The Hungarian Nimrod AA/AT tank was similar, the Toldi and the 40mm arming it both originating with Swedish designs. Seriously, the Nimrod turret would've fitted the Panzer III, creating an effective FlaKPanzer long before Germany came up with the Wirbelwind.

[@unclejohnbulleit2671]

I'm hoping they give us the Nimrod.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

I thought this thing was just a nimrod given to the fins

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

​@@nikoclesceri2267 sort of... the Nimrod took the predecessor to this (the Landsverk L-62 Anti I) and modified it for the Hungarians (they added an extra loader, doing so by making a larger turret), as well as improving turret front armour (from 13mm to 28mm) and later swapping out the L8V/36TR engine (160hp) for a Hungarian Ganz IP VGT 107 Type II (260hp according to some sources), and then some further minor differences. (also later Nimrods were modified to be able to load and fire 150mm Stielgranate rifle grenade: 180mm pen at 60 degrees HEAT with, 2.42kg of explosive, only 110m/s) this (the Anti II) differs from the original L-62 by haveing extra hull armour (20mm max vs 13mm on the Anti 1/Nimrod) and turret armour (20 vs 13, but still less than the Nimrod's 28) the Nimrod is thus 10.5tons vs this which is 10.7tons due to less armour overall, despite having more armour upfront. it also has a better power-to-weight ratio (especially the later Nimrods)

[@Michael_OBrian]

Can you do a video on the design and history of the CV90 family?

[@R0dolphus]

A few things: 1. Play the matilda, same gun size, worse firerate, more armor. 2. There are Finnish voice line now, hell yeah. 3. Sometimes when checking the distance the voices shout out the distance, before it shows it to you. Usually it is 50 m farther than actually. Meaning: knowing different languages is an advantage.

Attempt 7 at requesting the British Conqueror, should be an interesting play with it’s 120mm, serviceable armor and full plane stabilizer, a better choice compared to the american M103 which only has HEAT-FS going for it downsides are: APDS, British, Heavy tank (basically everything anti-spookston)

[@o-hogameplay185]

the conqueror is the worst tank in game. servicable armor? like when anything with 88mm APHE or higher hits the matlet, the crew dies of emotional damage, or the ammo explodes: or all the 17mm cast armor hatches, that will be OPd by anything? Or the general 30mm turret roof? what about the gun? the APDS is not a problem, the issue is that it is early APDS. so accuracy is terrible, and it shatters on literally everything. if by some miracle it hits the target, and pens it, the most it will do is emotional damage. not to the enemy, but to the player with the conqueror. Oh, it is slow as heck too.... The only thing it does better than the m103 is having a stabilizer the m103 is faster, has good armor, a much more potent gun (ap will pen most things, and it does fairly good damage, if that's not enough you have HEAT, or HE), and it has no ready rack, while the conqueror has a laughably small 8 round ready rack, that might gets you 2 assists before it runs out. oh, also the m103 will not get OPd by 122mm HE too...

3:30 Funny thing is, that is the best pronunciation of the name I've heard from a non-Swede.

[@iffracem]

This thing sees 1.7 "enemies", yet works so easily at 4.0 and above. It is the perfect tool for seal clubbers. And Gaijin allows, even encourages it, it's almost as bad as the imbalance of CAS compared to any ground vehicle, and a perfect example of the very broken BR system. And why on a personal level I rarely bother to open the WT client. So much talk about how the "economy" is being fixed (and credit to Gaijin, at higher BR's it appears it is) but problems like this still remain, exasperated by their "events" that encourage selfish play. It can "one shot" an armoured ground vehicle, yet a lightly skinned plane will survive? (even heavily armoured planes have way less armour than a tank) How is that possible?

[@gamerin4d]

You said it yourself, planes dont have basically any armor, so the rounds for the 40mm dont get fused so they don't go boom, whereas when it hits a tank, the armor is thick enough to fuse the shell

[@holomatic1549]

@@gamerin4d Its almost as if SPAAs were designed to fire specifically at planes and held fire against anything that wasn't a plane, something a game cannot replicate due to meta-gaming on the players side.

[@vincenzoimbragulia8152]

@@holomatic1549you are absolutely foolish if you believe aa was only used against aircraft. And this vehicle, was originally designed as a light tank destroyer.

[@iffracem]

@@gamerin4d Your response is valid, but ignores the point the thing is totally "unbalanced" in a ground forces point of view. And even in an purely SPAA viewpoint, you'd expect that a player that was actually going to target planes would chose the rounds that could take out a plane (which are available), but no-one does, because... 1. Those rounds aren't that effective, especially with "real shatter" as currently implemented, and the very slow traverse/vertical movement makes low rank SPAA use difficult (skill issue, yep)... and 2. while you're trying to take out a plane, the rest of the enemy vehicles can see your tracers and have a free shot at you. Besides, there's no more points (rp/sp) to be gained trying to down air, while ground targets are so much easier. That's also why you rarely see a plane trying to provide "top cover" taking out other planes... ground vehicles are so much easier to hit, and with the same reward, so why bother? Why would you try to take out planes with your SPAA (or plane) when taking out tanks is so much more profitable and easier? Planes can continue to shoot/bomb/rocket ground targets even though the game declares them "destroyed", but if a ground vehicle loses the commander, just one crew member out of many, it then can't defend itself. (assuming the ground vehicle actually has an armament that can possibly counter air... like a 50 cal) My point , I guess, is that CAS in ground forces is not balanced in any way at all, and is far more problematic than the unballance of ground vehicles. .
