Škoda 6MT6 PÚV vz.34

History

In 1934, Škoda decided to build a series of prototypes for the Czechoslovak Army, designed as small artillery tractors. Alongside the Škoda 6MT6P, which was the all-wheel-drive variant, Škoda also produced the Škoda 6MT6, the less capable version.
The 6MT6 series was intended for use by artillery regiments to transport ammunition, guns, and other equipment.However, it could also be fitted with a pintle mount for the 3,7 cm KPÚV vz.34 that was mounted in the centre of the truck bed.
The state of this specific vehicle is unknown, probably having it’s gun removed and being left in car park at Škoda Pilsen, until being dissasambled.

        • This ammonution (besidse HE) is present in the game

Mobility

  • Engine: 6-cylinder 3.6 liter 42,9 hp engine.
    • The top speed with rough estimate would sit at around 44-51 kph.
  • Tranmission: 4-speed gearbox with reduction.

Armour

  • This vehicle does not recieve any armor besides the gunshield above the 3,7 cm KPÚV vz.34
    • Gunshield is around 8mm thick
In-game

This vehicle would sit at battle rating of 1.0 due to it being completely unarmored, somewhat low speed, bad traction and low penetration for the gun and it’s avaliable munition, due to it not recieving German APCR rounds like we have in-game. Škoda 6MT6 could be added to eventual release of Czechoslovak independent tech tree or any other addition of Czechoslovakia to the game, though that’d be unfortunate due to the uniqueness of most Czechoslovak vehicles.
