Of course its meant to have optical tracking, gaijin considered adding IRST to Swedish IFVs but then decided against it. Can't have anything that can compare to the 2S38 after all)))))))

Love the 9040's. The SPAA variant of it, lvkv 9040C, I once got 10 air kills in a single game with it. Was absolutely nuts. Probably one of my fave AA in the game. Recently got the ASRAD though and that thing's pretty fun too.

[@WalrusJones185]

For scouting I think you should be able to reset missed scouts by doing damage, that way if you are willing to expose yourself you can have the penalties go away.

[@paperthik9262]

The main problem I have with all the 9040's is 1 the 500m arming distance for proxy shells making you miss ALOT of shots on planes flying at you due to it not arming in time and 2 the 24 ready rack that takes AGES to reload fully if you empty it, I'm not sure but it looks like the 9040 gun uses a magazine to feed it so I think it can be switched out for a new one full of 24 rounds but I didn't do my research just heard some things from a few friends so I'm assuming here tell me if I'm wrong though. I still would like to see the spaa version of the 9040 get a buff to its ready rack because 24 rounds is not enough to kill planes with when just shooting and I don't want to have to worry about my ammo and tap fire a spaa for gods sake. let me also say the first-stage ammo stowage needs 3 second to start reloading, then 2 seconds to reload one bullet, then more 3 seconds to start reloading the first-stage again, taking 54 seconds total between the last shot and being full again and if you empty the magazine to just 1 round left its still 51 seconds total to get from 1 to 24 in the ready rack and that's for all 9040's, while it takes 4.8 seconds of continuous firing to drain the 24 ammo ready rack, its horrendous in any fight that requires constant shooting to not die. I love playing the 9040's and do well in them but these problems annoy me personally and get me killed a lot in them just my opinion though. Sit the 9040 on a point though and you sir have a fun time as anti tank and anti cas very fun.

[@95Karlsson]

IRL STRF driver here. The reload is actually a bit faster in game than it is IRL. The gunner loads the shells in to 3 different slots one at a time. Meaning you can not aim the gun while loading unless the commander takes over. even then you can't really fire the gun unless you want to risk breaking the gunner hands.

Hey Justin, love your videos as always! Always fun to watch and learn new things from them even after having played on and off since 2013! One question I do have, if you don't mind, is about your sound settings and audio setup for the game. I notice you and most other KZbinrs/streamers who play this game will pickup and notice sounds that aren't even audible or discernible in direction in anyway to me (usually just hear my teammates 90% of the time vs enemies) So I was just wondering what your setup for the audio side of the game is, seems like there's a lot of room for improvement regarding that on my end.

I may have to have a look at some of my headsets settings for WT then, mess around with it a bit, could also be due to using the Stereo setting in game but not certain.

[@hoshyro]

Nice Video!

[@painmail]

I dunno about instant cooldown or reset for scouting, but half the cooldown on missed scouts at least. The timer is unreasonably long especially when you can clearly see the enemy, it's only a few hundred meters out, but because of a unrendered bush or rock, it doesn't count towards the scout and puts you on a full cooldown.

Underrated?! I think it's one of the worst IFVs. Horrendous mobility means you can't even get to a safe capture point in time so researching mods is painful. Flanking is difficult because it's so slow. The limited ammo and slow reload is deadly. Did you GE the modifications? Because that changes the experience completely.

i'm finding it a bit biased, that both the bmp2m which is just better, with amazing atgm's and the 2s38 with double the pen and double first stage storage both sit at 10.0 with that thing. both of those tanks are also quite a bit faster, and both get gen 2/3 thermals as well...

this change would be fine if they atleast gave it realistic reload times. a trained crew going for speed can reload the rack in less than 20 seconds. thats less than one second/round instead of the 3 seconds/round we have now. also the amount of time before reload starts after firing needs to be reduced.

[@95Karlsson]

As far as gameplay goes I do agree that the reload needs a buff. However that is a bit unlikely since the reload is already a bit faster in game compared to IRL. Especially if you've emptied out the magazine completely. The gunner needs to reset a spring at that point which takes over a minute to do from start to finish.

