Add P26/40 as an Italian premium tank squad

The “P 26/40” was an Italian World War II “heavy tank” (sometimes defined “medium tank” when compared to tanks of other nations). It was armed with a 75 mm gun and an 8 mm Breda machine gun, plus another optional machine gun in an AA position. Design had started in 1940 but very few had been built by the time Italy signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1943 and the few produced afterwards were used by the Germans.

The official Italian designation was carro armato (“armoured vehicle”) P 26/40. The designation means: P for “pesante” (“heavy”), the weight of 26 tonnes, and the year of adoption. While considered a heavy tank according to Italy’s standards, the P26/40 was much more similar in performance to the medium tanks of other nations.

Nah i want it as a normal tree vehicle. It’s free to grind in WT it’s the most basic 75mm Italian tank you just don’t paylock it. I’m still disappointed about paywalling Chi-ha, Stug III G, Matilda (only Hedgehog should be a premium), Firefly and Churchill.

I think it makes more sense for it to be German since they used the majority of them

Because Germany helped to manufacture them without their help it would not exist.

tehy didnt, they just used them they were manufactured by italian factories in salò
