 as the 2006 brochure btw
2025 Brochure and website listing;
Max weight >45t GVW-R, but also lists the weight to range from 26t - >40t.
Remember which brochure also listed 26t as min-weight? :)
This version is based on the CV90MK IV which has a max weight rating of >45t GVW-R but only w/ the 1000hp engine. What a coincidence that BAE Systems once again lists the max. chassis weight here, almost as if that’s what they usually do.
And the BAE-Systems website listing the current maximum weight to be <38t;
All of this + other resources available (that I am too lazy to dig up rn) make it very clear that the 35t figure is just utter nonsense and a misinterpretation of given sources.
This is the actually modelled ingame-configuration btw (Picture from 2003 as far as I can tell, aux. sight is covered in this picture)
And additionally, here is our ingame-configuration shown at an expo in 2002;
