🇵🇱 Bóbr (Tier VIII Tank Destroyer, Premium)
Historical Reference:
Before the outbreak of World War II, Polish tank engineers were actively working on the design of new tanks and self-propelled guns. After Germany occupied Poland, most of these projects were abandoned. However, some Polish engineers managed to leave the country and continued their work in exile.
One of the concept designs developed in 1944–45 was a light tank destroyer unofficially known as Bóbr. The vehicle’s main distinguishing features included a low-profile hull assembled from cast components, an original suspension system with independent spring suspension, and a 90 mm gun without recoil devices. Thanks to the powerful Ford GAA engine and relatively low weight, the Bóbr tank destroyer offered excellent mobility. To reduce hull length, the engine was mounted transversely. Overall, the Bóbr design proved to be both innovative and successful, but by the end of the war the project was no longer needed.
Planned features: Compact size, high camouflage values, an accurate gun with comfortable penetration and high DPM.
