The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a modernized version of the Strf 9040, developed by BAE Systems Hägglunds in Sweden. Compared to the A and B versions, the {{PAGENAME}} comes with a new turret with improved protection, enhancing the survivability and situational awareness of the crew. It was also equipped with air conditioning that made it more comfortable for the crew to be deployed in warmer climates and for more international usage.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]].

The {{PAGENAME}} is a Swedish IFV capable of firing modern shells at a devastating rate, effectively dealing with any type of opponent it faces, resulting in a valuable support vehicle.
  
−
The {{PAGENAME}} was introduced along with the initial Swedish ground tree in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. Having high mobility in all terrains and a fast-firing autocannon, it is an excellent nimble and hard-hitting light tank for the Swedish line-up. Compared to most IFVs found in the game, the {{PAGENAME}} is quite different to its peers. The tank has no anti-tank missiles, and sits at the highest ranks, facing vehicles other IFVs never get to experience. This is due to the design of the vehicle, as the {{PAGENAME}} features a reliable 40 mm Bofors cannon which should be familiar to most players. However, this cannon fires APFSDS, capable of shredding any opponent from the side, even frontally in some cases. This compensates for the lack of missiles, and results in a highly versatile vehicle capable of disposing of several opponents at once, as it can fire up to 24 shells in the span of 12 seconds.

This is due to the design of the vehicle, as the {{PAGENAME}} features a reliable 40mm Bofors cannon, which should be familiar to most players.

If the anti-tank capabilities weren't enough, the cannon features proximity-fused HE shells, capable of tearing apart any unsuspecting aerial opponent. This feature is incredibly useful in higher tiers, as close-range helicopters and attacking planes are incredibly common. Despite the {{PAGENAME}} lacking any form of radar equipment compared to its SPAA counterpart, the [[Lvkv 9040C]], the tank can still effectively deal with aerial targets, especially at closer ranges.

<!-- ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members.

+
 
−
The tank has a decent amount of armour for a light Tank. The tank is nearly completely covered with composite screens effective against chemical rounds.
+
The upper front hull a heavely sloped 20mm thick plate coverd with an variable thick AHP (Anti-Heat-Plate). The lower plate is only coverd on the upper half with AHP, but an really thick plate. Standard thickness is 20mm. In the front is also the engine and transmission that can stop any Heat that may gone trough the AHP. Also behind the engine is an 10mm thick inner plate that stops most shrapnells that come from the shell. The upper side has an inner 10mm plate, an outter 6mm plate that is behind an 160mm AHP. The lower side has an 10mm thick plate that is partly behind the sprocket system that ads another 30mm that is also behind an 80mm thick AHP. The back has no AHP, just a 20mm thick plate.  
  
−
The upper front hull is a heavily sloped 20 mm thick plate covered with composite screens. The lower plate is 20 mm thick and only covered on the upper half with a composite screen. In the front of the vehicle is located the engine and transmission that can absorb any round that may go through the composite screen. Between the engine and the crew compartment stands a 10 mm thick inner plate that stops most shrapnel that could come from a penetrating shell. The upper side has an outer 6 mm plate and an inner 10 mm plate, both behind a 160 mm composite screen. The lower side has only a 10 mm thick plate that is partly behind the sprocket system that adds another 30 mm and also behind an 80 mm thick composite screen. The rear of the hull is only a 20 mm thick plate.
+
Now the turret is completly coverd in 20mm plates exept for the gunmatlet that has 35mm raw. But the Turret is coverd from the front to 2/3 of the sides very well in AHP. Also the whole roof is 20mm thick.
  
−
The turret is completely covered in 20 mm RHA plates except for the gun mantlet which is 35 mm thick. The Turret is covered from the front to 2/3 of the sides with composite screens. The turret roof is only 20 mm thick.
+
At all is the Tank from front and sides turret and hull save from autocanons (most times depends on the angle),heavy/light machinegun fire and with some angle it's most times save from Heat shells of any kind with 400mm penatration. The amor when angeld is wuite bouncy but not even close to being enough to stop a APFSDS. The rear turret/hull can be penatret by anything that has a 50 cal. or sth. bigger.

'''Armour type:'''
+
The survibility is quite good, as long as overpressure does not waste the potential, cause of a realy empty space in the back, protectet fuel tank, small ammo storages and a speratet crewman from the turret. When shot in front 2 crewman can be taken out at once as well for the side, but hitting those if not known where they sit can save your tank soemtimes.

In 1983, the Combat Vehicle 90 group was created by representatives from many Swedish producers for high mobility vehicles with air defence and anti-tank capabilities in mind. In 1985, the chassis saw development and the first orders for the 40 mm Bofors cannons were done. A year later, in 1986 the prototypes for the Strf 9040 and Strf 9025 were ordered. The prototypes arrived in 1988. The vehicle entered full production in 1993 and is still produced to the present day.<ref name="fmv" />

In 2002 Stridsfordon 9040 "Ceasar" were deployed to the army, "Ceasar" version came with improvements by adding a new machinegun the [[Ksp 58 (7.62 mm)|Ksp 58]] compared to the previous versions that used the [[Ksp 39 C (7.62 mm)|Ksp 39]] over the machine gun the Strf 9040C also got an air conditioner built in for more international use where it could be deployed to warmer climates than used to in Sweden.

