Description
The 43M Zrínyi II was a Hungarian World War II assault gun inspired by the German success with the StuG III. Like the StuG, a versatile self-propelled gun built on the chassis of a medium tank, the Hungarians decided to create their own version using the Hungarian Turán tank's chassis. The project was named Zrínyi, after a famous Hungarian noble family and military leader, Miklós Zrínyi. The plan was to produce two variants of the Zrínyi: one with a 75 mm anti-tank gun (Zrínyi I), and one with a 105 mm howitzer for assault operations (Zrínyi II). Around 72 Zrínyi IIs were built and the vehicle saw combat fighting against the Soviets on the Eastern Front and in the defence of Hungary. The production of Zrínyi IIs was severely slowed due to Hungarian factories being targeted by a serious Allied strategic bombing campaign.
The 40/43.M Zrinyi II was introduced in Update "Sons of Attila" as part of the Hungarian subtree in the Italian tech tree. Armed with a powerful 105 mm howitzer, this low-profile Hungarian tank destroyer with adequate frontal armour is a dangerous opponent for almost any enemy tank it might face, whilst still retaining the decent mobility, excellent reverse speed and smoke grenades of the Turán series.
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Powerful 105 mm howitzer can easily destroy most tanks it will face
- 120 mm of penetration on the HEAT round is enough to deal with almost any opponent you will face
- Good explosive mass for both rounds
- Has relatively strong frontal armour which can absorb a lot of fire
- Has smoke grenades
- Has an excellent reverse speed
- Has mesh side skirt armour which protects against HEAT and HE projectiles
- Has plenty of ammo
Cons:
- No machine guns
- No AP rounds of any kind, if an enemy is behind a fence, your HEAT/HE shells will just destroy the fence instead of the enemy
- Long reload
- Low-velocity rounds
- No turret
- Roof armour is weak and thus vulnerable to strafing from aircraft
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
