When this tank first came out, it looks somewhat familiar and I was curious about the design and more importantly, does it exist at all even on paper or a mere fabrication by WG? How does the driver located in the front sloped hull enter and exit the tank?
Bofors are renowned for their 120mm naval auto loader guns but no Bofors 120mm caliber guns were ever made for tanks.
UDES XX-20 Arsenalen - Swedish Tank Museum YT VideoUDES XX-20 Articulated Tank prototype uses a Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 with a Bofors designed muzzle brake.
The hull and rear stepped deck of the Tornvagn was probably inspired by the Strv 2000 proposal that never passed beyond a wooden mockup. In the end instead of developing their own tank, the Swedes bought Leopard 2A4 that were designated Strv 121 (leased from Germany) and Strv 122 (production).
I couldn't find any info about the Bofors Tornvagn. It could be a real paper design or loosely based on a real design, but most likely it is another WG fake tank. Should anyone buy it? If you can afford WG pixel tanks and it suits your play style, why not?