One of the Major differences between the "Bertil" version and the "Ceasar" version is the difference in overall protection for the vehicle, "Bertil" version on its 23,1 tonnage compared to the "Ceasar" version landed on 28 tonnage, this is due to the improvements of survivability by adding mine protection under the hull, splinter protection for the crew inside, Add-on armour on the outside with modules that heightens the protection of the chassis itself. all the periscopes also got upgraded with laser filtering. Due to the additional weight of the modifications of Strf 9040C, it decreased the troop carrying capabilities limiting it from 8 to 6 soldiers only.

Strf 9040C

Description

The Stridsfordon 9040C is a rank Swedish light tank with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury".

The Strf 9040C is a Swedish IFV capable of firing modern shells at a devastating rate, effectively dealing with any type of opponent it faces, resulting in a valuable support vehicle.

General info

Compared to most IFVs found in the game, the Strf 9040C is a lot different to its peers. The tank has no Anti-tank missiles, and sits at the highest ranks, facing vehicles other IFVs never get to experience. This is due to the design of the vehicle, as the Strf 9040C features a reliable 40mm Bofors cannon, which should be familiar to most players. However, this cannon features something unlike any other 40mm. The vehicle fires sub-caliber shells with fin-stabilization, capable of shredding any opponent from the side, even frontally. This compensates for the lack of missiles, and results in a highly versatile vehicle capable of disposing several opponents at once, as it can fire up to 24 shells in the span of 12 seconds.

If the anti-tank capabilities weren't enough, the cannon features Proximity-fused High-explosive shells, capable of tearing apart any unsuspecting aerial opponent. This feature is incredibly useful in higher tiers, as close-range helicopters and attacking planes are incredibly common. Despite the Strf 9040C lacking any form of radar equipment compared to its SPAA sister, the Lvkv 9040C, the tank can still effectively deal with aerial targets, especially at closer ranges.

Survivability and armour

The tank has a decent amount of amor for an light Tank. The whole Tank is nearly complety coverd with an amor package against Heat and missile rounds.

The upper front hull a heavely sloped 20mm thick plate coverd with an variable thick AHP (Anti-Heat-Plate). The lower plate is only coverd on the upper half with AHP, but an really thick plate. Standard thickness is 20mm. In the front is also the engine and transmission that can stop any Heat that may gone trough the AHP. Also behind the engine is an 10mm thick inner plate that stops most shrapnells that come from the shell. The upper side has an inner 10mm plate, an outter 6mm plate that is behind an 160mm AHP. The lower side has an 10mm thick plate that is partly behind the sprocket system that ads another 30mm that is also behind an 80mm thick AHP. The back has no AHP, just a 20mm thick plate.

Now the turret is completly coverd in 20mm plates exept for the gunmatlet that has 35mm raw. But the Turret is coverd from the front to 2/3 of the sides very well in AHP. Also the whole roof is 20mm thick.

At all is the Tank from front and sides turret and hull save from autocanons (most times depends on the angle),heavy/light machinegun fire and with some angle it's most times save from Heat shells of any kind with 400mm penatration. The amor when angeld is wuite bouncy but not even close to being enough to stop a APFSDS. The rear turret/hull can be penatret by anything that has a 50 cal. or sth. bigger.

The survibility is quite good, as long as overpressure does not waste the potential, cause of a realy empty space in the back, protectet fuel tank, small ammo storages and a speratet crewman from the turret. When shot in front 2 crewman can be taken out at once as well for the side, but hitting those if not known where they sit can save your tank soemtimes.

Usage in battles

Flanking or very carefully aimed shots are key as none of the 9040C's ammo types can penetrate the frontal armour of most MBTs found at the BR, but its high rate of fire means that penetrations are quickly lethal. Since the magazine carries 24 rounds, it is advisable to fire the weapon in burst of either four or eight rounds with an interval of 2 - 4 seconds in between, especially at range.

However, the vehicle's low armour and relatively average speed mean that patience and caution will be what keep you alive long enough to actually get those kills.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Rapid-fire 40 mm gun with APFSDS
  • Shreds enemy tanks from the sides
  • HE-VT useful against helicopters
  • Very mobile
  • Low profile
  • Deadly in flanking manoeuvres

Cons:

  • Susceptible to overpressure
  • Speed not too impressive when compared to other top tier tanks
  • Slpprj m/01 modification with an rather expensive ammo cost per round that will add up

History

In 1983, the Combat Vehicle 90 group was created by representatives from many Swedish producers for high mobility vehicles with air defence and anti-tank capabilities in mind. In 1985, the chassis saw development and the first orders for the 40 mm Bofors cannons were done. A year later, in 1986 the prototypes for the Strf 9040 and Strf 9025 were ordered. The prototypes arrived in 1988. The vehicle entered full production in 1993 and is still produced to the present day.[1]
