After the successful development of the CV 90105, its manufacturer decided to start the development of its successor, still working with the CV 90 chassis as a basis but with a 120 mm cannon designed by SW Swiss Ordnance Enterprise Corporation to increase the tank's firepower to MBT levels. The design remained focused on reducing weight and increasing speed, considering the tank relied on its speed and good fire control systems to survive. The vehicle is still in development and being improved, even after the design was finished, its final version was shown at an arms exhibition in 2011.

It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' builds upon the legacy of the CV 90105, with a more powerful cannon, a very quick reload rate thanks to its autoloader and barely enough armour to hold itself against HMG AP shots from the front. The tank is thus vulnerable to autocannon fire and 12.7 mm HMGs can penetrate the side armour. However, it does feature one of the best fire control systems in the game, with excellent third generation optics for both gunner and commander, and the commander's CITV having a very good zoom, up to 24.0x magnification.

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

The CV 90120 combines the Combat Vehicle 90's chassis with a new turret with a 120 mm CTG cannon. As a result, armour is barely present and can only withstand heavy machine gun from the front. Even autocannons can penetrate its turret and 12.7 mm machine guns can cut clean through its side armour. There is also a chance you will hull break even if no critical modules are damaged, so be aware, your main goal should be to not receive any enemy fire.

Despite beating other top-tier vehicles with incredible mobility, the {{PAGENAME}} achieves comparatively fast speeds on all types of terrain, even when stock. This makes it a lot easier to grind the vehicle, as most priority goes into getting the powerful m/95 round. The {{PAGENAME}} reaches speeds of just around 50 km/h quite often, and finds little to no trouble manoeuvring. Another upside is the gearbox, which allows the {{PAGENAME}} to move almost equally as fast in reverse. The vehicle is fast, and due to the lack of add-on-armour compared to the prior [[Strf 9040C]], the {{PAGENAME}} is actually lighter than the 40 mm variant before it. In addition, it gets an upgraded DI16 engine with 120 more horsepower, which results in improved power and torque. Although not comparable to tanks such as the [[Strv 121]] in terms of acceleration, the {{PAGENAME}} can definitively stand its own ground in poor conditions.

As discussed in the armour section, you have minimal armour meant to withstand small arms fire and indirect shrapnel. Your playstyle should involve sitting back and maintaining overwatch of a specific area of the battlefield. Stay far away from the heat of close quarters combat as enemy tanks will have a harder time finding and killing you. With the slpprj m/95 round, you can penetrate any vehicle in the game from the front at any range (excluding areas such as the Leopard 2A5's turret cheeks). The stock DM33 round is, although powerful, somewhat lacklustre compared to m/95, but holds its own against tanks at its BR. You will just have to play more passively and know how to hit weak spots at longer ranges. Use your mobility to flank on large maps such as Maginot Line and (if you have them researched) use your powerful thermal optics to acquire and destroy a target. If the enemy is looking at you and you are too close, reposition and try to make them lose focus on you. By playing more passively and smarter than you would a normal MBT, you can make the most of this vehicle.

The CV 90120 has minimal armour only meant to withstand small arms fire and indirect shrapnel. Despite this, it's rather versatile due to its mobility, reload, and the powerful slpprj m/95 round. Your playstyle can make use of the autoloader, the m/95 round, 3rd gen thermals, and LWS (laser warning system) to snipe at long ranges (along with the added benefit of the CV 90120's mobility to reposition or get to sniping spots quicker), or you can make aggressive flanks to utilize the 5-second reload and take out or disable enemies before they can even react. Try to stay away from the frontline as your armour is effectively useless no matter the range. Its incredible reverse speed and acceleration will always make it easy to dip in and out of cover, retreat when damaged, or to simply reposition yourself, and with its autoloader, you can afford to lose a crewmember (during a firefight) while retaining all combat efficiency. With the slpprj m/95 round, you can penetrate almost all vehicle in the game from the front at any range (excluding areas such as the turret cheeks on the Leopard 2A5 series and M1A2, and some areas of Russian MBTs). The stock shell is a HEAT-FS shell and the DM23 APFSDS round is a tier I modification. Although entirely usable, it is subpar compared to m/95 round, but holds its own against tanks at its BR until a better round is available. You will just have to play more passively and know how to hit weak spots at longer ranges. Use your mobility to flank on large maps such as Maginot Line and (if you have them researched) use your powerful thermal optics to acquire and destroy a target. If the enemy is looking at you and you are too close, reposition and try to make them lose focus on you. By playing more to your strengths and keeping your weaknesses in mind more than you would a normal MBT, you can make the most of this vehicle.

With an aced reload of 5 seconds, it shares the fastest top tier reload with the [[Type 90]] and the aced [[IPM1|105 mm Abrams]], beating the [[Leclerc]] and any other tank's aced crew. This means that if you get the first shot off, and either their return shot misses or you destroy their cannon, then you can do wonders with the CV90120. It packs an INSANE amount of firepower for a light tank, dishing out 625 mm of pen every five seconds, and can by itself cripple distracted players.

With a reload of 5 seconds, it shares a quick reload with the aced [[Challenger 2]] and the aced [[IPM1|105 mm Abrams]], beating the [[Leclerc]] and any other tank's aced crew. Only the [[Type 90]] and [[Type 10]] beat its reload. This means that if you get the first shot off, and either their return shot misses or you disable their cannon, you can quickly take them out before they have a chance to fire again. Once spaded, it packs an insane amount of firepower for a light tank, dishing out 600 mm of penetration downrange every five seconds, and can cripple distracted players.

