The Hungarian Army in the V2 Soviet Vehicle Handbook doesnt match the true army
The Hungarian Peoples Army had one tank division, the 11th and five Motor Rifle Divisions - the 4th, 8th, 9th, 15th and 17th.
Of these the 11th, 4th and 8th were category B formations with the rest being category C.
They were very unenthusiastic as to their Warsaw Pact participation and had a lot of obsolete equipment, with the T-54/55 being their main battle tank.
There was also an independent tank brigade (the 1st) and a singleair assault battalion, the 37th Air Assault Battalion.
If you look at the V2 Soviet book you have four motorized rifle brigades, three tank brigades and an assault helo regiment plus a para unit they didnt have.
Clearly the V2 guideline doesnt match the actual Hungarian OOB.
