PS It would be nice if you gave us the ability to edit posts back SS.

Well, knowing WG’s approach to filling gaps in a tech tree (point and case, T25/2, T28 Prototype etc.), they could just make up an enlarged “Zrinyi III” assault gun of sorts and give it the 75 mm L/70 and 88mm L/56 options seen on the Jagdpanzer IV.

To make up for the unsloped armor, a couple of options are available: one of them would be to just give it an arbitrarily-high camo value, while another would be to give it a better gun than the ones available on the Jagdpanzer IV and the like, perhaps the 88 mm L/71 like on the Nashorn, with the drawback being terrible elevation and depression angles.

Interesting read, thanks.

Conclusions on where to put it, Tier wise, are indeed hard to make. And it’s questionable whether it will be really ‘tolerable’… As a mildly worse armored and better camoed StuG 3 “analogue”, with the 7,5/L70 top gun, it could work as good as the StuG. As a mildly worse armored and worse angled, but better camoed JP4 “analogue” with the same gun it will be a pain to play I think. Especially with the ongoing threat of a TD camo nerv, that puts (relatively) quick firing low Alpha TDs at a disadvantage, vs higher alpha guns (which start apearing a lot more on T6 with (soviet/chinese) 85mm Meds and many 90mm+ TDs).

That is a really neat looking tank destroyer. It looks like a refined Italian Semovente.

Zrínyi I has 100mm (http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-Vehicles/Axis/4-Others/02-Hungary/01-Tanks/04-SPG/Data/Zrinyi1.htm )
Zrínyi II has 75mm (http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-Vehicles/Axis/4-Others/02-Hungary/01-Tanks/04-SPG/Data/Zrinyi2.htm )
(and other hungarian sites said this)
but maybe just i’m wrong. :)

Anyway nice write Karika :)
If you read this, can you write about the Toldi Marder variant (Toldi páncélvadász)? :)

Thanks for the research and write up. Would be nice to see something so unique and Hungarian in the game.
