Due to being forbidden from developing tanks after World War I, Hungary was still new to developing their own medium tanks from scratch. Therefore, the Turán I was originally based on the Czechoslovak Škoda T-21 medium tank prototype, which the Hungarians first developed into the T-22 design, before accepting the T-22 into service as the Turán I. The Turán I featured a redesigned turret, hull, and suspension, as well as a Hungarian 40 mm cannon and Hungarian 8 mm machine guns, increased armour protection, smoke grenades, and other changes. The [[Turan II|Turán II]] and [[Turan III|Turán III]] Hungarian medium tanks were developed from the Turán I. The Turán I became the backbone of Hungary's tank forces early in WW2, serving on the Eastern Front alongside the [[Toldi IIA|Toldi]] series light tanks and later the [[Zrinyi II|Zrinyi]] series tank destroyers, as well as some German-supplied tanks.

-It was introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]] as part of the Hungarian branch of the Italian tech tree. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the first medium tank available in the Hungarian section of the Italian Tech Tree, it features goood mobility and excellent reload rate for a medium tank, its armour, while not the best, can be angled to increase its effectiveness, however it comes with the downside that other sections of the armour are no longer angled. The tank features smoke grenades for easy escapes as well as armour skirts on the sides, that are enough to deal with lower caliber HEAT and HE shells. The tank however suffers from other problems, its 40mm gun, while fast firing, has mediocre shells for its BR in terms of penetration, it has a mediocre turret traverse speed at 14.3 degrees/sec and it struggles when climbing up hills.
