The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Swedish tank destroyer prototype designed in the early 50s along with the [[Pvkv II]] in an attempt to reuse the old [[Strv m/41 S-II|Strv m/41]] hulls. Even though the 57 mm gun showed great potential, the project got cancelled after the Swedish armed forces bought their [[Centurion (Family)|Centurion tanks]].

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Danger Zone"]].

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was introduced in [[Update "Danger Zone"]]. It is a well-rounded Swedish tank destroyer with an excellent fire rate for an otherwise competent 57 mm gun which can prove to be a more dangerous opponent than it seems.

Like the [[Pvkv II]], the Pvkv III shares its hull with the [[Strv m/41 S-II|Strv m/41]], and as such has acceptable hull armour for its BR. However, due to the incredibly thin turret armour which is unlikely to resist the .50 cals found on many vehicles it will face, it is not recommended to fight head-on.

The Pvkv III is very fast for a tank destroyer with a top speed at 43 km/h. With the same engine as on the Strv m/41 S-II, it can climb the steepest of hills and works great on soft terrain. It shines on maps with hills, forests or snow where this tank destroyer maintains its mobility.

The suggested playstyle of the Pvkv III is flanking or sniping. It is effective at defence thanks to its quick reload and great gun depression and with its speed, it Can be a great flanker.

The opponents you may have trouble dealing with is the KV-1, KV-2, T-34, M4A3 (105), Churchill I, ARL-44 because of their thick armour. To deal with these vehicles, you simply need to shoot them in the sides (T-34, M4A3 (105), Churchill I) or in the rear of the turret ring (KV-1 , KV-2 , ARL-44).

Despite proving itself as a capable vehicle during these tests, the Swedish military soon adopted the Strv 81 into service, making further work on the project redundant and thus leading to the project's cancellation soon thereafter.

Pvkv III

Description

The Pansarvärnskanonvagn III is a rank Swedish tank destroyer with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Danger Zone".

General info

Survivability and armour

like the later Pvkv II the Pvkv III shares it's hull with the Strv m/41, and as such has acceptable hull armour for it's BR. However, due to the incredibly thin turret armour which is unable to resist the 50.cal's found on many vehicles it will face, it is not recommended to fight head-on.

The floor armour in the turret combined with the gun placement makes anything but the largest HE, APHE, and HEAT unlikely to kill the turret and hull crew in one shot, allowing the machine gunner and driver to retreat and repair. due to this a hull-down position is recommended

Main article: Pvkan m/43 (57 mm)

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Devblog

At the beginning of the Cold War, the Swedish military was looking to equip its armed forces with new armored units. However, as the state budget didn’t allow for the procurement of completely new units, the military resorted to converting existing chassis into new vehicles. As a result, a range of experimental vehicles were hastily designed and tested to act as a stopgap measure until more modern equipment could be acquired.

Among these vehicles was the Pvkv III - a Strv m/41 converted into a tank destroyer by having its old turret replaced with a new one, housing a dedicated 57 mm anti-tank cannon. Differing only from the Pvkv II - a vehicle we already covered in one of our previous articles - by the weapon choice and by the intention to act as a stopgap itself for the Pvkv II until its production could be ramped up, all vehicles underwent testing in the early 1950s. Despite proving itself as a capable vehicle during these tests, the Swedish military soon adopted the Strv 81 into service, making further work on the project redundant and thus leading to the project’s cancellation soon thereafter.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
