Hardly, in order to be a tier 6 medium tank, the Turán III must get an unhistorical engine, and an unhistorical gun (which would not fit in the turret by the way), plus after that, there will be a gap at tier 5 in the Hungarian tech tree.
Unhistorical over buffing is not a good choice in this matter.

With unhistorical engine upgrade of course. Anso, where did the edit button go?

That looks like a mega nerfed Centurion 7. Could be a good tier 6 medium.

Why, the Pz. III/IV, the Pz. IV H have practically the same 75mm gun, and the gun of the Chi-Nu or the 76mm gun of the T-34 isn’t much better either.

However, yes, the Turán III won’t be the best tier 5 medium, we all know that. But IMO it could probably be good at “hill fights”, as it will have decent turret armor, plus -10° depression.

That gun as top on 5tier? It would be horrible tank to play: no mobility, no gun, i doubt this amount of armor will save you…

That’s right, there is a linear connection between the LT-35 (or Škoda Š-IIa) and the Turán tanks because the T-21 (or Škoda Š-IIc) is based on that light tank too.

That is the reason why should the in-game Hungarian tier 4 Turán I and II could be researched from the Czechoslovak (tier 4 too, I guess?) T-21 too. If the joint EU tree will be implemented of course.

Office space to let and a classy restaurant with a view on the top floor.

Maybe I am wrong but isnt the whole Turán line based directly on the pre-war czechoslovak T-21, which is obviously based on LT-34/35′s suspension?

Like Karika wrote – T-34 is fundamentally based on BT line, T-21 is based on LT-34/35 line. (?)

Both are from Škoda, that’s probably what carramba meant.

Well, their suspension and undercarriage design were quite similar. But comparing the LT-35 to the Turáns is something like comparing a BT-7 to a T-34; similar solutions here and there, but two rather different tanks.
