Arditi Italian stormtroopers (FIAT mod s MG)


Like the German Storm-troopers the Arditi - Wikipedia are a unit that started in WW1. Both were elite shock troopers design to assault trenches. Using light cannon, grenades and SMG’s. By WW2 they were equipped with ski’s.

The FIAT model S would be a good choice for a mobile unit. A light machine gun much more like a bar then heavier guns.

This weapon could easily be fired from the shoulder (standing) hip while (crouched) or on a bipod while (prone). Thrown over the shoulder with a sling carried by a handle or carried facing the ground like a rifle.

I see little reason they could not fit at BR3 the most loved BR in the game. A good unit to round out any player who wants to play as the second Roman empire instead of the thousand-year R. Good for an event or premium squad and fun to play in sand and snow.

i could be wrong, but they are already in the game.

which are the no longer obtainable tunisian premium flame trooper squad. also known as the italian guastatori:

axis_tunisia_prem_flametrooper_1_icon

but in all honesty, i do not know, as i do not own them.

so they could be perhaps another unit with a very similar squad icon.

( why were they given zh rifles? it’s to anyone guesses )

although still.
an additional squad wouldn’t hurt i suppose.

The guastatori in enlisted are part of the 1st Company Giaguaro, of the guastatori battalion, not from the arditi, they just share some similar insignia with the arditi, but those are two different corps

Well arditi see no Action and officially they weren’t deployed, so… But yea, we already live in the realm of the possibility

Adding the Arditi to the game is a good idea.
But I think a sub machine gun is better suited to the unit that was set up to assault enemy trenches.

I would suggest this one:

That was my idea as well but the Beretta model 1 was already in the game, saw the machine gun and recalled the fiat model s. But thanks for the idea and contribution.
