I’ve always liked that vehicle but the Hungarian 8mm MG is too weak. Italy at least had some small caliber AP rounds even for MG’s but to function at tier 1 I think it would really need the 20mm or 37mm short cannon options.

“- The traverse speed of the turret was worse than the traverse speed of the hull of the original 35M. Ansaldo.”

Guess they never played M16 Hellcat :/

Soon, Karika, You will be able to make a full tree of hungarian tanks. :D
BTW: Good read, thank you for it.
ALSO: turretless T1? Sounds good for me (diversity point of view). At least it would be not a FT-17 clone again :)

I think if Italy gets it’s own branch and not just thrown in the generic European branch then this should be it’s tier 1, it would be unique in that it’s be the ONLY tier 1 without a turret so it would rely on speed and mobility to survive. They could buff the machine gun a bit unhistorically so it’d be the weakest tier 1 gun but make it get limited match maker so it ONLY sees tier 1 or up to tier 2. It’s size would be a big help too most tanks would have to aim down to shoot it and it’d be awesome seeing a bunch of these zipping around the battlefield :)

They could give the other guns mentioned as upgrades, but PLEASE do give Italy their own branch and this be their Tier 1 :)

Yep, the gun of the Pz. I C could fire armour piercing ammunition, while the Hungarian 8mm Gebauer had only infantry rounds as ammo.

“Wargaming would have to design this vehicle by itself.”

We all know already, that this is not a problem for WG.

BTW nice article Karika ;)

That’s not a regular machinegun, that’s a very specific weapon – an automatic anti-tank rifle
