Meanwhile light tanks such as Strv m/31, m/38, m/39, m/40 and m/41, as well as a medium tank Strv m/42, and their modifications are quite easy to trace, nothing I could find about Lago, except that it was used as a basis for further development of Strv m/42, that it was some “project”.
I also heard a point from game community that this tank didn’t even exist in real life as it is in game, but I am not expert on Swedish armor. It is quite unknown in public sources except for being referred to Strv m/42 often. What do we know about it and why some people call it fake? Was it just a single prototype to be rearmed and rearmored, so we could see serial Strv m/42?
Here’s a good article on it.

it’s good overall but very confusing on the start. So L-60 was named Lago too, or not? Though 1938 “Lago” drawing is very similar, I’ll say identical to L-60 Strv m/38 in the game, except for, as article states, having 47mm gun instead of 37mm in-game. 1940 drawing already matches the in-game Lago 1. What also is interesting, it states that Lago 1 prototype had 40mm Hungarian gun for export purposes instead of 37mm in-game. Maybe the in-game Lago 1 should also have 40mm gun, perhaps identical to Turan 1’s by specs, despite being different visually? It is also visually different from kan m/38 by having less conical barrel and a muzzle brake
