New Battle Pass Vehicle: 41.M Turan II Devblog [War Thunder]

Gaijin is working overtime to make sure I have work to do! They announced (rather late in the day) another vehicle for the new Battle Pass season, and this one's a rather good looking for an early war design. The 41.m Turan II (or 41.M Turán II for those that like their accent marks) sports a decent 75mm short barrel gun for rank II, so it should be a decent piece of kit.
