I think Italy should get their Fiat 665NM Protetto as a Premium APC because Italy has no APC squad and right now in the current event, the Sd.Kfz.7 is very out of place!

Probably not 154th Murge division, since Murge was an infantry division so it surely did not have APCs however tanks and motorised divisions such as 102nd Trento or 135th Ariete were far more likely to have APCs though APCs in general were pretty rare in the Italian army.

I post my sources for a reason. This APC was only assigned to 2 divisions.

Agree. I’d be happy with a simple wheeled Fiat truck. I’m not asking for something too complicated.

the Breda 51 could be the most feasible as its version on the Breda 52 hull (essentially a version with the reinforced frame for the gun 90/53 ) is already on WT it would be enough to remove the gun and put back the box

That should be their TT one in their sub TT. (If the devs listen to me)

TT or nothing

It has a MG. All MG APCs are premium, it’ll also have a TT counterpart.

I believe that half-track like the M3a1 half-track (aka the soviets one) should be TT

how is the sdkfz 7 out of place though.

He probably doesnt know that Italy also used Sdkfz 7.

I’m talking about the event. I would prefer if they went full Italian for it.

the M armored division had them outside of that there were Italian copies such as the Breda 61 and Fiat 727

Yeah, I also was gonna say that they weren’t called Sd.Kfz.7’s, they were called Breda 61s. So for the event they could’ve at least changed the name!

They are two different vehicles, they look similar but they are not the same.

I know but knowing our devs, they could’ve at least done that.

Let’s put Sd.Kfz.7 of the M division and the problem is solved for the moment
