Did Hungary use the standard Bofors 40mm as Anti-Aircraft Gun ?

Hi terminator,

the Nimrod link was an excellent idea so i could confirm in one of my books by Steven Zaloga that the Hungarians build those guns under licence.

As i want to conlcude 1.08 the gun will have to wait for a later update (most likely 1.09) to get into the game.

Regards,
