40mm Bofors L/60 AAG

Notes: The design of this weapon dates back to 1928; prototypes appeared by 1931, and it was type-standardized in 1936. Within a few years, over 20 countries adopted it, and most of them still use it to this day. The gun is well-liked due to its simplicity and reliability, as well as flexibility.

In the early 1990s, Bofors developed an upgrade kit for the L/60. This includes an increase in ROF from 120 rpm to 200 rpm, a new 20-round magazine above the guns, and the fitting of a laser rangefinder with ballistic computer.

40mm Bofors L/70 Antiaircraft Guns

Notes: There are 5 types of Bofors L/70-based antiaircraft guns of Swedish manufacture. The basic model is the Bofors L/70 Type A antiaircraft gun; this is a basic mounting using an external power source. The Type B adds a 2 kW APU for independent use. The L/70 BOFI (Bofors Optronic Fire-control Instrument) fair weather system adds to this laser rangefinder, ballistic computer, and image intensifier. The L/70 BOFI all-weather system adds a J-band pulse Doppler radar. The fifth model is the L/70 modernization package, also known as the REMO (REnovation and MOdernization); this is a Type B gun with the APU upgraded to 5 kW, batteries for use if the APU goes down, a sight system similar to that of the CV-9040 IFV, and a kit that improves the rate of fire by 40 rounds per minute. (This has no practical effect in game terms.)
