According to Wotclue, if everything goes well, at the end of this month we can expect the first public test of update 1.9.
The update will most likely contain stuff that has been going to the Supertest for the last month and a half, including the new Berlin map.
Check our historical article on this vehicle here: https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2015/03/07/luftvarnskanonvagn-l-62-anti-ii-finnish-aa-spg/
The L-62 ANTI II is a Swedish SPAA design, developed in the early 1930’s by the AB Landsverk company based on their L-60 light tank. Despite being built in only small numbers and used primarily by foreign nations, the L-62 ANTI II will be one of many interesting units awaiting tankers in the Swedish ground forces tree, coming to War Thunder as part of update 1.97!
Briefly: An early 1940’s Swedish SPAA design, developed on the basis of the Landsverk L-60 light tank, featuring a single 40mm Bofors cannon mounted in an open-top turret.

Work on Soviet SPGs assigned at the plenum of the Artillery Committee held on April 14-15th reached their logical conclusion by the end of 1942. The light SPG concept turned into the SU-12, designed by factory #38’s design bureau and S.A. Ginzburg (the future SU-76). The most promising medium SPG was the U-35, designed at UZTM. By the end of December, the first vehicles of the pilot batch were complete.
The heavy SPG was in a more difficult situation. The project that started as the «212» bunker buster radically changed several times. The ZIK-20 SPG was to go into production, but the process dragged on. Even a model of the casemate was not completed on time, to say nothing of the SPG itself. In the end, another vehicle was developed, the KV-14.
After the story with the KV-7, the Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory (ChKZ) did not involve themselves in SPG development. The factory had enough to do with putting the T-34 and KV-1S into production. Nevertheless, regardless of who designed the prospective SPG, it was going to be produced at ChKZ.
