Main description

The Mk.VI MTD H3-J1 Hunter is a mass-produced tank destroyer by Polish Industries, it has a 105mm cannon and spotlight camera, one of the most advanced technologies on a tank at the time, looking similar with other tank designs, like the AMX-50 Foch.

History

The design first started, when the Polish army needed a defensive tank design that had an autoloader and a 105mm cannon that is able to snipe targets from far away, Polish Industries, and multiple moe, proposed for this competitive contract, but ultimately, Polish Industries won, and thus, being at the mockup and prototype stage, the design was produced.
Prototype tests were very impressive, the engine chosen allowed it to be very fast, even more than 60 MPH, this allowed it to reach positions very quickly and flee enemy fire when doing so.
When entered into service, fire exercises revealed the impressive performance of the 105mm cannon, penetrating even the turret armor of a dummy T-64 and other tanks.

Multiple export orders came from other countries, like Sweeden and France, a total of 135 tanks were ordered, but unfortunatly, orders slowly were canceled due to other tanks popping up at the same time, having similar performance and having different military doctrines that the tank simply did not match, and so it was deemed by the other countries that the Mk.VI MTD H3-J1 Hunter was considered not satisfactory.

The Mk.VI MTD H3-J1 Hunter was in service up until the 2000s, when it was replaced by tanks that were cheaper to maintain and did not age as much compared to the tank itself.
