Will the strv 2000 or udes 20 xx ever come to the game

The strv 2000 was a tank from sweden with an 140mm canon and a 40mm canon it was sadly only a 1:1 scale woden mockup but all the tech existed

The udes 20 xx was a real tank made to see how the future of tanks would look like how ever only 1 was made and it got stuck in trenches due to its body

The one on the left is the udes 20 xx and in the middle is the strv 2000

UDES XX 20 has higher chances to come to the game as it was a functional vehicle, as for the UDES 15/16 and Strv 2000, the chances are about none considering that the vehicles wasn’t fully built.

as you can see these are just mockups and gaijin just cant go around adding cardboard cutouts to the game

The Udes XX20 was not just a cardbord mockup. image

strv2000 is supposed to have also 40mm bofors gun beside the 140mm gun like this:

its very unlikely to be added though, im not sure if even the 140mm gun was ever made but someone can correct me if im wrong?

its mockup was also kinda massive

I mean that was bc japan really needed something of that vehicle class and that was the only posible solution

strv2000 was

Nope.

Left: UDES 19
Middle: UDES 15/16
Right: UDES 11

All wooden mock-ups, but a prototype of the UDES 19 was built:

I wish the requirement for fully built vehicles would go, seeing as how its already been violated many times and realism flew out the window a long time ago. As long as the vehicle had a realistic chance to be built/functional, it would allow a lot more vehicles to be added especially for nations lacking as many choices as the “biggest” tech trees.

There is no such requirement.
Aslong as specific parts were made for a vehicle, even if the entire vehicle was never completed, it can be added in accordance to it’s official blueprints.

For example, I asked a suggestion-mod about ET3/73,which was a KanJaPz Belgienausführung, which was to be modified and fitted with the Oerlikon GDD-A turret.
The modifications to fit said turret were all completed, the turret trialed on another hull though. As the trials came to an end, the turret never ended up being fitted to ET3/73 but it can still be added, as the KanJaPz hull was modified specifically for this purpose, i.e. a major specific component built.

Mockups (which Strv 2000 was) do not count for this rule. The other vehicles were partially completed/functional prototypes and can thus be added.

There are also a ton of public BOFORS patents for the autoloaders of each of these vehicles, so they can be modelled in accordance to those technically speaking.

Been a while since i was looking around for it so my memories is a bit vague but i think the plan was to potentially modify an imported 140mm from germany or such

if we use this pic for an idea, the main cannon is blue which means the system exists but would need to be adapted/modified

Also we likely wont get this due to the fact that gaijin just cant make articulated vehicles as seen by the elde. They just have horrid mobility since the game engine just doesnt do those things

Its also the udes 20

No, again. Two distinct vehicles.

UDES 19
udes_19-skiss_web
udes19_rigg2_web

UDES XX 20
udes_xx20-skiss_web
udes_xx20_rigg1_web

Yes but the udes 20 is the udes xx 20 without the trailer

I feel like it would look a little odd without the trailer

It had the hull of the udes 19 but the gun of the udes xx 20

It would be one thing if there were already a lot of vehicles implemented in the national tree, but if there are only a few vehicles implemented in the national tree, wouldn’t it be okay to add more? I think it’s better to protect the uniqueness of the national tree than to run out of ideas or create copy-paste vehicles.
Also, I love strange tanks like the S-Tank, so I’m all for adding them!

Absolutely, Sweden made heaps of unique tanks because they haven’t been at war, so they had time and resources to experiment. And I feel like I wouldn’t be alone if I said that the majority of Sweden’s tanks should be those unique ones
