could be an alternative option to the Pz. IV H → either in the TechTree and put with Pz. IV H together in a folder or as an event tank

Nothing wrong with it at all, in fact Id love to see more Hungarian and other minor powers equipment, saying that in this case, 100% should be an event vehicle only.

Please add it to the tech tree.
It should really be in the tech tree for Hungary.

43M Turán III

Suggested BR and place:
BR3 - medium tank, Hungarian subtree, Tier III.

The Turán series even with the 75mm gun upgrade still struggled against the KV heavy tanks so a new much more powerful 75mm gun was mounted inside an upgraded Turán turret.
The vehicle was tested and pressed into service, but only one or two vehicles were built, it’s not clear why not all of the Turán I and II tanks were upgraded.
It’s possible that Zrínyi I was considered a cheaper and more effective alternative.

Thank you for your post, I would welcome more Hungarian tech to the game!

Would be nice to have Battle of Budapest or other Hungarian battles. Likewise Romania.

I would love to see it in a Hungarian event squad.

75mm 15degree armor on hull and turret?
That armor immune T-50, T-28 and KV-1 struggling penning it

Gonna be P2W premium like pzIII M

KV-1 has 75mm all around
Besides the design is cramped so one hit can usually take it out.
Not to mention weakspots: driver´s port and MG port, also gun breach.

Its BR3 at best.

1. Most german BR II tanks struggle to PEN the KV-1? Are you also worried about that?

2. Turan III has more then enough weakspots. You don’t believe me?! See screenshots!

driver’s hatch has 26mm effective armor

MG port here with 24mm effective armor

MG in the turret has 6mm effective armor

gun mantle has between 6 - 25mm effective armor

lower plate with 45mm effective armor

As you can see, the Turan III has enough weakspots. So don’t worry, even T-50, T-28 and KV-1 will be able to penetrate that without any bigger problems. So now, it wouldn’t be P2W - not even close.

thanks - at least one guy who uses the armor inspector
