Hello everyone,
Wargaming representatives recently visited the Arsenalen museum in Sweden to start cooperation with the museum and to measure and take pictures of some of the vehicles there. Here’s what one of the WG guys there photographed. As far as I know, WG representatives were pleased with the how pleasant, forthcoming and understanding the Swedish museum staff was, including the director of the museum – well, that’s Sweden for you I guess!
And yes, if you are wondering, they are working on putting together a Swedish branch. As far as I know, it’s a backup branch just in case the Czechoslovaks don’t work out, it might appear in 2016 though.
Much to my surprise, I could name only like half of these without googling – how many can you recognize? Some are easy, but some…
SS be nice if you tagged each image for the less knowledgeable of us :)
Yes please!
I was actually already looking for the tooltips :)
Indeed, maybe give us a hint about what tier they would be too? :) Please?
I can name a grand total of ONE of them and be 100% sure. One.
gg me
I can name the Hetzer and the Sherman
It would be nice to tag the pictures SS
But I can’t even tell m4a3 from m4a2.
And panzer1
Oh come on u guys… Pz. I, strv m42, strv m45, lt vz 38 or the hell its called that pz 38t export version, and ofc, the holy mother off all sky pigs, BKan 1!
there is no such thing as a Strv m/45 and thats not a Bkan 1
I recognized a carden loyd(the base of loyd gc)
and a hetzer, 38(t) , pz I and a firefly.
and yes. it would also be really nice for me too, to see the picture named
Marder 2 anyone! Thats totally a Marder 2. The 7th image. The pz2 engine deck, with a 75mm gun in the casemate on the front. You can tell by the snape of it its a Marder 2. Come on guys! One of the most famous tanks in wot!
Anybody see it……..? Oh well, sigh.
Yep- it’s visible in the background of the hetzer picture anyway
Ima be that guy; It’s a jgpz38t or a G-13, not a hetzer
That’s not a Sherman; its a Firefly. :)
I recognized the Hetzer, Pz. 1, and the Firefly.
There’s some pretty cool armor in that museum…I spotted a few of what looked like Panzer I variants, a Hetzer, a couple of Marder variants, a T-34 of some sort, a Universal Carrier, and a bunch of others.
There are good looking and interesting ones for sure!
“They look like models”
The second photo is a British Mk 23 Ferret Armored Scout Car.
Google doesnt hurt:

;)
In picture 17, I would think that has to be an ultimate Dalek (I’m sorry couln’t get it out from my mind). EX-TER-MIN-ATE!
i can name everything except the trucks
WG’s interest for Swedish tanks makes me feel fuzzy inside.
I think they missed one interesting shot: Facing that Sherman firefly is a full scale Tiger 1 replica, which isn’t that interesting in it’s own, but the fact that the Sherman is pretty much the same size as the Tiger is.
If only they had taken that picture…
THAT high tier arty!
Akv 151, will probably become the Swedish tier 9 arty. Could fire 14 shells under 45 seconds from its 15,5 cm canon.
*Compares that to BC 155 58*
And you call that t9?
Tier 10 would be Bkan 1A, Akv 151 is the prototype version of it. It could fire tactical nukes, but I doubt we will see that in game.
Lol!!! Imagin 10 000 dmg 100m splash shells!
SerB, pls, April Fools 2015, make it happen. Even if its only for 1 day. I want to see the tears of the rest of the players in the match, as i not only 1 shot half the other team, but half my team too. Pls SerB, think of the chaos you could make.
P.s. ive not played a clicker for at least 3 months, so no, im not a scumbag, i just think this would be incerdibly funny for a day or two.
Wow !
What the hell is wrong with the mannequin infront of the Hetzer ?
It looks like a lost Romanian grandma that has just seen a ghost.
He has seen some thing man, dont be like that respect mannequins ffs :)
He clearly spotted a nice chick- look his porky face! he gonna hit on her right now….
When was the last time Sweden was involved in a land war? Excluding recent anti-terrorist operations… wasn’t it like….1814?
Well Sweden has troops in afghanistan and figthing Talibans. Then we had troops in Kongo during the 60s and fought other retards that tried to kill civilians. But I guess the last offical war was against Norway during 1814 yes.
Stridsvagn 74 and IKV 91… So sexy
My granfather was a Strv 74 commander.
He has also helped Arsenal with texts about the nearby regiment’s history, Södermanlands Regemente.
Going to a Swedish tank museum without taking a picture of STRV 103. :/
1, Pbil m/39-40
2, Ferret Mk II
4, Strv m/39
6, Strv m/42
7, Marder II
8, Sav m/43
9, Strv fm/28
10, Hetzer
11, Sav m/43
12, Pbv 301
13, Strv 74
14, Sherman MK I
16, Pbil fm/29
19, Strv fm/31
20, Lkv 91

allmost correct but number 14 is a sherman firefly and number 22 is the Akv 151 (the hull is completely different to the Bkan 1) also it should be Strv fm/21
OMG, you are so right!
I feel like a noob :(
