The current event has teased us with what would be a nice addition to our roster.
The Semovente 75/18 (pictured) was the most capable armored vehicle used by the Italians in large numbers before the armistice (the 75/32 available in Enlisted only had 20 built according to wt wiki). In total there were 483 of the 75/18, with 162 of those being built on the M41 chassis (the model available in wt). It was their first AFV that could stop the Matilda IIs + American mediums, and had a significant impact on the battlefield. Here it would get HE & HEAT shells - the one available in wt has 100mm of max penetration.
Add new semovente with HE & HEAT shells?
Fun fact, during the Tunisia campaign, The Semovente USED to have HEAT…
Devs removed them cause reasons unknown.
Even with HEAT it’s br1 worthy tho. UNLESS you want the 105/25… which would fit nicely in br2. decent gun, but slow, no turret, no mg, slow reload (10 secs)… etc.

They also teased us with a Sten Mk V…
And, I am not home right now to research… but the Bren in the image could well be a Mk III variant…

No way that semovente 105/25 fits on BR 2. It belongs to BR 3 if it were to be added because the obvious 105mm gun along with relatively thick frontal armor on the super structure which is 75mm.
The current semovente with 75mm gun, if it still had HEAT it belongs to BR 2 not because of it’s AT capability but because of it’s AP capability.
doing so would render the vehicle worthless.
Like many TDs, allies and axis ones suffer from higher br removing their use in Enlisted, with all turret tanks being more useful, and just better at everything). HEAT certainly is NOT a good enough reason to move the Semovente up.
Unless you just hate the vehicle or the faction, then by all means, suggest that.
It would still be very useful on BR 3, i think you are underestimating 105mm HE spam with ~10 secs reload speed.
As for 75mm semovente, HEAT being only slightly worse for anti-infantry purpose than dedicated HE in Enlisted IIRC. Having access to 75mm HE equivalents on BR 1 is too much and plus, even without HEAT 75mm semovente have been doing actually fine on BR 1 so there’s that.
