40M Nimród.

[lyric1]

This is a Hungarian built Self propelled gun built under license from a Swedish design called Luftvärnskanonvagn L-62 Anti II.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40M_Nimr%C3%B3d


The Luftvärnskanonvagn L-62 Anti II was built for Finland & they called it the Landsverk anti-II or L-62.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftv%C3%A4rnskanonvagn_L-62_Anti_II

135 Units were built it had a 40MM Bofor cannon it was designed to be a Flak gun as well as a tank destroyer & did alright in both rolls until the Russians rolled out the T-34. At that point it was only used in the AAA roll. The gun appears to be hand cranked for elevation & could swing down to minus four degrees & up to eighty five degrees. 360 degree traverse at this point in time I am not sure if it was hand cranked around or powered by a motor. Also don't know the traverse speeds on this platform yet to see if it as fast as the Ostwind or not. It also could shoot rocket grenades from its gun.

Best part about this vehicle it would be eligible for early war & could hold its own in late war.

Well hell, Lyric has done half the work for HTC, I guess they have to model it now. It would be a shame to let all that hard work go to waste.

P.S.   every heard about the Tas prototype? Not that it has any chance to be added, but was an interesting plan for sure.

I'm all for it.

Much better than those Italian mini-tanks which were used in the battle for Budapest ( ))

+1! More targets for my bombs! The gun it mounts has better ballistics than those of the Ostwind, so it'd be quite lethal.
