The SDP Vz. 57D Gowika is a Tier VII Polish tank destroyer that was recently introduced in the World of Tanks supertest. This vehicle is based on an anti-tank self-propelled gun (SPG) project by Jan Gowik, a cadet of the Military Technical Academy in Warsaw in 1957. The project was never realized, but it featured a modified T-34 (?) chassis with a 100 mm gun and a sloped armor plate at the front.
The SDP Vz. 57D Gowika in WoT supertest has a similar design, but with some differences. The vehicle has a four-man crew, consisting of a commander, a gunner, a driver, and a loader. The gun has a decent alpha damage with top 122mm gun and a good penetration with standard AP shells. The mobility of the SDP Vz. 57D Gowika is average for a tank destroyer. The vehicle has a top speed of 50 km/h and a power-to-weight ratio of 15.5 hp/ton.
The SDP Vz. 57D Gowika is a tank destroyer that relies on its gun performance and camouflage to deal damage from a distance
