The 44M Rohamloveg "Jagdtas" was a thought up tank destroyer based on chassis of the 44M Tas medium tank. While it has been claimed they were made, Hungarian industry struggled to make two incomplete prototype vehicles of the 44M Tas and there are no primary sources about this tank destroyer from 1940s. Because of this the tank has been partly retired, it has been removed from maps and the scope settings have been deleted. It is still extant in the game files.
The gun on this vehicle is an 88 mm 44M 88/56 gun, a Hungarian designation of the German 88mm KkwK 36 L/56 (from the Tiger) produced by Hungary. With it the Jagdtas looks similar to the 44M Zrínyi I project. The secondary weapon was the 8 mm Solothurn 34/40M MG in the hull. The weight of this tank was around 37 ton and it had a length of 9.5m without the gun, width of 3.5m and the height of 2.3m. It had 120 mm of armor in the front, 50 mm on sides and 20 mm on the roof and back. This tank destroyer had seen no service and none prototypes has beenbuilt.
with 88mm 44M 88/71[]
Another theory was that the Jagdtas could have had the stronger 88mm 44M 88/71, the Hungarian version of the German 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun used in the Königstiger.
