On the 6th of October 1973, Israel was attacked by a coalition of Arab States. The unexpected attack had some short-term success, on the third day the Israel Defense Forces knocked the enemy out of the strategically important Golan Heights and moved towards a counteroffensive that pushed the aggressors to the Suez Canal.
  
== Description ==
+
Although the debut of modern M60A1 tanks and confident Israeli actions helped to turn the tide of the war, the short front line was a big problem for both sides in the conflict. Battles in the “Doomsday War” were conducted from a minimum distance and with the participation of a large number of soldiers.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]].
 
  
== General info ==
+
On the 17th of October during the counter-offensive, Israeli forces crossed the Suez Canal and secured themselves on its west bank. Egyptian commanders began a counterattack in the agricultural farm area which the Israelis had marked on their maps as a "Chinese farm" because of the hieroglyphs on purchased Japanese units. In the war which lasted just over two weeks, this was a battle that went down in history as the most massive tank battle since WW2.
=== Survivability and armour ===
 
<!-- ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.'' -->
 
Survivability is bad. It's most likely that you won't survive more than one hit. Additionally, if your driver gets taken out, or even worse, your engine or transmission is damaged, you can only shoot in a small area in front of the tank due to the turretless design. Your frontal armour has a maximum effective thickness of around 80 mm of rolled homogeneous armour, which won't save you at this br. On the side, you have 30 mm maximum protection, and on the rear 25 mm. Hull armour is exactly the same as the [[Strv m/42 EH]], since they both share the same hull. Also, because the vehicle is open top, you're very vulnerable to aircraft. Even 7 mm MGs can destroy you in one or two bursts.
 
  
=== Mobility ===
+
== Participating vehicles ==
The mobility of the Pansarvärnskanonvagn m/43 1946 is nearly identical to the Strv m/42 EH. Driving forward, it can easily reach 40 kp/h, even on rough terrain, so you will be one of the fastest vehicles at the cap. While shining when moving forward, the tank destroyer is painfully slow in reverse, with 5 kp/h.  <!-- ''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.'' -->

* Very good gun depression
 
* Machine gun can elevate to 90° and has a high ammo capacity of 2,000 rounds
 
* Decent mobility
 
 
 
'''Cons:'''
 
 
 
* Turretless design
 
* Low survivability
 
* Poor reverse gear
 
* Machine gun performs poorly against lightly armoured vehicles and aircraft
 
* Low versatility

During World War 2, the need for tank destroyers became evident, and Germany had great success with the [[StuG III G|StuG III]] and StuG IV. Because of the success of those platforms, Sweden decided to create a tank destroyer similar in concept to the StuG's. Landsverk created a design in 1942, based on the chassis of the [[Strv m/42 EH|Strv m/42]]. It was chosen by the Swedish military and was given the designation Pansarvärnskanonvagn m/43, or '''Pvkv m/43''' for short.
 
 
 
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 75mm 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.
