Would be amazing to see, I think it would work well in the tech tree, perhaps behind a future addition like the StuH 42.

Why do you think it should be BR IV? :thinking: 120mm HEAT penetration is not a great for BR IV
And armor is also not so great → 78mm effective

Nope, M4A3 Sherman with better armour, MG, turret and also 105mm gun is BR3 so Zrínyi is a BR3 vehicle at best.
