42M Toldi IIa is a Hungarian light tank.
Description[]
The 42M Toldi IIa (sometimes referred to as Toldi B40) was an upgunned variant of the earlier Toldi light tanks, replacing the obsolete 20mm anti-tank cannon with a 40mm licenced Bofors gun via conversion rather than manufacturing completely new tanks. The converted Toldi tanks were still insufficient against contemporary Soviet tanks, especially head-on, but they were nonetheless used heavily in battles, with significant losses, until the end of the war.
In BattleGroup42, the 40mm gun gives the Toldi IIa better anti-tank capability, but only against the side and rear armour of Soviet tanks at best. It retains the coaxial 8mm machine gun for anti-infantry measures. As such it should be used in reconnaissance or ambushes whenever possible.
The vehicle can be found on maps such as 4212-Donets Defense and 4301-Voronezh.
