granQ 293 Posted September 20, 2005 Please can you post some pics/screen caps for us poor 56kers!! Not from the movie but let me present armor vehicles in SFP4.0 First off, how the Swedish army names its vehicles. Its: Type of vehicle number the number comes from diffrent reasons,and have no real logic but higher number is in often a sign for more modern. Also, sweden use the words "vagn" for more tracked vehicles, and "fordon" for cars, trucks and "lighter", both means vehicle, but vagn could probaly be translated to "carrier". Pbv = Pansarbandvagn = ArmortrackedVehicle, basicly APC. (like M113, MTLB) Patgb = PansarTerrängbil = ArmorTerrainCar, like the LAV, Stryker, Btr80 Strf = Stridsfordon = Combatvehicle, basicly IFV. (like m2a2,bmp3) Lvkv = Luftvärnskanonvagn = AirdefenseCannonVehicle, like the vulcan, shilka. Ikv= Infanterikanonvagn = infantryCannonVehicle = Light support tank for infantry. Strv = Stridsvagn = CombatVehicle, but in this meaning MBT, (like M1a1, T80) Ikv91 Light tank armed with a 90mm cannon and used before to support soldiers on assault, with helping out destorying enemy machineguns and other hardtarget. The ikv91 is very mobile and can swim but its armor is weak and even during its days (No longer used in swedish army) it didnt have a chance against a tank. Pbv302A Has served with the swedish armored/mechanized units since the late sixties. Are being fased out by different versions of the CV90-family. The Pbv302A is an APC armed with a 20mm automatic cannon, and can carry 8 combatequipped soldiers except the crew. Ambulance version: Pbv 501/Pbv 401 This two vehicles arent new for the ofp community. Both Pbv 501 (Bmp-1) and Pbv401 (Mtlb) was bought cheap from Germany sometime in the 90's. The BMP-1 got its autoloader removed and doesnt have the antitank missile on its roof. Today its no longer used, just one or two that is used to keep the skills among the officers how to train and use it. Mtlb on the other hand is a real workhorse in the Swedish armor, not on any frontline duties but in the rear as diffrent support roles (communications, commandvehicles, repair, and to carry diffrent weapon systems like Bofors RBS 70). Patgb203/180 The patgb180 was implemented by the Swedish armed forces during the late eighties to be used as wheeled APC:s, primarily on the international arena in e.g. the Balkans. The Patgb203 was ordered in the late nineties to replace the ageing 180. The patgb203 is equipped with the same automatic cannon as the Pbv302A, and the Patgb180 is armed with a mounted 0.5 cal HMG, covered with armored plates. The 203 can carry 7 troops.

granQ 293 Posted September 20, 2005 Strf90 family The Cv90 family is a family of vehicles, covering many roles on the battlefield. SFP has made some of all versions. Strf90, or CV90 is the ground vehicle. A ifv armed with a 40 mm cannon (Same model as bofors 40 mm guns used during WWII), it has 3 versions. Adam = Alpha, is the first, wont be made. Bertil = Bravo, better systems (computer, optics) for the ability to fire on the move. Ceasar = Charlie, 5 tons extra weight, mostly for the extra armor. This version is primary made for peacekeeping missions. Strf90 Bertil Strf90 Ceasar Strf904056 Armed with "robot 56", anti-tank missile, this is currently a prototype, the cost to buy them wasnt worth it our goverment said, but OFP is a game so we dont have to worry about such stuff. =) Lvkv 90 Another version that will be made is the Lvkv 90, even with its low rate of fire and singel barrel, the smart 40 mm round is very deadly, the system is designed to explode near the chopper/plane and small fragments will then go thru the plane and kill the pilot. This system means, even in ofp, that you dont need a direct hit to destory a enemy chopper, in theory you could even kill a chopper behind a visual cover by firing above it. Stri90 Stri90 is were you find the commanding officer for the brigade and other officers. The cannon is just a fake one so it should look like a normal strf90, the machingun looks abit diffrent even if its the same (diffrent placement). The turrent itself is diffrent. It has more antennas then the normal strf90 and no sight on its faked cannon. Its only armed with a machinegun. A execellent "MHQ" in CTI games.. ? Strv 122 A German leo but with extra armor and communications equipment. The name, Stridsvagn 122 refers to its a 120 mm gun and its the second tank in Sweden that used that, Strv 121, that was first tank to use 120 mm, won't be made and isnt really used today anyway.

Przezdzieblo 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Cool promotion video! The best looking pack since last OFrP release, cannot wait to play the guy in Fältjacka M/90 (the prettiest camo ever!; the end of Operation White Night mod was real sad for me...). One question - what about addon pack configuration? Is it BIS compatible, would you use JAM3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Thank`s, downloading now. To use music from Manowar is the best choise imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king homer 1 Posted September 20, 2005 Really nice movie! I especially like the Strv 122! What about including some nice tracer effect script for the 120mm maingun? Or do Strv 122 not use tracer ammunition? Also reloadtime of the maingun seems very long (more than 10 seconds), maybe you can cut that down to the half. But all in all, I really can't wait for SFP 4.0 ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet85 0 Posted September 20, 2005 no traisers for the 122 no and a good loader when he is rested loads at 6-7sec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gedis 0 Posted September 20, 2005 yeah, this is right... 6-7s loading time for this hand loaded gun... this is not T-90 which can boost up loading to 4s :P but realy, nice screens, nice leo besides, i don't know exsactly, but swedian leos should be upgraded with new Leopard-2A6 smoothbore gun... will there be recently used version and upgraded?

Baltic? Try Nordic? Really looking forward to this, about time to replace those crappy (no offence ) stridsväst2k models from the old pack. Would love a Strv 103C but I guess it's not forthcoming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

granQ 293 Posted September 20, 2005 Question, this was armor movie.. what should we present next before release.. Air, soldiers, ground vehicles (boooring ), or boats.. or like someone said, a combat video.. little from everything? EDIT: fixed spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted September 20, 2005 I'd love an introdction to AMFBAT or something like that, maybe under the cover of a Viggen or something? Nice video by the way, can't wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HUNTER- 1 Posted September 20, 2005 yes yes yes yes excellent! That CV90 is really very nice! Finally there is a nice bofors cannon with the ejecting shells! Will it also have a working backdoor? The Netherlands allmost has the same setup, Leo2A6 tanks with currently YPR's in service but they are going to be replaced by the CV9035 with the 35mm cannon. There is also a movie online somewhere, you can see a CV9040 shooting, those types of cannons are fierce. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM Anyway really looking forward to these addons!

Sole 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Would love a Strv 103C but I guess it's not forthcoming The 103 was considered, but dropped after testing different aproaches to make the supsension work. The basic model was donated to the Swedish Cold War Crisis team though, so perhaps you will see it eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
