The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a prototype wheeled assault gun based on the Patria AMV (Armored Modular Vehicle) with a Cockerill CV-CT 105HP gun system. The design of CV-CT 105HP makes it available for different NATO APCs including the Finnish Patria AMV 8x8 chassis; the system have undergone extensive tests in mid-2000s. While the turret system has been cooperated with Korean's K21-105 fire support vehicle (or "medium tank", according to Doosan Aerospace), the version with Patria AMV chassis has yet to secure orders from oversea customers.

Patria CT-CV 105HP was introduced during [[Update "La Royale"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/8384-event-summer-extreme-en|2023 Summer Extreme]] event. The light tank (or wheeled assault gun) is a international project to give more flexibility for overseas customer who seek for European (NATO) countries weaponry in terms of the chassis that housed the Belgian CT-CV 105HP turret. Not only it has rather high speed on different ground surfaces, the autoloading 105 mm gun with varieties of ammunition including Ukrainian 105 mm cannon-launched ATGM will make sure CT-CV would have the flexibility to deal with any targets it might face; while players would still have to be careful not to over-extend - the vehicle is not designed for the most heated battlefield with abundance of MBTs.

To give a quick conclusion to the vehicle, Patria CT-CV 105HP comprised of a Finnish's Patria AMV chassis and Belgium's John Cockerill CV-CT 105HP gun system. One thing players will soon notice is the rather high overall profile (the chassis is 2.3 m while the turret is around 1.5 m due to the turret ring adapter), which makes it quite a noticeable target even from afar; the turret shared some similarities with the XC-8 turret found on CV90105 XC-8 as they are both produced by Cockerill and housed the very same 105 mm gun. A common stereotype for wheeled APC is the less-protected chassis for the need of weight reduction; this is not the case for Patria AMV as the frontal protection is rated for STANAG 4569 Level 4a/b protection (14.5x114 mm at 200 m), making any autocannons/HMGs below 20 mm without APDS struggle to penetrate its UFP with applique armor. This will make CT-CV more confident against lower tier IFVs with such autocannons; while it can even stop 30 mm AP-T shells at such distance, but it is suggested to avoid higher caliber APDS/APFSDS at all cost as can easily tear down CT-CV even at distance. The turret is another story: due to the heightened turret ring to fit the CT-CV 105HP, in some cases, enemy autocannons will land on the turret ring and causing fatal damages to the turret components or crews; the turret itself is not well-protected against 20 mm autocannons as well.

The crew placement is very similar to M1128 MGS with the driver placed far away from the turret crews, if the vehicle was hit from the sides but landed between the crews, chances are they would be very unhappy about a busted engine/transmission but the gun crews can still retaliate. But a note to players is that unlike M1128, the CT-CV turret is manned, located inside the turret basket at turret ring height; HEAT or HE will certainly disintegrate the turret alongside with its crews, knocking-down the vehicle right away.

Thanks to the DI 12 Scania Diesel engine that can output up to 600 hp and the ZF 7HP902 transmission, it can push CT-CV at up to 100 km/h on-road; it might not have the fastest reverse speed for assault guns (but still faster than M1128) at 17 km/h, but it is still sufficient to move away from enemies.

The CT-CV turret mounts a Cockerill 105 mm L/50 cannon. For players who already own the [[CV 90105]], they will be very familiar with the overall performance of the ammunition available, while the new turret featuring electric gun laying motor also makes the traverse rate significantly faster than any other assault guns in-game even at stock. The vertical limits are sufficient at up to 10° depression, making peeking tactics very viable for the vehicle to minimize the overall profile using terrain or cover.

The Patria CT-CV 105HP comprises of a Finnish Patria AMV chassis and Belgian Cockerill CT-CV 105HP gun system. One thing players will soon notice is the rather high overall profile (the chassis is 2.3 m while the turret is around 1.5 m due to the turret ring adapter), which makes it quite a noticeable target even from afar. The turret shares some similarities with the XC-8 turret found on the CV 90105 as they are both produced by Cockerill and house the same 105 mm gun. A common stereotype for wheeled APCs is the less-protected chassis for the need of weight reduction; however, this is not the case for the Patria AMV as the frontal protection is rated for STANAG 4569 Level 4a/b protection (14.5x114 mm at 200 m), making any autocannons/HMGs below 20 mm without APDS struggle to penetrate its UFP with applique armour.

However, unlike M1128, the CT-CV turret is manned, located inside the turret basket at turret ring height.

The CT-CV turret mounts a Cockerill 105 mm L/50 cannon. For players who already own the CV 90105, they will be very familiar with the overall performance of the ammunition available, while the new turret featuring electric gun laying motor also makes the traverse rate significantly faster than any other assault guns in-game even at stock. The vertical limits are sufficient at up to 10° depression, making peeking tactics very viable for the vehicle to minimize the overall profile using terrain or cover.

M1061 HEAT-FS, stock: The stock ammunition for the CT-CV; like most 105 mm HEAT-FS in NATO/PLAGF service, it might not have a problem damaging light vehicles or SPAAs at its tier, but in the case of well-armoured MBTs which are sometimes equipped with ERA packages, it will struggle to penetrate them from the front; even shots on the sides can be frustrating due to the lack of spalling of HEAT shells.

M393A2 HESH, tier I: One of the tier I ammunitions for the CT-CV; thanks to the features of HESH, unless the shell lands on a very flat angle, it will most likely "stick" onto enemy's surfaces and blasting shrapnel inside the crew compartments of vehicles. It will be a great alternative to HEAT-FS to hit players behind cover but has some parts exposed to your line of fire, as well as more reliable against light vehicles or SPAAs.

DM23 APFSDS, tier I: This is one of the tier I ammunitions for the CT-CV and the first kinetic shell for the vehicle; the equivalent of M111 APFSDS. While the penetration is nowhere enough to penetrate most MBTs at its tier, having kinetic shells makes long-range shots much easier and helps to grind through the early days of research.

DM33 APFSDS, tier III: This is the other kinetic shell for the vehicle; although it has the lowest penetration among late 105 mm APFSDS at only 408 mm point-blank, it is after all still a long-rod APFSDS with higher penetration and spalling than previous ammunitions. This will be the go-to ammunition once players research DM33.

Falaric 105, tier II: Oddly enough, instead of being manufactured in NATO/US-allied countries, the Falarick 105 is in fact a Ukrainian cannon-launched tandem-warhead ATGM designed specifically for the Cockerill 105 mm L/50 cannon. Although it has much lower penetration that its Chinese counterpart at only 550 mm, the explosive content and velocity can certainly give enemy MBTs or light vehicles a bad day, sometimes even helicopters will fall victim if the missile if they get too close or hover for too long.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
