The Hungarian Army in WW2 was the only one from the minor Axis nations to produce their own tanks. An example is the Turán: Hungary’s mass-produced medium tank, made by MÁVAG (Magyar Királyi Állami Vas-, Acél- és Gépgyárak). It was named after the historical and “mythical” Turan region in Asia.
The LOSAT-CCVL is a very unique vehicle in War Thunder in both looks and gameplay. Boasting low survivability, no gun elevation whatsoever, but the best penetration for a kinetic penetrator in game, the LOSAT needs little to no introduction. Lets take a look into what makes this "Tank" special!
During the Berlin Victory Parade, the IS-3 was first observed by the western allies. Among the British, fear grew about its armour and the fact that only the 17-pounder, firing the scarce APDS (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot) stood a chance at penetrating it. As a result, a British program began to develop a gun capable of accomplishing the feat of penetrating the IS-3 frontally. When doubts arose about the planned vehicle, FV215, coming into service before cold war hostilities in sufficient numbers, a stopgap order was issued in 1950. This utilised the Centurion MK3 hull and mounted a 183mm anti-tank gun. This was named the FV4005.
Tank destroyers are obvious in what they do: they sport firepower and ammunition to take down tanks (obviously), whether light or heavy, with ease. However, certain tank destroyers, like the M10 or the StuG have armor to keep them alive in combat, and not all tank destroyers have access to such armor. That doesn’t stop tank destroyers like the small but mighty Pvkv II from picking their targets out like fish in a barrel.
The SU-85A is the big brother of the SU-76M, featuring the same strengths and weaknesses but at a much higher Battle Rating. Unlike the SU-76M, it is armed with the 85mm D-5S cannon and has access to a wide variety of very potent ammunition types that excel at both short range and long range. The armor of the two vehicles is the same, with the only exception being a thin armor plate that covers the crew from the rear from low calibre machine guns.
