Seems like the Italian tanks need a buff to balance out the far superior British tanks. I know Italian tanks were crap in reality, but as it is now, the Allies have complete dominance. As a game, the teams should start out with a semblance of balance; either team has a relatively equal chance to win. The British tank player need to be VERY new or not very smart to die from an Italian tank (I guess the third possibility is VERY unlucky). Please let me know if you found ANY redeeming factors with the Italian tanks. I find zero!
Well i haven’t tried that mode yet, couldnt decide which army to start off, but i did peek at the specs of each tank, and would say the speed, should give it 1 redeeming factor 
I did play WT, and when the Italian tree came , i enjoyed the speed of them, so much i did whole tree, spaded/aced etc.
italian tanks is not that bad…or good, same as british tanks…

Just flank it
Nah, i personally find it harder to destroy A13 from side than from the front.

cant say that they need a buff. then i have to use the M14 i destroy all there dreams of doing something with the A13
The m14/41 should have been the italian counter to the A13 something else to be the counter to the daimler and i have no clue what the hell the dev team was smoking when they decided that the absolute garbage POS tank that is the 75/32 is somehow a equal counter to the grant, the 75/32 has no machine guns, no HE just underwhelming ap type shell, which makes it completely useless in any way shape or form to help out your team with infantry while the grant has the 75mm with he and machine guns.
I don’t have a problem with any Italian tank now that the M14’s MGs are fixed.
Just wait till you get the 75/32, unless they made massive changes to the tank we got to play with in the CBT it will be a massive POS and in no way equal to the grant

Its same, no MG or HE shells. Soo real balance.
VS A13 and Daimler it is great, if they are from front, from sides it just comes through without doing damage. But its just worse in everything compared to Grant.
Great, probably so the devs can introduce a special higher tier premium tank for the italians, probably a pzIV or something
Tbh, i dont know why they did not given us P26/40 as it would be much better vs Grant. Especially when they already abandoned historical accuracy in all campaigns.

That would be true if damage model on tanks woudnt be broken. And it cant still compete with Grant vs infantry, as it has not a single one anti-infantry weapon, it does not even have HE shells.

yes this is true. but if the TD is the first in line something is wrong.

it seems like i am playing different game, seems like with each shots the italian tanks always knock out my crew, no matter where they are aiming, especially that 20 mm canon

the 20mm can take you out if they know where to aim which is to the right bottom of the gun mantlet on the A13 but the A13 can easily bend the 20mm armored car over with range.
And with the M14/41 you can easily bounce nearly everything from both the A13 and the Daimler by slightly turning your tank sideways and just ram shells into the same spot as with the 20mm since both the loader and commander are located in that spot
The AB 41’s armour is so weird. It shouldn’t be able to deflect and tank ANY shots really with only 8 mm hull armour and yet it survives/ deflects a bunch of shots.
It’'s almost like the shells of the A13 go straight through the ammo rack or the tank and rarely do 1 shot fatal damage. Most of the time it takes 2 to 3 hits to the ammo rack.
Result - because the AB41 can reliably chain kill the gunner in the A13 they usually win head on engagements and then start rolling around the map confidently pestering British forces.

Same can be said for the A13 to be fair, i can launch shell after shell into the ammo rack and it wont go up with the M14/41, same goes for the AT rifle, i pen the side of the turret and hit the loader and it doesnt even kill him.
