-The '''{{Annotation|{{Specs|name}}|Pansarvärnskanonvagn modell 43 (1946)}}''' was a tank destroyer developed during World War 2, drawing inspiration from German designs. It aimed to provide mobile anti-tank capability with protection, following the German model of using an anti-tank cannon in a casemate-structured tank hull. Its design, influenced by vehicles like the Marder III and StuG III, focused on supporting vehicles with lesser firepower and engaging heavily armoured targets at a distance. Initially planned with a shorter 7.5 cm L/28 gun, it was later equipped with a modified 7.5 cm Lvkan m/36 featuring a longer L/50 barrel for enhanced penetration. Despite being developed in 1942 and ordered for 1944, production delays meant the first deliveries didn't occur until 1946, with the last arriving in 1948. Until the introduction of the Centurion in 1953, the Pvkv m/43 (1946) remained the primary vehicle for neutralizing hostile tanks. In the 50s, plans were made for an upgrade of the Pvkv m/43 but only were put in effect in the 60s as the [[Pvkv m/43 (1963)]], extending its life until the 70s. After decommissioning, its cannons found further use in coastal artillery fortifications, defending Swedish coasts until 1995.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]], the {{PAGENAME}} is a deceivingly well-armoured open-top tank destroyer, while it still poses a vulnerability to the crew, especially from overpressure and strafing aircraft. While the expected armour thickness of around 30 mm covers all sides except the front, the frontal protection is significantly stronger at 80 mm effective, capable of resisting most moderate penetrations. Coupled with the gun sight's high zoom and the gun's -15° depression, the tank excels as a long-range sniper.

Developed during 1942 the Swedish Army ordered a total of 87 vehicles to be delivered in 1944, but due to issues with development and production it wouldn't be till 1946 that the first vehicles were gonna be delivered and the last wouldn't arrive till 1948. {{PAGENAME}} was the only vehicle at the time which could successfully knock out hostile tanks till the arrival of the Centurion in 1953. During its service some modifications in the mid 50's wouldn't be done till early to mid 1960's where it then would be used until the end of its service in the 1970's. When '''Pvkv m/43''' were being decommissioned the cannons would still be used in service but in another purpose as a coastal artillery fortifications and defend the Swedish coasts until 1995.

	In AB, an aggressive playstyle will put you at a disadvantage, it's a good idea to relocate between shots so that the enemy has problems aiming at the Pvkv. In RB, it's usually unnecessary as any enemy will have terrible zoom and will probably miss at least once before landing any kind of a hit.

 The stock shell is the '''slpprj m/41''' uncapped AP shot with decent penetration, but poor post-penetration values. Also, it tends to ricochet.
-Once you unlock the '''slpgr m/43''' APCBC shell, which is unfortunately a Tier IV modification, you have almost the best regular ammunition at the battle rating. The shell is similar to the one used by the [[Pvkv II]], though it has slightly less penetration because of the lower muzzle velocity. Though its a bit slower, it still can penetrate any heavy tank within BR range on direct hit, and at point blank range it usually can penetrate tanks relying on angled armour (but not always). Also the shell does high post penetration damage, because of the 110 g TNT filler.

 The Pvkv m/43 used the chassis of the Strv m/42, but with a casemate superstructure replacing the turret. The superstructure was located at the front of the vehicle, and the glacis was sloped. It had an open tarp to keep the weight down, and used a tarp to protect the crew from the elements. The Pvkv m/43 had a crew of 4, and was initially armed with a 75 mm luftvärnskanonen m/36 antiaircraft gun, modified with a longer barrel for increased armour penetration. The gun could traverse 15 degrees to the left and right. It had a Ksp m/39 machine gun as the secondary armament. It was powered by a Volvo A8B engine producing 360 hp. The gearbox was different than the gearbox of the Strv m/42, and the drive wheels had to be reinforced to handle the increased weight of the vehicle. The Swedish military ordered 87 Pvkv m/43 in 1942, but deliveries were delayed and the last vehicle was delivered in 1948.
-In 1954, the vehicle was given an armoured roof to better protect the crew. Other improvements included a muzzle break, a gun rest, and a gas ejector. The Strv m/41 was retired from service in 1957, which allowed the two Scania-Vabis L603 engines per vehicle to be used in the Pvkv m/43. The two L603  engines produced less horsepower (320 hp) than the Volvo A8B, but were much more reliable. In 1970, the Pvkv m/43 was retired from service, and the guns were used in static fortifications until 1995.
