Jegervogn m/43

== Norway's First Designated Tank Destroyer ==
In early 1940 Norway utilized dedicated tank destroyers for the first time, so far the Army had been using the Stormvogn m/39 and other Stormvogn models as a makeshift Self Propelled AT-guns by issuing armor piercing rounds for the Stormvogns howitzers. This was for some time seen as sufficient but did ultimately prove to be less effective than hoped. The only improvised tank destroyer that was effective in any way was the Jegervogn m/39 (1940), a crude and improvised modification of the Stormvogn m/39. Simular to the German Hetzer although with only 3 crew and less armor. 
The birth of the Jegervogn would start when several U.S. M3 (Lee) Medium tanks were shipped to Norway for use in testing and training. Utilizing the lower chassis of the M3 whilst adopting a general design similar to that of Wehrmacht SPGs like the StuG III/IV and a brand new high velocity cannon. The design quickly proved it's worth as a ambush attacker, though it proved to struggle in direct confrontations with heavier Wehrmacht armored formations and was quickly relegated to strikes on unsuspecting or lighter vehicles.
