Default Re: OOB 6.0 Norway CV90

More information about NOR = Mk I, SWE, FIN = Mk II, NL = Mk III:
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product264.html

It also boldly states that the upgraded version CV9030NF1 uses the Eryx missile launcher but I couldn't find any other reference or pics to confirm that so I doubt that piece of information..

Additionally I have to take back on "being in line." CV9035 is the Mk III and the Strf 9040C just Swedish upgraded version.

http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...updated-01653/

"The CV90-35 MkIII is a new-generation CV90 IFV, with improved firepower, protection, mobility and ergonomics plus an advanced electronics architecture."

"The Mk III also has a new armor package with increased protection against top-attack weapons and mines, and is fitted with Hagglunds’ defensive aids suite (DAS) with linked laser warner and smoke grenades. The main armament is also linked with the DAS to engage potential threats with effective counterfire."

I think CV9035s should be what CV9030(+)s are now plus a bit (survivability) more.
Steel: 14/10/4/2/14/10/4
HEAT: 18/18/4/18/14/4/2
Survivability: 6

Completely another issue to tackle is the relative firepower of the weapons. 30 mm < 35 mm < 40 mm in general, am I correct?
Code:
weapon  accuracy  hekill  appen  sabotpen
30mm       28       15     12       12
35mm       16       17      7       11
40mm*      24       16      -       20
* 40mm = Bofors AC, not Bushmaster

I find the 35mm Bushmaster out of the line there with accuracy, appen and sabotpen.