[@_gmmaann_]

They have pretty much nerfed all threats to the SU-25s and other CAS. Proxy rounds don’t work, 9040C got ammo halved as shown, stingers are worthless. All un needed changes.

[@Amexel]

For some reason they decided that basically only the LVKV 9040C could use the full ammo stowage (which all CV9040's have) for some weird reason. Also yeah the proxy is so weird I can see it getting triggered and explode and don't even get a hit even though it's literally exploding on the aircraft. Also, the reload rate is worse than what you can do irl, I believe you even reload it 3 rounds at once but I'm not super sure on that one. Also sometimes it just refuses to damage barrels idk why. CV9040 suffering

[@95Karlsson]

The IRL reload is actually slower than in game. At least if you count all the steps needed. Like if you empty your ready rack completely it takes around a minute to load the first shot. There’s a hand crank and stuff that needs turning. It takes time to release the individual shells from the carousel, you can only slide them in one at a time. Between every other shot you need to hit a switch to make room for more shells. You can also only fire 8 shots before needing to switch to another compartment and so on. There’s a bunch of other stuff going on as well but in short, the reload is much faster in game than it is IRL.

[@Amexel]

@@95Karlsson interesting, why is it designed that way? I feel like the Bofors engineers would realize that more ammo ready to fire is advantageous.

[@95Karlsson]

@@Amexel My assumption is size restraints and maybe for reliability? It’s already pretty cramped in the turret so there’s no room for a bigger magazine or feeding mechanism. I would guess the intended doctrine plays a factor as well. Pop up, unload up to 8 shots, pull back, reload pop up somewhere else. Sweden mainly uses defensive tactics after all.

[@Amexel]

@@95Karlsson true. It just feels a bit lackluster when there's 30 and 35mm autocannons with double or triple the amount of rounds ready to fire. But as you say, different doctrine and perhaps more realiable. Thanks for the correction!

[@95Karlsson]

@@Amexel As far as I was told Sweden went for the 40mm just to pack a bigger punch with each shot. Bigger blast and more shrapnel for the HE shot, more penetration for the darts, potential for more advanced ammunition in the future and so on. I’m sure they had their reasons.

Yeah I'm wondering about a lot of things as are others. Seems like none of the nations can have anything that fully competes with the 2s38, of course. This should have the optical tracking. And something that I literally just had happen tonight, another blatant example of opposite of Russian bias, it's ridiculous. I'm in my German PUMA and am seeing a Leo teammate fighting a T80UK pointblank so I drive up right around it circling it and shooting it everywhere with the darts over and over, doing damage but not enough to destroy it, and I'm hitting everything, gun, engine, sides, crew, turret. It was probably 20-30 shots and it finally blew up after setting it on fire. Now contrast that with usually when I face a 2s38 in any of my top tier mbts, Leo2a6 or 5, Abrams etc, it can easily destroy me in 1 or 2-3 hits. It's ridiculous the bias and advantage they have. Not just the 2s38 of course but that's an example I'm comparing to the PUMA. It's ridiculous. I literally had to pop smoke and wait for reload incase he got his gun back, because he must have taken out my teammates ability to fire. The PUMA should be able to do way more damage and this vehicle in your video should have other options as well.

You put in two shells, one at a time before hitting a switch that makes them fall down two steps in the rack. Then you can load two more. Again, one at a time, before hitting the switch again.

Type 89: first time? Joking aside, it's acceptable to have "realistic" vehicles but come on...they really have to cut the ammo when the real life change was done in the view of the infantry transported? Jeez this game really like to punish non-russian ifv users...

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Oh thats coming soon, after the BR changes

[@markrocci1955]

These things perform so poorly in War Thunder. A real shame considering the CV 90 platform is essentially the best IFV platform in the world.

