The pictures really are a hot issue. I will try to contact some friends and get their photographs of different units.

If the military wont give permission then why not try the arms dealers? They have alot of comercial material that they spread around so maybe they wouldnt mind giving some of it our way, or have you tried that? We are allready using their products so why not credit them with proper pictures as well?
Saab Dynamics, Bofors Defence, Patria, Alvis Hägglunds... what else do we got?

Sounds like a good Idea,
Not beeing too pesimistic, but it was a bit harder than I thought to find pictures that are
1. Black and white, or with enough contrast when converted to B/W

2. 1:2 format 80 pix * 160 pix
Somehow the format 1:2 isn't much liked by photographers.

3. still make sense in 80 pix * 160 pix

But today picture processing software are much better than when most old LBM's where made.

This thread was started to collect changes needed in the Swedish SPMBT Obat 66.
Please post your suggestions and mofications.

I will try to change as many of these things myself but I would really like to share the burden with some other interested party.


Strf90(CV9040)
I belive that the sound is wrong for the 40mm Bofors AC. The animation shows a burst salvo but the the sound is just a single fired round.


SSG AMOS DF
...is in the Swedish Army called SSG-120. It is a twin barreled 120mm armoured mortar system, not an assaulgun as it is stated in SPMBT. The unit shold therefor be able to conduct indirect fire missions like any other mortar. A single SSG can fire 14 mortar rounds at the same target and get a simultanious impact at ranges of 10km so it should be modelled as rather effective.


The pictures
A major overhaul is also needed with the pictures concerning the Swedish units. It looks rather good up to the early 80´s then the pictures seem to stay the same. Mechinf (called Arm inf?) have a Bpv501(BMP1) in their picture for example. A quite odd selection of picture that seem to represent all Swedish soldier units until the end of time 2020

Strv121 Frontal turret steel armor is 100. Same as strv122. Should be fixed to Leo2A4 standards of 70.

[serg3d]

Strv 121 and 122 listed as available until 12/1999, though it's still possible to buy them after 1999

[Mobhack]

Trying a quick 30 second search on unit names with Mobhack gives various possibilities.

Which of the 3 different 121s are you looking at? [30,355,357] or which of the 3 different 122s [31,356,358]?.

All different units, with different non-overlapping service dates, but the same name. One does stop in 99, but the others each come into service later. Thus - one can buy these things past 1999.
