Hello! In enlisted the first engineer squad you get is Italian however they don’t build anything Italian, so I am going to be going through their builds and what to change them to (this will only effect Italian squads).

First up we have their AT gun. Currently they build a German 5cm PaK 38. Instead of building this the Italian engineers should build the Cannone da 75/32 modello 37. This is the same gun that is one the P40. They have this gun for BR 1-3 (3-4 matches will upgrade to the Pak 40) but at 4-5 they will still use the Pak 40.

no because it is a 75mm gun with heat usable at br 1 2 3 if it was a at cannon usable at br 2 3 4 i would be all for it. large guns have an increased chance to get larger kills that is a small shell has less chance to one shot a tank. meaning if it hit any part of a br 1 2 tank i am betting it would kill the entire crew, turret hit that would have killed 1 2 crew members with the pack 40 is now a tank kill. being usable at br 1 2 3 it needs to balance penetration and fill which this does not it can pen anything br 1 2 3 and then kill the entire crew. vyes its so unfair of me to call out a high velocity large shell no i hate germany and only want to see them loose.

this is why short answer no long answer nooooo
Able to pen everything but
The br4 jumbo turret no I am not getting the 101mm front hull stops it
Br4 Churchill turret and hull front
Br5 76w turret hull front
Br5 super Pershing shield unless the 2mm of extra is enough to stop the 75 32 heat
Every other tank br 1 - 5 can be pen by the ap or heat

There is another Italian AT gun I could suggest for BR 1. Its caliber is 47 mm

I must say no for this one, having an infrantry AT gun lobbing HE all over the maps is not my favorite gameplay.

All other AT guns have a caliber between 45 and 57 mm, resulting in a much reduced HE firepower.

The main issue still lies with the current battle rating (BR) system. Even in a match where the highest BR is 3.0, players are still only able to deploy the smallest caliber artillery. Honestly, I’d suggest that once entering a match with a top BR of 3.0, all players should be allowed to deploy 75mm artillery, while introducing new artillery options for BR 4.0 to 5.0.

That’s my point
At br 1 or 2 a 47mm would be perfect
And yes they should get bigger build able at guns at higher br

I could always suggest this, but it lacks a gun shield:

Gun shields block bullets but catch everything else making them as much hindrance as a help
