Is the 40mm CT gun really worth the effort?
>complex
>expensive
>slow fire rate
>less stopping power than the 40mm bofors
I understand Strf 9040 has a limited ammo capacity due to its clipazine loading mechanism but Russians have successfully worked around that limitation of their 57mm gun (exact same principle as the 40mm) by putting all the crew at the front and adding a continuous carousel loader on the Derivatsiya PVO.
In fact Bofors itself has done that for the Bofors Tridon Mk.II so why not apply it to a CV90 considering there's already a model with a crewless turret?