The CV 90120 has the commander sight feature with a powerful zoom (24x). With the laser rangefinder and thermals, this enables players to swiftly acquire and fire at enemy players and thus enhances the CV 90120's potential in long-range engagements.

'''Background'''
+
The CV90120 is a 2010's era vehicle developed as a private venture by BAe Hagglunds as an export vehicle, coupling the Combat Vehicle 90 chassis with a 120mm cannon and assisted loading.
−
 
 
−
After the [[CV 90105 TML]] project, Hägglunds began their own private venture to develop the light tank of the future. Working from their CV 90 chassis, they began tinkering with the Swiss Ordnance 120 mm Smoothbore cannon, to achieve MBT grade firepower. The design principle behind the project was that the vehicle wouldn't require armour if it had the capability to destroy targets before being fired upon. The tank was revealed in the summer of 1998 at the EUROSATORY defence exhibition in Paris. This version was a prototype however, as it took Hägglunds 3 more years to finalize the design. The vehicle would be known as the CV 90120, and is one of the most passionate projects launched by Hägglunds.

'''Design'''
 
−
 
 
−
The CV 90120 is incredibly light for its weaponry, coming in at just below 20 tonnes excluding the weaponry. The challenge when designing the tank was transferring the recoil from a gun that size, into the chassis, without damaging the tank. The gun was specifically modified and picked for this problem. the CTG (Compact Tank Gun) 120/L50 Smoothbore managed to solve this issue thanks to the lightweight design and strong structure. The gun is semi auto-loaded from the rear of the turret, with reserve ammunition stored in the rear of the chassis, which was previously used as troop transport in the prior CV 90. Later variants, such as the CV 90120-T, the variant reflected in game, would see novel features such as generation 3 thermal imaging, along with smoke grenades, and commanders thermals provided by SAAB.

'''Future development'''
 
−
 
 
−
Hägglunds was bought by Alvis Ltd. in 1997, and later by BAE Systems in 2004. Despite this, the project has continued development. The latest version was revealed in 2011, known as the CV 90120 Ghost. This version is still being worked on, despite lacking any sort of customers. No matter the fate of the vehicle, Hägglunds seem convinced that the future of tank combat isn't survivability, but rather visibility. The CV 90120 Ghost has side-skirts capable of adapting its thermal imaging to look like something else, and the chassis is shaped to reflect radar signature. Hägglunds has made it perfectly clear what their vision on the future is, and along with the Polish PL-01 based on the same chassis, the vehicle remains a concept waiting to prove itself right.

Description

GarageImage CV 90120.jpg


The Combat Vehicle 90120 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

The CV 90120 combines the Combat Vehicle 90's chassis with a new turret with a 120 mm CTG cannon. As a result, armour is barely present and can only withstand heavy machine gun from the front. Even autocannons can penetrate its turret and 12.7 mm machine guns can cut clean through its side armour. There is also a chance you will hull break even if no critical modules are damaged, so be aware, your main goal should be to not receive any enemy fire.

Usage in battles

As discussed in the armour section, you have minimal armour meant to withstand small arms fire and indirect shrapnel. Your playstyle should involve sitting back and maintaining overwatch of a specific area of the battlefield. Stay far away from the heat of close quarters combat as enemy tanks will have a harder time finding and killing you. With the slpprj m/95 round, you can penetrate any vehicle in the game from the front at any range (excluding areas such as the Leopard 2A5's turret cheeks). The stock DM33 round is, although powerful, somewhat lacklustre compared to m/95, but holds its own against tanks at its BR. You will just have to play more passively and know how to hit weak spots at longer ranges. Use your mobility to flank on large maps such as Maginot Line and (if you have them researched) use your powerful thermal optics to acquire and destroy a target. If the enemy is looking at you and you are too close, reposition and try to make them lose focus on you. By playing more passively and smarter than you would a normal MBT, you can make the most of this vehicle.

With an aced reload of 5 seconds, it shares the fastest top tier reload with the Type 90 and the aced 105 mm Abrams, beating the Leclerc and any other tank's aced crew. This means that if you get the first shot off, and either their return shot misses or you destroy their cannon, then you can do wonders with the CV90120. It packs an INSANE amount of firepower for a light tank, dishing out 625 mm of pen every five seconds, and can by itself cripple distracted players.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Excellent gun and reload, with access to the slpprj m/95 round, which shares identical stats to the Italian CL3143
  • Adequate mobility enabling you to get to an early game position and quickly change positions if spotted or injured
  • The weak armour may reduce the amount of spalling caused by being hit by enemy shells
  • Access to scouting and "Airstrike" ability (reduced spawn cost for friendlies destroying enemy tanks you scouted)

Cons:

  • Non-existent armour, can be penetrated by heavy machine guns on the side and autocannons in the front
  • No top machine gun for anti-helicopter and aircraft defence
  • Susceptible to hull break, ANY chemical charge such as HEAT or ATGM will almost certainly destroy the hull in a single hit
  • The slpprj m/95 round is a tier IV modification and will take some time to get access to it
  • Difficult to hide due to tall profile, with the "doorknob" optic on the roof of the turret

History

The CV90120 is a 2010's era vehicle developed as a private venture by BAe Hagglunds as an export vehicle, coupling the Combat Vehicle 90 chassis with a 120mm cannon and assisted loading.
