It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with Casemate#Armoured vehicles, an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun.

44M Tas
The 44M Tas was a Hungarian heavy tank/ medium tank design of World War II. It was developed to combat heavily armored Soviet tanks encountered on the Eastern Front and to replace the older Turán I and Turán II tanks which Hungary operated, modernising Hungary's armoured forces.

The main armament would likely have been a Hungarian built heavily modified anti-tank version of the 80 mm Bofors AA gun.
