Huge +1 from me, a very well made and accurate suggestion!
Honestly it’s kind of shocking that over a year after the Hungarian ground subtree was added and this still isn’t in the game considering how iconic, well documented and easy it would be to add.
It would be great to have an AA in Italian 3.3, and there is already a semi-ready model in the game
Hungarian 40mm tank gun shells’ cutaways
Form left to right:
40mm 39.M anti-aircraft high-explosive shell: used by the Nimród SPAAG, if the shell didn’t hit the target it self-destroyed in the air after some time to prevent it from falling back to the ground and accidentally hit someone. Common HE shells (also called as 39.M) were similar to this but without the self-destroying fuse. the 75mm version of the common HE shell was the 42/38.M HE shell which was used by the Turán II, Turán III and Zrínyi I. The 20mm shell of the Toldi I and the Csaba were also similar, it was called 36.M. The explosive filler for all HE shells was TNT.
40mm 36.M armor-piercing high-explosive shell: the Hungarian name was páncélgránát, probably taken from the German panzergranate. This was the standard anti-tank shell for all 40mm guns, so it was used by the Nimród, Toldi IIA, Toldi III and the Turán I too. The 75mm version of the shell was the 42/36.M which was used by the Turán II, Turán III and Zrínyi I. The 20mm shell of the Toldi I and Csaba were also similar, it was called 36.M too. The explosive filler for all APHE shells was Pentolite 50/50 (mix of 50% TNT and 50% PETN) from August 1942, before that it was either PETN or TNT.
40mm 43.M cored AP shell: developed in 1942-43 to increase the armor piercing capabilities of the 40mm guns. Since Hungary didn’t have the industrial capacities to make tungsten steel cored shells were used instead. It was made only in 40mm caliber during WW2. The shell was used by the Nimród, Toldi IIa, Toldi III and Turán I.
It is Hungarian - not German - so presumably in the Italian tree.
This really needs inclusion ASAP. It would help fill out Italian SPAA options and we basically already have it in game in the Swedish tree as the ANTI-II. Plus its an iconic Hungarian vehicle.
+1
More Hungarian designs are indeed really required! :)
Some Hungarian variants and Romanian tanks should be added to Italy to help give it more filler throughout the tiers
+1 Should’ve been in ages ago
+1 Considering its Hungary’s only homemade SPAA if i remember correctly, it only makes sense for it to be in the Italian Tech Tree and its honestly criminal that it wasn’t added when the Hungarian Sub Tree was added to the Italian Tech Tree
Proper SPAA sure, but there are still a decent handful of gun trucks and other Hungarian anti-air options that could be added to Italy.
Like what other options, could you show me or send links?
Also i was just saying from what i remembered and idk if Italy otherwise has many other options for low tier SPAA’s
You can see most of them in the Hungarian tree forum proposal, and yes, Italy does have a few more options for low tier AA that have yet to be added.

Combination auto-cannon plus big BLOOP shell would be the most fun vehicle in the game.
Yes!! I need a Hungarian SPAA for my Hungarian line up
+1 Italy and L-62 ANTI in one? Yes please
+1 should of been added with the introduction of the Hungarian armored vehicles into the game.
I think adding this would get more people to play Italy at least in the low BR. I wouldn’t mind if it becomes an event vehicle.
It’s SPAAG, so hopefully it’d come to the regular tree.
Well if It would get the muzzle loadad grenade, then it’s suddenly a 2:1 arty-spaa. The kind of things you see in events. Now that’s another question if they would care to implement it, but I really hope we get a techtree version.
+1 italy still needs a low br Bofors aa
