I’ve noticed for awhile now that any Italian mains are unable to effectivly take tanks outside of BR I-II since well… There is no other tanks for Italy outside of BR I. A simple solution would be to give Italy another tank, the Carro Armato P40.

Quick Background: The Carro Armato P40 was an Italian heavy tank used during WWII (Usually defined as a medium tank compared to other nations). It’s armament included a 75 mm gun and a 8 mm Breda machine gun, along with an optional machine gun in an anti-aircraft mount. It’s initial design started in 1940 but very few were built by the time Italy signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1943 and the few that were produced afterwards were used by the Germans.

Heres some of the basic specifications:

Armor

  • Hull: 50 mm Front, 45 mm Sides, 40 mm Rear
  • Turret: 60 mm Front, 45 mm Sides & Rear

Weapons

  • Primary: Anslado 75 mm L/34 gun
  • Secondary: 1-2 8 mm Breada 38 machine guns (Depending if the extra one is added)

Speed

  • Max Speed: 40 km/h (on road)
  • Operational Range: 280 km (170 mi)

Other Specifications

  • Length: 5.80 Meters
  • Width: 2.80 Meters
  • Height: 2.5 Meters
  • Weight: 26 Tons
  • Crew Capacity: 4 (Commander/ Gunner, Loader, Driver, Radio Operator)
  • Engine: V-12 SPA 342 Diesel (24 litre)
  • BR III

Armor seems alot like T34 armor, whats the properties of its gun?

Max pen of 79 mm with 270 grams of TNT filler.

The 75/32 M41 is pretty effective in BR III. I love using it in my BR II Italian Line up and it works like a dream in up tiers

Hm, same issue with soviets I guess.

I wonder if Soviet guns could penetrate KV1 at all

It could with HEAT shells which are must if we are to make this tank BR3.

It’d be pathetic without HEAT.

Yeah P26/40 is not a heavy tank, even if Italians claimed it was for them.
Its most comparable to the M4A1 sherman, but is smaller and more crammed so it has less ammo, only 2 men turret and even worse mobility.
HEAT would be the only saving grace since its an advantage that you have one shell for dual purpose anti-infantry and anti-tank. Nothing game breaking really.
