I never said it would be OP…until you realize just what a Maxim-Nordenfelt gun is, and the impressive rate of fire such a gun could achieve. Basically, the DPM on that gun would be ridiculous, but for being on the slowest and worst-armored tier 1 in the game, that might be enough to make it more or less competitive.

No biggie, the Vickers Medium already boasts such a catapult at the tier. Has trouble hitting the broad side of the barn – from the *inside* – ofc…

Forgot to mention, in the same message I sent a while back, I suggested that this thing might be buffed by giving it some of the weapons that had been planned for use on the LK II, the tank it was derived from, including a 57 mm Maxim-Nordenfelt Gun (which would be quite powerful at tier 1).

Hey, I remember sending a message to FTR about this tank a few months ago! I was starting to wonder if you had forgotten about it or something, SS.

Most likely the gunner was also the commander. That was common on early light tanks.

“Crew: 4 (driver,co-driver,gunner, loader)”

No commander? :D

I’m looking forward for more articles on Swedish tanks as it’s the closest I will ever come to a Danish tank (That was not our thing). It really helps as the 20mm Madsen is a Danish weapon but it will surely be nothing special probably doing 11 or 12 dmg per shot and above 70 rpm at tier 1 like the Cunningham. I’m hoping it will be more accurate than the short German 2cm guns as it’s mounted on a slow ass tank.

Not. Helping.
