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.

{{Break}}
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.

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

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 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.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
'''Armour type:'''
 
 
 
* Rolled homogeneous armour
 
* Structural steel (storage boxes)
 
* Composite screen (external armour)
 
* Cast homogeneous armour (gun mantlet)

'''Notes:'''
 
 
 
* Suspension wheels and tracks are 15 mm thick.
 
* There are several 10 mm thick internal RHA screens around the engine compartment and in front of the driver which can protect them from small fragments. There is also a 10 mm thick internal RHA screen at each upper section of the hull sides.
 
* There are several plates of spall liner around the driver compartment and at the sides, rear and the top of the hull.

'''Notes''':
 
 
 
* Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
 
* Racks 6* (autoloader magazine) is a first stage ammo rack. It totals 24 shells.
 
** This racks get filled first when loading up the tank and is also emptied first.
 
** As the {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with an autoloader, manual reloading of the gun is not possible.
 
** Once the autoloader magazine has been depleted, you can't shoot until the loader has restocked the autoloader with at least 1 shell.
 
** Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 5 into rack 6*. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.
 
** The first-stage ammo stowage needs 3 second to start reloading, then 3 seconds to reload one bullet, then more 3 seconds to start reloading the first-stage again, taking more than 1 minute between the last shot and being full again so trigger discipline is a must.

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.
+
Flanking and patience is key, Its stock APSDFS, even the unlockable one, cant go trough the frontal armor or mantlet on almost all Main Battle Tanks it will commonly found, requiring side shots or aiming for weak spots (the turret ring etc), however, this can be tricky as at its Battle Rating pretty much all vehicles are very fast in all aspects, so caution is required, especially having hull break, which it can easily get by being shot by heavy machine guns from the side.
  
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.
+
Stick with teammates with dedicated tanks which can protect it from incoming shells, or hide and flank, like in bushes.

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.

Description

GarageImage Strf 9040C.jpg


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".

General info

Survivability and armour

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. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Realistic 486 Expression error: Unexpected round operator. __.__

Armaments

Main armament

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Advise about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Additional armament

Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.

Machine guns

Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.

Usage in battles

Flanking and patience is key, Its stock APSDFS, even the unlockable one, cant go trough the frontal armor or mantlet on almost all Main Battle Tanks it will commonly found, requiring side shots or aiming for weak spots (the turret ring etc), however, this can be tricky as at its Battle Rating pretty much all vehicles are very fast in all aspects, so caution is required, especially having hull break, which it can easily get by being shot by heavy machine guns from the side.

Stick with teammates with dedicated tanks which can protect it from incoming shells, or hide and flank, like in bushes.

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 hullbreak
  • Speed not too impressive when compared to other top tier tanks
  • Slpprj m/01 modification with an ammo cost of 290 SL per round means emptying the magazine of 25 rounds cost 7250 SL

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
