Hungaria (Faction)

A country in eastern Europe and descendent from the Austro-Hungarian empire.

In War of Tactics, Hungaria is a minor axis faction, a smaller faction with a rather light but capable arsenal and with backing from it's Italien and German allies as well as captured or licensed equipment, which makes up a majority of the equipment available.

## Infantry

Hungarian infantry has a nice selection of equipment, but has a shortage of automatic weapons such as Automatic rifles and modern MGs. Infantry is fully capable of dealing with armoured units as they have both grenades, AT-rifles and rocket launchers and supplied recoilles guns available. Hungaria comes up short in the infantry selection however as they do not yet posses an Militia or ground-deployed Elite option for infantry.

Their infantry types are as followed

* Honved - Professional infantry
* Gyorshadtest - Professional infantry (with improved mobility)
* Hehs Urgo - Airborn, Elite infantry
* Mernök - Engineers

### Pros & Advantages

* *Gyorshadtest* do not pay mobility for mounting or dismounting vehicles, making them more mobile by truck or useful for rush tactics.
* Acces to potent anti-tank measures, supplied equipment and captured equipment.

### Cons

* No Militia and ground based Elite unit available (this is likely due to lack of research) which hinders the factions economical flexibility or abilities to attack and ambush.

## Armour

Hungaria has it's own production lines and industries which is fully capable to deliver armoured vehicles. However 1 of 3 things tend the happen to hungarian armour:

* The armour either has subpar armament. (the 20mm of hungaria is the weaker 20x105mm rather than the 20x138mm which is the norm)
* It's licens production and/or outdated
* It's supplied externally, making Hungaria somewhat a burden for it's historical allies.

This doesn't mean Hungaria is not able to match other factions when it comes to armoured warfare, but they are often better off not going toe to toe with major factions unless they have a tactical advantage.

### Pros & Advantages

* Lot of domestic variants of foreign equipment.
* A few far featched paperprojects and fictional vehicles are added for extra potency.
* Creative conversions of outdated chassies for modern combat.

### Cons

* The only truely potent units are supplied equipment or one-off models.
* While all around coverage is achived, the selection is rather small or underpowered.
* No *Prototype list* available for the armoured forces as they aren't that unique.
* Domestic units tend to be outdated by the time of adoption into active service.

## Artillery

Hungaria has a peculiar selection of artillery, the majority of heavy guns consist of dated or outdateed models. These have often been updated several times doing their service life. Calibers tend to be small but have several notifications or upgrades available.

### Pros & Advantages

* Several modifications available, PaK 36 is converted to fire more powerful 40mm ammo, Bofors L/60 have shielding for better survival.
* AT-rocket "macehead" platform available, a counter for even the heaviest of armour if it can get close enough.
* Unlike the armoured units, the artillery does have a *Prototype list* available with some powerful units.

### Cons

* Calibers tend to be too light for their intended roles.
* Their only modern AT-guns are german supplied PaKs or short range rockets.

## Airforce

The Hungarian airforce relies a lot on import and inspiration from other nations such as Italy and Germany, Imported equipment is also used to fill gaps in the arsenal such as 20mm autocannons.

Barely half the aircrafts are own production or designs, which leads to a rather mixed performance. The selection is better suited for deterring other aircraft as the selection of bombers and fighter bombers with proper payload, is rather limited and lacking in performance.

Hungaria might not have jet powered aircraft but the airforce is modern enough to use rockets as well as plenty of unique variants of imported planes, giving them advantages over the original designs.

### Pros & Advantages

* Potent Fighter selection of mixed origin.
* Great firepower available in the form of lend weapons and rockets.

### Cons

* Small selection of Fighter-bombers, bombers or planes with bomb payload.

## Railroad war

Hungaria has no large railroad guns but does have a a proper selection of artilery wagens and heavy mortars mounted on open cars. Unlike most railroad-waring nations, which are more suited for firesupport or direct engagements, Hungarian war trains follow the same doctrin as the armoured units, sticking to smaller guns and best deployed to either cover a flank or tank hunting if the enemy is light enough.

Anti-Tank rifles are common, these being the somewhat light *S-18/100 -20mm* backed up by either light artillery, machineguns or AA autocannons. However, trains are easily defeated if the enemy brings heavy armour, which is almost impervious to the rather light AT-guns available onboard.

## Assestment

Hungaria can in theory fight on even terms with any other factions. That is, as long as there is no heavy armour involved. If it is involved, their best course of action is to close with the enemy and shoot them to pieces, or deploy a glass cannon on the field and use it wisely. Hungaria is capable on the defense, but a bit lacking on the offensive as their most potent units, are either short ranged, prototypes, work of fiction or import.

## Trivia

* Despite being known as "Kingdom of Hungary" it had no ruling monarch between 1920 to 1946, however Miklos Horthy was the regent,
* Hungaria is perhaps the factions with the most unconfirmed or outright fake units involved as it helps balance and isn't considered a gamechanger.
