Noticeable new features will be
  • Strv122 (Swedish Leo 2A5), still somewhat prototypical but a nice addition to
  • CV-9040, the world's most heavily armed infantry fighting vehicle, sporting a massive 40mm autocannon.
    It comes with three ammunition types (CV-9040C) - APFSDS, capable of penetrating any MBT even at long range from all aspects but the front, HE/frag for all soft targets, and the "3P" HE ammunition with programmable fuze modes (not available in the CV-9040A/B).
  • Mounted squads can now open hatches, look and fire out of them. This will increase the overall protection of IFVs and their spotting capabilities.
  • Infantry can now occupy buildings, and fight out of them. We expect this to make urban combat much more lethal against AFVs.
  • RB57 and TOW-2B top attack missiles.
  • Infantry can now be equipped with remotely controlled unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). It can drive up to 300m from the squad that controls it, has an elevatable sensor mast with daylight and thermal camera, and is quite small.
  • Leo 2A5 driver's place now equipped with rearward driving camera.
