Talk:Landsverk L-60: Difference between revisions
m Blockhaj moved page Talk:Stridsvagn L-60 to Talk:Landsverk L-60: Calling the vehicle stridsvagn L-60 is incorrect. L-60 is the manufacturers name for the vehicle and should therefore be called Landsverk L-60. |

L-60A to D seems to be fake since they dont appear in any landsverk document. After some research they seems to originate from the book Tanks of the world 1915-1945. The book probably had bad sources.--[[User:Blockhaj|Blockhaj]] ([[User talk:Blockhaj|talk]]) 19:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC) |

Design influence
I reduced what I thought was some over-claiming on the design influence of this vehicle. Obviously open to correction if I am wrong here but three claims were made:
a) Torsion bar suspension: The L60 appears to be the first *tracked* vehicle to use this suspension, but not the first *vehicle*. Nor am I aware of any evidence linking the L60 to later designs.
b) Welded construction: Hungarian AFVs did not become all-welded during WW2. The Turan and Csaba, for example, were rivetted. Postwar, I am not sure they were building AFVs at all. The USSR and Germany were both making extensive use of welding as early as the 1930s, (see for example the Panzer I, BT-7, or BA-20) so, I am again unsure what connection there can be to the L60.
c) Periscopes replacing vision slits: Tanks worldwide were being equipped with periscopes in the 1930s.
I replaced with text with the word "advanced" since these were certainly advanced features for the era, but being advanced is not the same as influential (other tanks were as advanced).

L-60A to D fake designations
L-60A to D seems to be fake since they dont appear in any landsverk document. After some research they seems to originate from the book Tanks of the world 1915-1945. The book probably had bad sources.--Blockhaj (talk) 19:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
