Wait, I can’t even change the size of the images? This new forum is even worse than I thought, not to mention the millions of hours of work and information that will be lost. Please do excuse the shocking presentation of this post - my original looked much better.

Well researched and very excited! I hope this gets the traction to be added soon.

With Hungary officially being added, there is ABSOLUTELY no way they can exclude this tank. I feel that both the 8cm and 7.5cm variants must be added. +1 for both.

An absolute +1 from me, both the 7.5cm and 8cm versions are a definite must-have for the tech tree, especially considering the 8cm gun was indeed built and tested.

Look Like the engineers took the Best from germany and russia.
The front/turret from the Panther and the side/hull from the T-34.
Definetely worth the add. The hungarian Tanks are the unsung heroes (Never know that they had their own Tanks).

Especially now this would make for a wonderful addition to the game, both versions.

+1, this would be greatly beneficial towards italy’s lack of heavy tanks

Looks cool…but also looks like they left Panther and T-34-85 alone in one room and 9 months after this came out…i cant help it, it just looks like that to me

Yeah, the shape of the 44M Tas was inspired by the Panther, and the Panther itself was inspired by the T-34. I think the Hungarians combined the best parts of the Panther (strong armour, good gun, ok mobility) with the best parts of the T-34 (simplicity, ease of mass production, use of more reliable parts) to make the 44M Tas.

Would love to see it get added, but if it isn’t a running prototype I doubt Gaijin would consider, at least with their current policy.

The only requirements for suggesting a vehicle for WT are that it has to have had a partially completed prototype, which this did, so I don’t see why some of you are doubting its validity. Considering the only part of the Ho-Ri that was ever built was its naval gun and it was still added, or the E-100 and Chi-Ri had similarly incomplete prototypes and were still added, or the R2Y2 was never made as a jet and it was still added as a jet, the Ki-200 was never made, etc., the 44M Tas has a perfectly fine chance of being added. Enough is known about the Tas to model it 90% accurately, which is good enough considering more well known vehicles are sometimes less accurately modelled by Gaijin.

A lot of the Japanese stuff that are of paper/prototypes were added due to the old consultant forging documents into them being real; the E-100 stopped being circulated after the last tournament event and it was a special vehicle anyway

Wow, I didn’t know that. But still, it’s allowed to be suggested and there are vehicles in a similar situation (or worse) already in WT. Besides, this vehicle was being built and would have been completed had the factory not been unfortunately bombed. Unlike a major country’s prototype that they decided they were no longer interested in and then abandoned the project, Hungary definitely would have completed and pursued the development of this vehicle as much as possible. At this point we are speaking of banning this vehicle on the basis of external historical factors like who is winning a world war. That’s not exactly fair. We can’t decide that a vehicle can’t be added based on where some bombs landed, just imagine the Maus prototype is nearly complete but is destroyed by a random meteorite, would it be fair to say we can’t have the Maus in WT then?

I’m personally ok with adding half completed or soon to be completed vehicles, this is a Gaijin’s policy whether they choose to or not.

Yeah, ultimately it’s their decision, although I highly recommend adding this vehicle because of how important it is. Not only would it be the first heavy tank in the Italian tree, it would also plug a massive gap in the Hungarian subtree (from the Turan III at 3.7 to the 2S1 at 6.0), it’s also unique, interesting, powerful, fun, so would likely be a popular vehicle, and it would help form a good lineup at its BR. Personally, I think this would become the most popular vehicle in the Hungarian subtree (save maybe the Lynx KF41), so it would be well worth the effort to implement it.
