The '''lvkv 42''' was developed by the Swedish arms manufacturer Bofors on request from the Swedish army as a 1950s next generation Swedish SPAA following the 1940s limited production lvkv fm/43 SPAA. Two prototypes based on a new original chassis-design were built and delivered for testing late December 1953 and early January 1954 respectively after various delays. In the end the project was scrapped as SPAAs with integrated radars became more necessary.

It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]]. In similar fashion to the ZSU-57, the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an SPAA particularly deadly for enemy tanks. It has access to a powerful 40 mm cannon with a good fire rate. It also features SAPHEI shells in some of its belts, which helps against lightly armoured vehicles. Flanking is a good idea, although the speed is not the best, it's still agile enough to get to good positions to ambush other tanks. Like most SPAAs of its tier, it's very fragile, and most HE or HEAT shells would kill you in a single hit, the gun lacks access to APHE shells in all of its belts and using its only cannon against enemy aircraft may be challenging to inexperienced players.

Description

GarageImage Lvkv 42.jpg


The Luftvärnskanonvagn 42 - Swedish for "air defence cannon wagon of 1942" - is a rank IV Swedish SPAA with a battle rating of 5.0 (AB) and 4.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury".

General info

Survivability and armour

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Mobility

Game Mode Max Speed (km/h) Weight (tons) Engine power (horsepower) Power-to-weight ratio (hp/ton)
Forward Reverse Stock Upgraded Stock Upgraded
Arcade 66 8 13.5 284 382 21.04 28.3
Realistic 61 7 177 200 13.11 14.81

Armaments

Main armament

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Advise about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

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).

II Suspension Brake System FPE Adjustment of Fire slhpgr m/43
III Filters Crew Replenishment Elevation Mechanism
IV Transmission Engine Artillery Support

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good penetration - excellent Swedish 40 mm performance can make quick work of enemy light tanks as well as medium units if utilized correctly!
  • Very fast turret traverse and elevation rate (can reach 70°/s with an aced crew)
  • Stock belt alternates between AP and HE every other round, making it a very effective all-purpose belt
  • 240 RPM, only the Ostwind and AMX-13 DCA 40 is on par with the fire rate
  • Very nimble, its agility can get you safely around the battlefield

Cons:

  • Paper thin armour - very easy to be disabled or entirely knocked out by incoming HMG fire
  • Low ammo storage - quickly runs out of ammunition when engaging several threats
  • Along with the poor armour, the turret crew's heads are visible - making them easy targets for enemy machine gun fire
  • AP belt has lower penetration than the HE and stock belt, but has more post-pen damage

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.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
