Continuing my fascination with new-to-me Nordic light tanks (see also the Ikv 91), today’s Christmas leftovers offering comes to us from Norway. The NM-116 Panserjager was a Norwegian upgrade of the WWII-vintage M24 Chaffee that served until 1993. Rather than reiterate the excellent Online Tank Museum article, I’ll just link it here. You’re only here for the 4e stats anyway, right?
Because the NM-116 was in real-world service until after the Cold War’s end, we can reasonably assume it would have served in the Twilight War. For those who are using a 1e or 2e alternate history, NM-116s would have been in combat as early as December 1996, when the Soviets made their unsuccessful play for a quick victory in Norway. By mid-2000, surviving examples could have been found anywhere in the Nordic countries. A few might also be floating around the Polish-German coast after being “requisitioned” by American units that fought in Norway and later redeployed across the Baltic (6th Infantry Division and 2nd Marine Division). The sticking point in keeping one operational would be obtaining an ammo supply for the up-gunned 90mm.
Number-crunching on this is pretty basic. Just for fun, I also threw in a stat line for the NM-130, the armored recovery vehicle variant (with all of four built).
If you’re looking for v2/v2.2 stats, Paul Mulcahy, of course, has the NM-116 as a tracked light combat vehicle.
Technically, the coaxial is an M3, but stats should identical to those of the M2HB for game purposes. The 90mm gun is a French low-pressure model (the D/925) also used on some obsolete-by-the-1990s French AFVs. Its ammo selection is limited to HE, HEAT, and smoke, so it’s not going to be punching that far above its weight:
Edited to add: for v2.2 stats, Paul Mulcahy, of course, has you covered.
