 The Zrínyi II boasts robust survivability with its frontal armour averaging 75 mm, augmented by an additional 20 mm from tracks placed on the frontal section. This configuration enables confident frontal engagements against opponents, barring high-penetration tank destroyers.
-However, not all frontal armour is uniformly 75 mm thick, as the weaker spots include the driver port, gun mantlet, and lower front plate (LFP), each measuring 50 mm. The upper front plate (UFP), with a thickness of only 13 mm, angles at 75°. While this angle provides some protection, effectively safeguarding against impacts ranging from 20 to 50 mm, depending on the angle of impact. Increasing this angle involves cresting hills or other inclines, effectively hiding the LFP and maximizing protection for the UFP.

Increasing this angle involves cresting hills or other inclines, effectively hiding the LFP and maximizing protection for the UFP.
 While the frontal armour of the Zrínyi II provides substantial protection, the side and rear of the vehicle are equipped with a comparatively weaker 25 mm of armour, rendering them susceptible to penetration by most vehicles, excluding light machine guns. The inclusion of side skirts, 8 mm thick, offers additional defence. These side skirts can protect against low-end chemical shells (HE / HEAT) and slightly reduce the penetration of AP shells, effectively offering a combined protection of 29 mm.

-The {{PAGENAME}} has 75 mm of frontal armour, plus the addition 20 mm from tracks that are placed on frontal armour. This means that you can, with ease, frontally face your opponents. Most opponents would not be able to penetrate the front armour with ease, with the exception of well-informed players that know the {{PAGENAME}} weak points as well as tank destroyers. The biggest frontal weak spot is the 50 mm of armour in front of driver. Most of tanks can penetrate this spot, but it won't one-shot the {{PAGENAME}}. Besides the frontal armour, at the sides and at the back there are around 25mm of armour. This is very weak and can allow the {{PAEGNAME}} to be one-shot destroyed, so it is important to face the enemy directly in the front to make the most of the frontal armour.

-The {{PAGENAME}} has very good frontal armour, which can encourage an aggressive play style with this tank with front facing towards the enemy. It can absorb most of shells from the tanks around your BR. Use this to advance aggressively to take points and hold them by facing towards where the enemies are expected to attack from, so long as the side armour is not exposed to any enemy fire.
+The Zrínyi II tank features robust frontal armour, allowing for an assertive playstyle because of the ability to withstand most incoming shells from tanks within its BR range. Notably, the top speed of 40 km/h can be achieved both in forward and reverse, highlighting its agility in various manoeuvres. This versatility caters to both aggressive assault strategies and defensive positions.
-With the gun, the {{PAGENAME}} should be able to one-shot the majority of the opponents. For tougher enemies, try to aim for the weak points, one particularly good one is the cupola on German tanks. The gun, however, has a slow shell velocity so it could be difficult to attack enemies at ranges, but with some experiences this could be corrected to a sure hit even at far distances, making the {{PAGENAME}} perfect for sniping.
+Positioning and awareness are key when engaging enemies; it is crucial to expose only the frontal armour and avoid revealing vulnerable side armour. Light tanks should not be underestimated, given their agility, which allows them to flank and attack from the side or rear.
-If there is a need to displace or adjust the {{PAGENAME}}'s position, remember that it has the same forward and backward speed around 25-30km/h (in realistic), if you have to retreat just go backwards. In case of a bad situation, using smoke can help obscure parts of the tank, especially when the driver is knocked out for some crucial seconds to replace the crew before escaping.
+The Zrínyi stands out for its ability to eliminate adversaries with a single powerful shot, primarily when utilizing the High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) shell, which is the recommended option. This shell is capable of penetrating armour up to 120 mm, providing a more effective solution than the default High-Explosive (HE) shell. However, it's important to note that these shells have a low velocity, requiring careful aim, especially at longer ranges. Additionally, users should be mindful of the reload time on this large-calibre cannon, which ranges from 13 to 10 seconds. This aspect, combined with the low shell velocity, underscores the need for strategic positioning and accurate aiming during engagements.
-Some enemies to be especially cautious against are tank destroyers, especially those with large-caliber guns (SU-122, Ho-Ro, etc.). Also don't underestimate light tanks because they can easily flank the {{PAGENAME}} and shoot it from an unsuspecting location. The reload time is not the fastest, but it is recommended to upgrade the crew to ace because you shorten reload time by three whole seconds.
+In summary, the Zrínyi II's strategic advantage lies in its well-armoured frontal profile, versatile speed in both directions and potent HEAT shell. Players should exercise caution, leveraging the tank's strengths while being mindful of potential vulnerabilities.
