PZInż 14TP was a prototype of polish fast light tank designed by PZInż before World War II. It would have been the succesor to the 10TP tank and shared a number of mechanical parts. On the 14TP the running gear was simplified which made it lighter and smaller but not able to drive without the tracks like the original Christie tank and the BT tank and its derivatives. With the weight of the running gear decreased it allowed armour thickness and fuel tank capacity to be increased. Armour would range from 50 mm to 35 mm just, about doubled from the 10TP. A problem in the development of the tank was the lack of a more powerful engine for the 14TP so the vehicle would have a power to weight ratio of 21.40 horsepower per tonne since the one used on the previous 10TP was deemed underpowered. A engine deemed suitable was German in origin and getting it on the cusp of the outbreak of war seemed impossible. The 14TP featured in the mod would have been final version. Initially the 14TP would have had the same 37 mm gun as the 7TP and 10TP which would be replaced with an more powerful 47 mm.
Present on Fall Weiß, Eastern Blitz and even the Warsaw Uprising in the game. At the time of the invasion of Poland it is a powerful tank compared to the opposition.
