  1. Slaps two ADATS tubes on CV90 lower.

  2. 1)caliber. Mortars stopped at 160mm as being the heaviest among the useful range of calibers. It's harder to load, haul around and has less ammo capacity on same platforms, BUT those don't matter as much when you force those heavy mortars on self propelled chassis with assisted loading anyway. I guess here they stopped at lower caliber for the sake of inherent logistics of using more widespread caliber with existing supplies? 2)main advantage of mortar is how cheap and easy to use it it compared to normal gun. It's expendable and needs barely trained crew to iperate at minimum useful capacity. Here you put it on expensive IFV based hull and turn it into a vehicle with requirements for highly trained crews. Is it really better then simpler 120mm mortar with two loaders and pneumatic ammo crane inside an old APC like M113 or MT-LB? And is firing more accurate counts as more effective if you talk about expensive laser and GPS guided ammo for that, which would be better used for actual howitzers? I feel like the lack of orders is due to this system trying to "unmake" what makes mortars and invent self propelled howitzers the second time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
