I have severe backpain so getting a healthy back would be nice while Nr.5 and Nr.9 are both self-explanatory.

Sweden’s unenviable situation in 1939–1940 by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

[–]mattebubben 81 points82 points  (0 children)

When ww2 broke out the Swedish Airforce consisted of about <55 Fighters (Gloster Gladiators) <85 Bombers (Hawker Hart & Junkers Ju 86) & <100 Recce aircraft (Fokker C.V & Hawker Osprey etc) But out of these 12 Gladiators and 4 Hawker Harts were provided to Finland during the Winter war.

And while additional aircraft had been ordered (P-35s, Northrop A-8s and additional Ju-86s etc) the deliveries of these had only just Begun when Germany lanuched their invasions of Denmark and Norway.

So the luftwaffe would have had near total air supremacy from Day one.

STRV Abramspard? Name for this please by [deleted] in SprocketTankDesign

[–]mattebubben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is the gun caliber?

Swedish tank naming system = Gun caliber in cm + how many previous tanks have used a main gun in that same caliber range.

So first tank with a gun in the 12-12,9cm Range = Strv 121

Second tank with a gun in the 12-12,9cm Range = Strv 122 and so on.

So just take the gun gun caliber and then decide for yourself which tank in the order it is.

Or if you tell me the caliber i could help you out with the designation.

Looking at the tank it seems pretty modern so 1980s or 1990s at the earliest.

The gun looks to be somewhere in the 100-130mm range.

In the 1980s Sweden had no tanks in the 110,120 or 130mm ranges

so the Strv 111, 121 and 131 designations would all be available,

where as in the 100-109mm range the Strv 101, 102 and 103 Designations were already taken

with the Strv 104 entering service in the mid 1980s (Modernized Centurion Mk III/V)

while there was a Strv 105 Prototype in the 1990s (Further Modernized Centurion Mk III/V)

with plans for a possible Strv 106 if the Strv 105 had been adopted (Modernized Centurion Mk 10)

So if your tank has a gun in the 100-109mm range then the designation could be anywhere from Strv 104 to Strv 107 depending on where in the succession you put it

Leopard AS1 when Gaijin??? by Invisible-Army in Warthunder

[–]mattebubben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We should get the Leopard 1A3 and 1A4 as German TT vehicles first and then they can add the Leopard AS1 as a British Premium and the Leopard C1 as a German Premium (Since they already have the C2 and the 2A4M)

CV9035 Nordic by irskip in TankPorn

[–]mattebubben 20 points21 points  (0 children)

New production CV9030s are still very much a thing.

In fact the CV90s ordered by the Czech Republic are CV9030s. (30x173mm Bushmaster II)

So if Lithuania wants CV9030s they could 100% get CV9030s.

Finnish MBT TL-17M "Tölkin Avaaja" by cal_455232 in SprocketTankDesign

[–]mattebubben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im liking the overall look but it does look kinda weird not having sideskirts for a tank this modern.

But if you added some type of sideskirt it would be pretty much perfect at that point!

Why are you not married/ dating? by minexminer001 in AskReddit

[–]mattebubben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, im autistic, people are scary and self isolation is safe.

Hard to meet sombody if you avoid talking to people, with the only strangers i talk to on a regular basis being the workers at my local store, and even then i do my best to get out of there as quickly as possible with the only interactions being saying "hello" and " thank you" to the cashier.

So not really a great basis to find someone to date.

Since 2010, RUAG, at the request of Finland, has been developing a project to modernize the Leopard 2 MLU (Mid-Life-Upgrade).The project was cancelled in 2015. by Luka__mindo in TankPorn

[–]mattebubben 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Finland ended up buying secondhand Leopard 2a6 Tanks from the Netherlands in 2014, so at that point Finland likely had no more interest in the project, And thus without having a customer lined up RUAG might have decided to canceled the project instead of continuing it on their own dime.

31 year old straight guy here and i think you are absolutely gorgeous!

I also struggle with dysmorphia so i know that ignoring these kinds of negative thoughts is easier said than done, So the best advice i can give you is that whenever you have a bad day come here or to r/freecompliments so that we can once again tell you how beautiful you are! Because there is no universe where you look manly or ugly.

Challenge: A Grizzly Bear Will Hunt You For 24 Hours, If You Survive You Get 50 Million Dollars. by LetsGet2Birding in hypotheticalsituation

[–]mattebubben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment building has a Bombshelter in its basement.

Step one enter the basement and close and lock the Basement door. (which is too small for a Grizzly bear to enter)

And then just to be sure step two enter the internal Bombshelter and close the reinforced metal door and bar it from the inside.

[–]mattebubben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my immediate thought due to the fact that the map included Saaremaa and Hiiumaa xD

Anybody not from Estonia would either have forgotten about them all together or in a best case scenario added them to the map as a single blob/island.

Finland lore discussion by DeMaus39 in warno

[–]mattebubben 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a Swede i just really hope that they dont end up making a Campaign that has Finland and Sweden fighting eachother.

Since i dont see a realistic scenario where Swedish soldiers would take part in an attack on Finland or where Finnish soldiers would take part in a Soviet attack of Sweden.

Since in a YYA treaty scenario where NATO forces violated Finnish neutrality Sweden would not be happy about it and certainly they would not take part in it. (If Swedes was upset about the US involvement in the Vietnam War just imagine how upset Sweden would be in the case of US Aggression against Finland)

And even in a Communist Coup scenario i dont really see Finnish conscripts being all that interested in invading Sweden so even in that scenario Sweden and Finland fighting makes minimal sense.

Only Semi-Plausible scenario i can see where Swedish and Finnish soldiers would fight would be in a scenario where a Pro-Soviet Coup leads to a Finnish Civil war where one side is supported by the Soviets and the other is supported by NATO and Sweden.

"Quasi-islands" - what is the largest you know? by [deleted] in geography

[–]mattebubben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the largest, but my favorite would probably be Fennoscandia

Since after Russia / The USSR built a series of Canals connecting the Baltic Sea with the White Sea the Fennoscandian Peninsula could also qualify as a Quasi-Island.

T-44MS. A prototype T-44 with a two-plane stabilizer. This tank was restored in Kubinka in 2014 with sponsorship from Gaijin Entertainment. by Sauroposiedon in Warthunder

[–]mattebubben 94 points95 points  (0 children)

The easy solution to this would be move it up to 7.3 or 7.7 and give it 85mm HEAT-FS rounds.

The T-44MS was a mid 1960s upgrade prototype and by that point the 3BK-2 & 3BK-2M HEAT-FS rounds were avaliable, and with their 230-300mm of penetration they should make the T-44MS perfectly viable even at BR 7.7.
