My point is that the CG systems values in general maybe should be upgraded because it today packs a whole lot more power than back in 1948.

Standard round in Sweden is the slpsgr m/75 HEAT round capable of ~400-420mm RHA.

There are better rounds available, including tandem warhead (as Plasma wrote) CS launch types capable of penetrating ~500mm RHA, and even a supercalibre frontloaded type that supposedly penetrates around 750mm.

Don't think there is a round capable of effectively engaging modern MBT frontally though.

The CG excels at "non-AT" work though, with its timefuzed airburst HEDP, breeching and flechette/shotgun rounds. This is its main role today I think.

All that's missing is a FAE round.

Hey, it really excels!

Remember that Royal Marines een managed to take out a frigate with one single CG!

Well, not obviously 'take out', they merely had the ship to retreat out of the Grytviken harbour, but that's already fine for one 84mm shoulder-held RLR!*

I admit it is not AT work though

What is this slpsgr m/75 in designer reference? If it is m/75 as in 1975, I guess this is none of the rounds SAAB advertises for...
Now, what about future FAE rounds, or flechette? or auto-guided top-attack!!

*I know there are Brits out here who are bound to comment on that anecdote, particularly if it is false

She got close enough to be hit by some "sixty-Six" rounds as well:
