Hungary Review
IR 1

Gas mortars -> essentially a delayed death scythe any infantry caught in the smoke will die as the dot does 1/2 the hp of a cavalry unit. Have the same role of running a few but being cheaper to spawn makes them good. The dot works no matter what and ignores resistance so yes if you hit an armored flamethrower they will die to the DOT. A very powerful unit for how fast they spawn. They do 0 damage to anything mechanical so anything you spawn from a factory or the motorcycle soldier.

Armored Car "Cab" -> Slower then the armored car, but is more accurate with it's shots. Less armored then the tankette but fires an extra shot compared to it and is faster.

Wonder Emma -> Long range artillery, it's minimum range is howitzers maximum range with 300-600 and has the blast radius of a bertha/maus. Slow but decent.

Looking at their IR 1, it seems their a good faction if they call wall/tank trap up as armored cars are essentially a counter to their siege. They could go armored car spam as their AC's are going to land more shots from afar, and when you hit IR 2 they can swap quickly (10 seconds.)

IR 2

Cab AT: out dps' any tanks right now at 100 damage every 4 seconds and keeps it's Machine gun attack too unlike the tankette. Only costs 100/0/100 to upgrade and is essentially a better wheeled tank that you can pre-spawn. They honestly remove any niche India has in IR 2. (requires you to research light tanks in IR2 to change)

Nimrod: Oh boy, you liked the basic tank cannon the CAB AT had with 100 damage every 4 seconds, well boy oh boy get ready for that plus can hit air in the same range for 70. While being a bit slower then a tankette KD. It's strength is you cant counter this with bombers.

Squadron Tank II (forget it's name): It's essentially a squadron cannon tank with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cannon dont bother building these as they dont swap when you get the upgrade. Their minimum range of 200-400 is just too much since for the same cost and one research tech

Squadron Tank I: EVERYTHING THE ABOVE HAS BUT THE MINIMUM RANGE IS NOW 30. It's essentially a more accurate tank destroyer with tank stats instead of heavy tank stats. So a trade on survivability for consistency. A very good unit with 30-400 range.

Wonder Emma Fortified: Just don't do it unless you're planning to kill someone as they still take unit cap and can never swap back. It's essentially a mortar tower that takes 8 of your unit cap. You could do it as a response to losing your infantry to smg and keep blasting away before they get in range but the use cases are very minimal.

How I feel:

Their bad, slow moving, needing to transition, high minimum range wonder emma makes them weak to french FT spam or armored car spam. Your only real solution is out produce them in armored cars and have your eco be protected by walls/towers. IF they can get to your eco.

IR 1
Pros: Wonder Emma is good if supported by howitzers to keep faster stuff like armored cars off them, as we lack a close range IR 1 anti armor vehicle. Gas mortars are cheap delayed and fast to produce after mortars are research that will counter infantry. if you get 3-5 you can kill a blob of units with no issue for a fraction of the cost the enemy spent. Swam infantry like militia might still be an issue but the best plan seems to be gas mortars + caby's Maybe a wonder emma or two to take out enemies.

Wonder Emma's are alright, possible to snipe TC's if you spam them but need to be defended as their minimum range leaves a lot to desire. Honestly they're a playable Germany. Slow powerful siege with armored cars, and a special gas mortar to deal with mass infantry that might counter your armored cars.

IR 2

Where it shines, nim rods and the Caby AT both have a great place with their ridiculous rate of fire and damage behind them. Seeing how you probabily spammed Caby's once you research tank it only takes 10 seconds to swap. Snipe some TC's and switch your Caby AT's to the superior nimrods. Their version of a squad cannon tank hybrid is a nice support unit to snipe out tank turret bunkers.

Weak too

Russia

France (FT Spam)

Poland (Tankette KS Spam)

China (early mounted guard spam can destroy their economy.) IF they didn't prep with towers/walls.

Strong Versus

Turkey (light cannons would get sniped by emma's.) Wonder Emma's would straight up counter them if spammed with gas mortars/soldiers/machine guns

British (Wonder Emma counters their slow units)

India (Just has a better IR 2, and have access to bombers to deal with light tank/armored cars.)

France IR 2, their strong air and FT's are no match to KD's.

Japan: Low range artillery, air focus = bad vs them plus versus water wonder emma's can snipe most their air. When matched in IR 2, their nim rods will stop the suicide plane spam.

China: If you can get armored cars out fast enough and some poison mortars. You will counter them the entire game

Germany: Hungary, is just better germany in their play style, and has none of the issues of being slow in IR 2.

My guess in the meta: Will be the back liner rushing for IR 2, since it's IR 2 power is hard to compare with how strong they are. All they really need to do is surround their base in tank traps so they cant get sniped by zhamby's (rocket camels). They're not top tier like Russia is with ironless soldiers, the death scythe with solid artillery that can take you out in IR 1 easily (by themselves.) As they're weak to armored car spam on the offensive.

Nice, thanks for the review.
I thought Hungary would act like a Turkey defense for EU, but with Wonder Emma Fortified costing 8 pop... Nah.
Cab AT mixed with a few nomrods are looking quite promissing, I'm looking forward to see how it deals against Tankette KD spam at late game in a proper fight considering Poland's economic advantage.

I think Caby AT's would win since their absurd dps they have almost double any light tank/tankette KD sharing it's place with the nimrod.
How do you know?
