Aha, ale to přece nevylučuje použití toho děla i u TD, s normálním zaměřovačem… Případně u tanku – třeba jako alternativní výzbroj kolohousenky :)
Ahhh, už asi žvaním z hladu – ale když už tam to dělo bude :D

Silentstalker: napadla mě jedna věc, určitě by šel jako ¨základní kanón použít kombinované dělo BA1/AB1 r.70/37 mm. Je trochu starší a pro začátek by to nabízelo použití buď protitankový kanón ¨nebo houfnici (s výměnou v garáži) a po zavedení víc děl na jednom tanku by je šlo použít zároveň (s přepínáním mezi AP a HE).

Stejnou zbraní měl být vyzbrojený i tank KSÚ (Kombinovaný střední útočný vůz) – projekt z roku 1931:

“Paternal autocrat” is a term I’ve seen used to describe that brand of would-be enlightened dictator with conservative leanings. Seems to have been relatively common breed at the time as most of the Central European specimen as well as Salazar and Franco apparently tend to get counted into the category.

And yeah, the Old Skool aristocratic sorts tended not be overly fond of rabble-rousing populists like the diverse Fascist-type movements. They typically seem to have considered the lot only marginally more palatable than outright revolutionary Communists,

Yes, I can confirm that. Hungary was not a Fascist-ruled country until the Germans put the Fascist leader Szálasi into power (it happened right after Horthy tried to quit the war and make a separate peace with the Allies).

Horthy was an old-fashioned Protestant aristocrat and he was disgusted by the Fascist, whom he considered a bunch of uneducated mob (along with the Communists), and he imprisoned many prominent members of both the Hungarian Fascist and Communist movements (including Szálasi himself). The country under Horthy was a somehow limited democracy with parties from the political left (social democrats) and right (Christian democrats), with continouos attempts to ban the Fascist and Communist parties of Hungary.

Yugomaniac has a proposal about the combining the Yugoslavian and Czech tech tree:
http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/312286-european-tree-national-branches-work-in-progress/
I think that’s a good idea. Anyway nice post, i’m waiting the Czech and Yugo tree (and all of the EU tree)

OFF:
Anyway, i know that the Czechs(and Slovaks) have bad memories about Hungary, but Hungary wasn’t fascist (at the time). A quote from the English Wikipedia:
“But in spite of their cooperation with the Nazi regime, Horthy and his government would be better described as “conservative authoritarian” than “fascist”. Certainly Horthy was as hostile to the home-grown fascist and ultra-nationalist movements which emerged in Hungary between the wars (particularly the Arrow Cross Party) as he was to Communism. The Arrow Cross leader, Ferenc Szálasi, was repeatedly imprisoned at Horthy’s command.”

I write just because you talked in plural.
