View Full Version : Upgrade Strv 122
How will the upcoming Strv 122 differ from the 2A5DK?

The 122 has an enhanced armor package, both roof vs. top attack and below vs mine attack. I think it has an enhanced glacis package too. It uses the Galix system for obscurant and close anti-personnel defense. I believe it's the toughest armored Leo in production. (Not sure on that, though.)
I'm sure there are other tweaks to FC and other components as they customized it for their needs. The turret is locally produced, for instance. ('Net source.)
Lots of detail at http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/leo2.htm under Strv122.

The gunners day sight is a EMES 15 (3X/12X) and a night sight is a WBG-X (4X/12X)

Strv 122 will easily be the most brutal tank in the game. The Swedes sure know how to equip their tank fleet and mech inf. :cool:

They sure do!
Might be a good stand in for an M1A2 for a while.

It's just an M1A1 with thermals for the TC (gamewise atleast). You would have to go SEP to notice any big difference from the M1A1 in game.
And still then it would be the little brother to the 2A5 (sorry, couldn't resist :D )

maybe i should mention that some Strv 122´s get a brand new upgrade against mines (thicker armour in the bottom), a new driver seat (he´s now hanging in a suspended chair), and if im correctly informed it get a LEMUR Overhead weapons station wich the TC controls (can be equiped with any kind of machinegun, most commonly a M2 or a mk19 automatic grenade launcher)
wich also contains a few new TC optics wich gives it a better hunter-killer capability.
designation Strv (Stridsvagn) 122B

Its a new target designation system. The computer finds hot spots on the TIS and present them to the TC as possible targets. A red X appears on the possible target and the TC can choose to ignore it, save it or hand over to gunner. As well as the TC can save his "hot-spots" and in sequence hand over to gunner.
This system is kick ass....

Whoa! Thanks everybody. I didn't realize the Strv 122 had some of the different optics and targeting etc. Very impressive!

Can't wait to try it out in SB. Together with the CV9040 it will make a powerful combination.

Anyone know if such a system will be in OUR version of the Strv?

Neg, the 122B isnt out on the units yet.

Will the strv122 be implemented with thesame mine protection as the german leopard 2a6m - i think there are swedish strv 122s ( Strv 122M?) wich are equiped with it...

hmm, strv 122B sounds like an enhanced Finders system. all Leclercs use Finders, and the TC hands the contacts in sequence even on the move. though i dont think it does not have the capacity to find possible targets. the system relys on a electro/optical TC sight. the new Leclerc C2 is said to use TIS for both gunner and TC, so may be a possible upgrade to Finders?

finders actually seems possible. the swedes already bought galix, so why not?

Well, the purpose of the mine protection kit is to improve the survivability for the crew. But it eould still result in a mobility (and probably mission) kill. To that extent the difference wouldn't be dramatic within Steel Beasts' damage system.

On the Picture we can see that the Mine Protection System is the same than on the German 2A6M Tanks.

Its the same.. Germany, Sweden and two other countrys that I cant remember atm co-developed it, Sweden have purchased 10 of them to use on leos for foreign service

Has the Strv 122 the Euro Power Pack (MTU MT883 engine)? That means smaller engine (1 metre), more horsepower (1650 hp), better efficiency in comparision to the Leo 2 A5 DK (MTU MB 873 diesel engine with 1500 hp).
Will this "better" engine be simulated in the new patch? Is there a better acceleration for example?

The current Strv 122 still have the MTU MB 873 engine.. if I remember correctly..

i belive it´s planned to replace the engine in the strv 122 though....
but i cant say for sure, not really that involved...

Wether a 10% higher peak power output would be noticeable in Steel Beasts, I have my doubts. But we'll find out in about a year from now, maybe sooner.
dejawolf

10% larger power output, and a slight reduction in weight.
if i was designing the leopard, i'd use the extra space for storing more ammunition or fuel, behind blast doors.

Yeah All fine in reality but I like to know exacly the differences between 122 and Leo 2A5 in simulation
