Vehicle Description
The SZDV Vz. 50 is a Tier VIII Czechoslovakian tank destroyer. Its main feature is a double aiming system, reminiscent of the Japanese Type 71 line. A low cooling time allows for fast and accurate fire from long range, while the vehicle's high DPM and combination of decent mobility and armor enable active gameplay when necessary.
Historical Reference
After World War II, the Czechoslovakians decided to develop their own heavy SPG. The main task was to combine the component solutions and motor-transmission unit of Soviet self-propelled guns with a German chassis, which would ensure smoother movement and better load distribution. A secondary issue was increasing the rate of fire, and reducing the temperature conditions of firing was seen as the solution. The designers developed a liquid cooling system for the gun; however, this turned out to be very cumbersome and included a huge supply tank and pump unit that required the power supply to be changed and a more powerful generator to be installed. Because of these problems, as well as the difficulty of fitting Soviet transmission to a German chassis, the project was terminated.
