-The {{Specs|name}} was a Swedish attempt at creating a self-propelled platform for the Bofors 20 mm anti-tank/anti-air autocannon L/70 (Swedish designation ''20 mm automatkanon (akan) m/40''). The idea was to reuse the chassis of the failed Landsverk L-120 prototype tankette and fit it with the aforementioned weapon to trial the concept. The trials were somewhat successful and would lead to the development of the [[Lvkv fm/43]].

 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (shortened '''{{Specs|pseudonym}}''') was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] along with the initial Swedish ground tree. The {{PAGENAME}} is a fast vehicle with a hard-hitting 20 mm cannon, making it a versatile vehicle. Its speed and manoeuvrability give it a feeling of driving a light tank with an autocannon similar to the [[Panzer II]] but with more vulnerability due to the exposed gunner and limited crew, making the {{PAGENAME}} an easy vehicle to knock out. However, due to the 36-round drum and the versatility of the [[Lvakan m/40B (20 mm)|Lvakan m/40B]] cannons, it can deal with most opponents it will face, both on the ground and in the air.

-A further drawback of this vehicle's armament is the total ammo count at only 108 rounds with the possibility of taking 3 belts. This hugely limits its performance, especially against aircraft as acquiring the lead will usually take a fair few shots. By the time a critical shot is landed, most of the ammo will likely be gone. For this reason, it's not recommended to take a magazine of the full HE belt, as this will take up a third of the {{PAGENAME}}'s total potential ammo, meaning a third of the shots will have no effect against enemy ground targets, and given that attacking ground vehicles is a more adept method of play for this vehicle, it is best to maximise the {{PAGENAME}}'s anti-tank ability. The AP belt can cut through a max of 42 mm of flat armour, so at close range the vehicle will have no trouble knocking out the majority of enemy vehicles.

 The Pvlvv fm/42 is equipped with the m/40B 20 mm cannon, which sports effective performance against tanks and aircraft if the rounds hit, and especially regarding aircraft - that's not an easy task. The cannon can only elevate to 45 degrees, which commonly isn't enough to get an attack angle on most aircraft as they will be flying too high up, making this quite a tedious anti-air vehicle to use in its intended role.

 '''Pros:'''
 * Decent mobility
 * Extremely fast reload allows the Pvlvv fm/42 to nearly seamlessly fire off two magazines before the gun finally overheats and jams
 * Single magazine rearm on a capture point takes about 4 seconds, which allows SPAA to completely resupply while fighting back
