Wonder 0 Posted December 15, 2003 What is the difference between SFP and OWN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted December 18, 2003 sfp makes addons OWN will make a mod.. thats like the biggest diffrence what i know, and based on what they said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted December 18, 2003 So, are you working together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Haven't you considered working together? I'd rather see ONE good Strv122 being published next year than TWO not-that-good in 4 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iNeo 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Haven't you considered working together? I'd rather see ONE good Strv122 being published next year than TWO not-that-good in 4 years. They really don't want to. I have got the feeling that SFP focuses on quantity while OWN focuses on quality. People value different things. OWN will release a new demo shortly after Christmas/New Year's, their forum is here and their site is here (with pictures). ...oh, swede already posted the links.

CrunchyFrog 0 Posted December 19, 2003 I would like to see three human players control that tank... Gunner: "Alittle to the right... now alittle to the left... no alittle more... no thats too much..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sole 0 Posted December 19, 2003 no iNeo, OWN;s attitude is what we don't like.. but let's keep this from becoming another SFP vs OWN war. This was an OWN thread so talk about OWN.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bergmania 0 Posted December 21, 2003 Quote[/b] ]Gunner: "Alittle to the right... now alittle to the left... no alittle more... no thats too much..." The driver IS the gunner in the Strv 103 (S-TANK).. anyways the tank was a bad idea from the start.. it just sucks.. it can't fire on the move, when dug in it provides a bigger target than a Centurion tank (wich lasted longer in Swedish service) ..

the_shadow 0 Posted December 21, 2003 first of all, the S-tank was supposed to be a defensive tank, not offensive (we used the centurions for that) and its supposed to be camouflaged and dug in with just the barrel sticking out in front, and i can tell yuo this, hitting a tank with 3 meters of mud infront can be quite challanging, especially when it is as low as it is. (around half the height of a centurion) beside that it has a really higy rat of fire (20 rounds/minute) a long and accurate 105mm smoth bore gun with a huge punch and it´s also really fast, i mean it has a dedicated backward driver if they hav to retreat in a hurry and still being able to fire at anamy (although it wont be easy to hit but lucky shots do happen you know) the downside of the tank was its short tracks (harder to climb obstacles) and complicated suspension (prone to brake down) besides that, it was really good at what it was suposed to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mads bahrt 0 Posted December 22, 2003 I did read a text by a retired swedish colonel (as far as I remember) where he told about all the things that was wrong with the S-tank. He went as far as to say that it was quite lucky that it wasn't tested in a war... google for it yourself.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted December 22, 2003 if im not wrong US SFOD have run into a couple of them in sout america , and how the hell they ended up there is a huge mystery becouse we have never (officially) sold anyone. anyway, the SFOD is according to the version i have heard supposed to had a bit trouble knocking of these bastards (AT weapons did´nt do any harm from the position they fired at it (front) becouse of the RSV bars in front of it.... in the sides it would probably have smacked it quite hard no, if this story is true or just a makup tho brag about the "tank" i dont know, but probably it is. (a makup that is) anyway, it´s mora a SP AT gun then a tank. as long as it shhots first it would probably do alright ;) even thoug it is all other then invisible on IR (smoke exhaust pointed upwards straight over the engine results in a HUGE heat cloud above it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bergmania 0 Posted December 22, 2003 Hmm.. Quote[/b] ]first of all, the S-tank was supposed to be a defensive tank, not offensive (we used the centurions for that) There is no such thing as a defensive tank.. then it is a tank destroyer..

(around half the height of a centurion) A dug in 103 shows more front area than a dug in Strv 104 as the hole you put it in have to be big enuff so that the 103 can turn (to be able to aim the gun) and surely the oncoming enemy will not stand still... Anyways here is the Colonels report on STRV-103 http://www.forsvarsframjandet.org/FMF-98-4/Strv-103.htm There is a rumor that a Strv-121 shot a full caliber training round straigt thru a 103 when we first got it.. don't know if its true but I've heard it from a officer at P7 Revingehed.. But we now have the most advanced MBT in europe.. Strv-122 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
