General information
The Pansarvärnskanonvagn III (Pvkv III) was an experimental self-propelled gun developed in the early 1950s. It was based on the chassis of the obsolete Strv m/41 tank. Converting it into the Pvkv III involved installing a new turret with a 57 mm Pvkan m/43 gun. This was intended as a temporary measure until the Lansen tank and other, more advanced vehicles appeared. However, the self-propelled gun, like its counterpart the Pvkv II, did not appeal to the Swedish military. Instead, they decided to purchase British Centurions, which had superior armament and armor.
The Pvkv III was introduced in Update 2.17 "Danger Zone". It has weak armor, but a powerful gun with a good rate of fire.
