Pansarbandvagn 502

After the acquisition of the Pbv 501, the Nordic Union discovered that despite it's strong capabilities the IFV also suffered from a wide variety of flaws that could result in catastrophic damage to the vehicle and crew when penetrated.

 

It was therefore decided to construct an improved version of the vehicle, switching out the Pbv 501's 73m gun with a 30mm autocanon. This weapon wasn't able to effectively engage tanks like the previous one, but was better suited to defeat infantry and lightly protected AFVs. The 30mm's lack of a strong HEAT shell is made up by the anti-tank missile launcher attached to the top of the turret. Furthermore, this removel of shells for the 73mm gun dramatically lowered the risk of an ammunition cook-off.

 

The Pansarbandvagn 502 was given more armor on the bottom plate to better protect from mines and the turret is now a two-man configuration.

 

Finally, there are other small improvements such as mirrors for the drivers and smoke grenade dispensers attached to the turret.

 

(yes, this is essentially a BMP-2)
