History
The Lancia 3Ro was an Italian 4x2 heavy truck based on the earlier Lancia Ro model. The 3Ro proved itself to be a reliable design and extensively served throughout World War II, particularly during the North Africa and Sicily campaign. Much like many other Italian trucks, several 3Ro trucks were converted into makeshift SPGs by mounting the 100 mm 100/17 howitzer as well as having their top cab removed to better serve on the desert battlefield. Following the Italian armistice in 1943, the Wehrmacht ended up commandeering the vehicles of their former ally and later placed an order for more 3Ro trucks to be produced in occupied Italy in 1944. In total, around 9,490 3Ro trucks were produced by the end of the war.

How a Player can get it: This would be an event vehicle like the 15cm sIG and Alecto.
Why it should be added: most nations have their big boy HE guns, so why not give Italy one? This is a goofy vehicle that has a very exposed crew but a very good gun.
