Description

The 7TP (meaning 7-Ton, Polish—weighing in at nearly 10 tons) light tank was a locally-produced, diesel-engine version of the British Vickers E.

Like the Vickers E, the first 40 completed were armed with twin wz. 30 machinegun turrets (labeled dw from dwuwiezowy or twin turret), while the final 95 had a single turret armed with the excellent Bofors 37mm wz. 37 gun (labeled jw from jednowiezowy or single turret). The 7TP was an effective tank, but there were simply not enough of them to make a difference to the eventual outcome of the invasion.

Twin MG Turrets

Like the Vickers E Type A, the 7TP dw is a dedicated machine-gun tank with two side-by-side MG turrets.

The two deck turrets of a 7TP dw have an all-round field of fire, except where the line of fire is blocked by the other turret or the superstructure.

Both turrets can fire at the same time, either at the same platoon or each at a different enemy platoon. Both turrets can fire at their full ROF 3 at the same time.
