Re: Polish Projects and Prototypes - 1939
Greetings all,
Update.
The last two fully tracked SPG's for this mod are ready:
105 mm wz 28:
..and 155 mm wz 19:
The 4x4 trucks are coming soon.
While it was not planned (or at least I don't know of it), one of these could be used as a gun truck.
Historical precedence:
Now the 75 mm Schneider was obsolete for AA use, and these gun trucks were used in all roles, including firing on ground targets, including firing on tanks.
As such the one on the new chassis would be categorized as artillery.
The field artillery version of the 14TP would only really show up in like 1941-ish, so this unit is a bit necessary.
Then the PZInz 202 and 222 half tracks, and these would have a few variants including a 20 mm armed fire support vehicle, an APC version, an AA version and some others (I'm sure I put those in some early post).

Re: Polish Projects and Prototypes - 1939
Wow, didn't notice that this topic has 2500+ views.
Anyways, this truck will easily carry this gun:
Say hello to the 75 mm Schneider truck.
And this gun too:
Say hello to the 40 mm Bofors truck.
As I wrote before, the 75 will be an artillery truck, and the 40 mm would be the replacement of the WW I era anti air 75 mm Schneider trucks.
From what I can find, these were not planned, but the weapons, chassis and their predecessor all existed.
If I do find that some other trucks were meant to be used as gun trucks (as in - I run into real designs) then I will make a correction, but for now this is the best I know of.
Icons soon - of these and the normal versions too - the 342 and the 343.
They did look a bit different, the 343 had a longer cab and slightly smaller wheels than the 342 (note the 342 has 10 mounting bolts per wheel rather than 8). These differences can be presented in the resolution of the game icons, so I'll go for it.
343:
The 343 will also be a people transporter too. Note the detail with the side doors and steps to easily climb into the back.
342:
This one is strictly cargo, except when it's a gun truck.
