The 41.M Turan II was a further developed variant of a Hungarian medium tank, constructed on the basis of a Czechoslovakian prototype design during the early 1940s. Defined by well-rounded combat characteristics, the Turán II will become available as one of the main prizes awaiting players in the upcoming War Thunder battle pass!
Briefly: An early 1940s medium tank fitted with a large calibre 75mm cannon which further expands the lineup of Hungarian tanks in War Thunder!
41.M Turán II, medium tank, Italy, premium, Rank II
Features
- Good mobility
- Adequate armor protection
At the beginning of the 1940s, the Hungarian military decided to develop its own medium tank on the basis of the recently developed Czechoslovakian T-21 medium tank prototype. After one test unit successfully passed initial trials in Hungary, several changes were made to the design, including the fitting of a Hungarian 40 mm cannon as well as increased armor protection. The resulting T-22 design would then be officially accepted into Hungarian service as the 40.M Turán in November 1940.
An initial order of 230 Turán Is was issued in September 1940, but production ended up being delayed by several months due to incomplete technical documentation. Production started only in March 1941 after Škoda supplied the complete technical documents, with the first 40.M Turán I rolling off the assembly line in July 1941. However, before even the first vehicle was constructed, the Hungarian General Staff realized the need for upgrading the vehicle and thus formulated the specification to upgun the Turán with a 75mm gun. However, as no such gun could be developed by Hungary at the time, a WW1 field gun was selected to be modified for tank use.
This undertaking was successful, though it required the Turán’s turret to be enlarged slightly. The first prototype of this modification, which became known as the 41.M Turán II, was built in January 1942 and entered service in May. In total, around 195 Turán IIs were constructed until 1944. Today, only a single example of the Turán II survives and is on display in the Kubinka Tank Museum in the vicinity of Moscow.
In War Thunder, the Turán II will further expand the lineup of exotic Hungarian vehicles in the game and will soon arrive as one of the main prizes awaiting tankers in the upcoming Battle Pass season!
Unlike the Toldi, which tankers could earn in a previous battle pass season, the Turán II is a somewhat larger and more capable combat vehicle. To begin with, the Turán II boasts a much larger calibre primary armament, namely a 75 mm 41.M L/25 cannon. Despite its increased calibre, the ballistic properties of this modified WWI-era cannon are rather mediocre, however, for long-range engagements, where the Turán II might usually struggle to defeat enemy armor, tankers will have HEAT rounds available, capable of penetrating the armor of all but the most heavily armored opponents on the battlefield.
Furthermore, the Turán II features relatively good armor protection, comparable to that of the German Panzer IV series or the Japanese Chi-He, with up to 50mm of armor at the front portions and 25mm plating shielding the vehicle’s sides and rear. In addition to this, the Turán II also comes equipped with 8 mm thick Schürzen-style add-on armor, applied to the vehicle’s sides and around the turret. Though it only marginally improves ballistic protection overall, tankers will especially benefit from this extra protection if they come under fire from chemical rounds.
Fun Fact: The Turán is named after a central Asian region which represents the ancestral home of the Hungarians.
Thanks to its 260 horsepower engine, the Turán II can reach a respectable top speed of 45 km/h under ideal conditions, although its overall mobility, particularly in less hospitable terrain might leave some tankers wishing for more due to a relatively mediocre power-to-weight ratio. Nonetheless, the Turán II will have no trouble keeping up with the main advance of allied units and thanks to its punchy gun, can even contribute in creating a breakthrough in the enemy lines!
Seize the opportunity and add the wonderfully exotic Turán II to your in-game collection by taking part in the next season of War Thunder Battle Pass. More information about other prizes and conditions of the upcoming Battle Pass season will follow soon, so stay tuned to the news. Until then, good hunting tankers!

So the whole community begs for a Hungarian tank line in the Italian TT since ages (which could have prevented the flow of US copy pasted vehicles btw), but no, of course, they're dispersing them as event/batttle pass vehicles. Well, I'm still happy to see it ingame still.
hungary deserve more than some filler for italy, make a fully hungarian TT, if israel got an incomplete TT then why a nation what played a major role in ww2 not get its own TT?
"whole community"
Please, make this free to unlock for everyone, a unique and interesting model should not be available just for those who pay for the premium BP. (Furthermore it is not respectful imo towards the hungarian community too, why do they have always to pay real money in order to play their country's veichles?)
+1 from me! If this absolutely HAS to be a BP vehicle, at least make it the freebie one!
TheScorpion, The freebie one is ALWAYS the level 51 prize which is consequently means that it's going to be a plane. Turan II will be the level 14 prize, MTB-422 will be the level 38 prize, whatever plane they choose will be the level 51 prize meaning the free one, and the M64 will be the level 75 prize.
no, please no, why gaijin cant make a hungarian TT to add hungarian vehicles? israel got its incomplete TT while being more copy-paste than chine, why hungary get the "only filler nation" treatement?
in no way israel is more copypaste than china, and even if it was, they used a lot more vehicles than hungary, by a big margin
Because Hungary has no vehicles for the post-WW2 era that are not copypastes, I don't support israeli TT, but neither do I support a lone minor axis nation having a whole tech tree for itself.
I'm glad this is coming to the game, but this and the toldi would better fit a Hungarian subtree. There are plenty of minor axis vehicles that would be good battlepass vehicles but this isn't one of them.
toldi is akready in game in italy
Red4113, I know. It should have been in a Hungarian subtree.
so "china" has his own tt and all of the minor europeans countries are premium or event vehicles? nice joke.
China has complete post-war TT，that's the reason
ibaraki_Kasen, And Hungary has complete WW2 TT. Or does it always have to go to 10.0 due to made up rules because people don't like change?
While I like the vehicle being added. But I definitely disagree that it should be a gifted limited time vehicle and put into the Italian Premium TT like how Gaijin dumps all their "minor axis nation" vehicles, like it's some sort of dumping bin country. Hungary is basically the inverse of Israel, in that they have lots of indigenous tanks but well after WW2 in high BRs, hungary has lots of indigenous tanks up to the end of WW2. Add it as it's own minor nation. There's no reason not to anymore.
Come on man, another hungarian BP premium? These mass produced tanks led the hungarian charge into russia, and you make them BP PREMIUMS?! They should be in an italian subtree, that's where they belong. At this rate, italy is going to be the first nation to have an all premium subtree
They weren't mass produced at all. These tanks were the upgraded variant of 40.M Turán and only 139 of them were ever build. And tbf its a Czech tank used by Hungary so don't get too patriotic. Also they were shit, because this variant was fielded in 1942 and they proved useless by that time (fighting mainly against t-34s).
Senajo, Ha nem tetszik ne vedd meg. Nem cseh tank csak annak a bázis modeljén tervezték át több mint 200 ponton lett megváltoztatva az alap tank. Tehát egy teljesen új harcjárműnek számít. Ha a kínaiak átmásolt tankjai nem zavarnak senkit akkor a magyar tankok se zavarjanak senkit.
I hope this doesn't remove the chance of Hungary becoming its own tech line in the Italian tree like South Africa was for the British. It has so many unique designs that would greatly help flesh out Italy's WWII lineups.
can you not like....make EVERY hungarian vehicle limited and/or a premium? its really sad that i have to spend money for a mediocre tank from my country otherwise i'll miss out on it and not have it at all.....its really scummy
Yeeees, thank you Gaijin ^-^ i love it already, im throwing money at the screen right now but it doesnt wooork, i want it and i want it now T_T
