The 41M Turán II was a Hungarian medium tank that was designed as an improvement over the 40M Turán I. It had a new turret, more armour, and a new 75 mm gun that was based on an old 18M 8 cm field gun, outsourced and modified by the Swedish company Bofors. Around 195 Turán IIs were built from 1942 to 1944, but due to delays in gun optics and ammunition, it only reached units in September 1943. The 41M Turán II saw action on the Eastern Front and in the defence of Hungary against the Soviet invasion. Although it was outmatched by the Soviet T-34s with their long 75 mm guns, it could still damage Soviet tanks within 500 m, which was better than its predecessor with only a 40 mm gun.
The Turán II is a Hungarian tank in the Italian tech tree that was introduced during Update "Winged Lions" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season VI, "Firepower". It has a short barrel 75 mm gun that can fire powerful HEAT shells with a short reload time, similar to the early Pz.IVs from Germany or the Ho-I from Japan. The Turán II boasts good mobility, excellent reverse speed and adequate armour protection, making it a well-rounded medium tank worthy of it being sometimes referred to as "the Hungarian MBT". It can perform well in close combat situations thanks to its mobility, high rate of fire, and side skirt armour that can act as spaced armour against HEAT and HE shells.
