Description
The Toldi IIA is a premium gift rank I Hungarian light tank with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB/RB/SB) in the Italian tech tree. It was introduced during Update "Ixwa Strike" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season III, "Strength athletics".
The Toldi IIA is a Hungarian light tank of World War II named after the popular Hungarian folklore character Toldi Miklós. Developed from the Toldi II in order to up-gun it with a more potent 40 mm gun. 80 Toldi IIs were modified into Toldi IIAs sporting 40 mm 37/42M guns, and these served on the Eastern Front fighting Soviet forces. The original Toldi I was based on and developed from the Landsverk L-60, and the Toldi II was an improved variant of the Toldi I, with better armour, which the Toldi IIA retains. This allows the Toldi IIA to stand its ground, but it shares some of the same weaknesses as its Swedish relatives.
General info
Survivability and armour
The hull of the Toldi IIA is quite similar to that of the strv m/40L. It is a very resistant hull at this battle rating, able to bounce several rounds if angled correctly. In terms of survivability, this vehicle does not perform well: ammo racks are positioned on the sides of the hull, which is a benefit against frontal shots but a disadvantage against side shots. The crew compartment is tight; a well-aimed shot to the center of the vehicle will knock it out.
Armour type:
- Rolled homogeneous armour
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | 20 mm (56°) Upper glacis 13 mm (46°) Lower glacis 23 mm (25°) Upper plate 23 mm (13-19°) Driver bulge |
13 mm (15°) | 9 mm (19°) Top 9 mm (28°) Bottom |
5 mm |
| Turret | 13 mm (14°) Turret front 33 mm (2°) Gun mantlet |
13 mm (15°) | 13 mm (17-25°) | 7 mm |
| Cupola | 13 mm (13°) | 13 mm (10-15°) | 13 mm (17°) | 5 mm |
Notes:
- Suspension wheels, tracks and torsion bars are 15 mm thick.
Mobility
The Büssing NAG L8V/36TR is an engine capable of delivering 155 horsepower and manages to take the Toldi IIA to a top speed of 47 km/h. Unfortunately, the reverse is not as good, at only -5 km/h. This engine manages to make the Toldi IIA maintain a constant speed of at least 35 km/h on any terrain. The chassis is great for driving on all types of terrain that can be found in the game: sand, snow, mud and dirt.

The main armament of the Toldi IIA is a 40 mm 37/42M cannon that can fire 3 different types of shells; APHEBC, HE, and APBC. It is recommended to use the 43M APBC shell as it is the most powerful; at its battle rating it is an excellent shell.

With its good speed, it can change positions effectively and quickly and with its decent mobility, it can afford to go and capture points first. With the limited protection of the Toldi IIA, it is recommended to adopt a playstyle more focused on spotting enemies and supporting fire for allies. But for more dynamic players, it can be used as a frontline vehicle to capture the points in the first line and help the advance of allies.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Very short reload
- Shells have effective penetration
- Good armour
- Good mobility and handling
Cons:
- Shells may struggle against heavily-armoured tanks
- Flat upper front armour plates are noticeable weak points

After defeat in World War I, Hungary, like Germany, was prohibited from having its own army and armoured vehicles. However, like Germany, this ban didn't hold Hungary back for long. After purchasing small batches of Italian and German tanks, the Hungarian government announced its intention to select a foreign tank design to be deployed at domestic facilities. As a result of tests, preference was given to the Swedish light tank Landsverk L-60, which later entered service with Sweden under the designation Strv m/38. The tank was adapted to the types of guns and sights available to Hungary, the turret was slightly modified and launched into series under the name 38.M Toldi. The first series of Hungarian light tanks, built before April 1940, actively participated in combat - including heavy battles on the Eastern Front, where it showed itself completely indefensible against Soviet medium and heavily armoured vehicles. After two modernizations, the protection on the gun mantlet and the frontal projection of the hull was strengthened, and the 40 mm cannon became the main weapon. Now the tank was completely produced from Hungarian components, but with the increased protection and increased calibre, the weight of the vehicle also increased, which subsequently affected its movement performance. Despite all efforts, the upgraded Toldi II and IIA tanks could no longer compete with the Soviet tanks of the second half of the war. Almost all tanks in the series were lost in battles or by technical failures, the last Toldis were destroyed in the battles for Budapest. The only surviving Toldi IIA tank is currently on display in the Patriot park near Kubinka, Moscow region.