Day 1 of asking Justin to do a set up tour

[@blackpanther6878]

stupid nerf those tanks dont get played a lot sadly because there just bad in comparison too other autogun tanks atleast give them back the fast reload so dat u can load 4 shell at the same time like it was when there released those tanks

[@hongschauble3700]

Day 2 asking Justin to play mid tier in wt

[@user-rg1xw2rk5j]

Lvkv is just better. Have 5 crew members, aim air targets and costs 70 points.

[@einar8019]

should have 7 crew

[@Kwisss]

@@einar8019Why would it have 7 its 5 crew to operate the vehicle its not meant to be used as an infantry transport like the 9040C.

[@einar8019]

@@Kwisss the lvkv 9040 has 7 crew irl thats why, driver, commander, gunnner and 4 radar operators

[@dabu55ify]

meanwhile 2s38 at the same br is 4 times better and there are people who will say russian bias doesn't exist in this game

[@airsoftpopcorn]

Sadly that is the premium problem, new players buy it and don’t know how to play the game, so its br goes down

[@AsphaltCowboyUSA]

Lol RU bias is alive and kicking 😂 since closed beta.

[@fabiomacal]

Gaijin nerfing vehicles for no reason... Typical. Not to mention, Gaijin keep chaging map terrains, making maps smaller and dumber :/

[@theycallmeklutchkid]

Dude american desert literally feels like a fishbowl now

[@Error-5478]

Gaijins hate for everything not Russian is hilarious

Day 3 of asking for OH-58D

[@some_random_wot_dude485]

Hello I am early today :)

[@axlfrhalo]

The reload is wrong on the cv90. it feeds from two 8 round clips at the same time, each being reloadable individually. This allows you to feed HE or APFSDS whenever you want and independently, it also lets you reload one clip while the other is dispensed allowing (if reloaded quick enough) continuous fire. It should not reload one round at a time as it does right now, it should be 8 rounds at a time. This has been like this since it was added and it is beyond stupid given at the same time you have vehicles like the ostwind 2 etc that seemingly feeds from an infinite belt, requiring no reload intervals yet they are clearly mag fed.

[@95Karlsson]

This is all incorrect. In game reloading is actually a bit faster than it would be IRL. The 9040 feeds its gun from 3 ammunition compartments. Usually darts to the sides and HE in the middle, depending on mission requirements. These three compartments are loaded one shell at a time by the gunner who has to reach down, unstrap the ammo in pairs from the carousel below the turret, slide them in to the desired compartment one at a time, hit a switch to make the first two move lower in to the compartment before repeating the process all over until the compartment is full. He then hits another switch to select a different compartment and repeats the previously mentioned steps, occasionally needing to rotate the carousel or even the turret to be able to reach more shells. Furthermore if you fire until empty you need to screw in a hand crank that needs to be turned for like a minute in order to set a spring in the autoloader mechanism.

[@Niko_rj]

Su 25 can withstand a MANPADS and continue to fly, but here is some kind of 40mm projectile... how much fuse does it have compared to a MANPADS? oh yes, unlike the stinger, this projectile also rarely hits the plane directly, it explodes in the air. So there is cant be any "bias"

[@Oberkaptain]

10.0 Sweden is the best one in the game.

[@airsoftpopcorn]

Are there really many other 10.0 lineups anymore

[@Oberkaptain]

@airsoftpopcorn not sure. I just end up playing Sweden at this point. Only have 4 tanks left to spade and up to br9 for aircraft.

[@Manneerik13373]

strf9040's don't have optical tracking.

[@filipkatila5511]

They do lol

[@Eyeless_Camper]

They dont, they uses the LRF to laze target multiple times and it calculate the lead aslong as it flies straight.@@filipkatila5511

[@95Karlsson]

It’s more like laser tracking. The gunner measures range twice, computer does some math and the laser starts measuring a few times every second to keep updating target location. The gun also moves on its own. The gunner only needs to do inputs if the target maneuvers or changes speed.

[@MiG21fanboy]

Hey justin, with the br changes coming soon, you should take out the black prince as the 5.3/5.7 germany is moving up, the black prince will bully tigers and panthers
