the Pvkv fm/48 was meant to carry the 7,5cm pvkan m/43 which is a pretty standard tier 5-6 medium tank gun with around 100mm of penetartion and its armor is just 47mm at the front, te only things it has going for it is the mobility and 55kph top speed (and gun traverse i guess). In my opinion it would be best as a tier 5 premium or hull option for the Pvkv m/43 since that was historically what it was meant to be.

And the Pvkv m/43 has no buissnes in tier 6, for that tier it would need a unhistorical gun (or a unhistorical penetration buff). the stug 3 outclasses it in all respects at tier 5 except gun traverse and depression, so i dont think it would be owerpowered.

Also regarding the Motorlavett m/42. Several TDs at tier 6 carry high power 105mm guns including the S35 CA and the Dicker Max. There is really no reason that it would be owerpowered with its severe lack of mobility of around 14hp/t. And while the vehicle could possibly be balanced at tier 7 there are better candidates for that tier.

Pvkv fm/48 with advanced 75mm gun (Konisch levels), upped engine, and a tier 5 medium tank chassis with KV-1/equivalent armor as “tier 4-5 premium”?

Seems like 99% of player treemakers are great at coming up with the information and the history but super-overestimate it when placing it in WoT. Motorlavett m/42 is again a medium tank chassis but this time with a high-power 105 that outguns the Tiger II. I would have the Pvkv m/43 as tier 6 and Motorlavett m/42 as tier 7. Pvkv fm/48 I would not include, but if I had to, tier 6 premium.

Sweet. Looking forward to that. But seeing as how long it’s taken to get to the point we are right now with these Swedish tank articles, i’m guessing those three will be around part 12 or 13 or so? Lol :-P
