The M14/41 tank is the main Italian tank you see in game, and it is alright for BR1. However, it faces some shortcomings in comparison to the Panzer 3J, most notably in armor and penetration values, which often means it doesn’t get used in favor of the German tank. To have a tank that is a bit more viable and bring more uniqueness, I present the Carro Armato M15/42. This was a continuation of the M40’s series of tanks from the M14/41, and upgraded a few aspects that would transfer quite well into game, listed below.
The engine in the M15 is better than that of the M14, having 38 km/h max speed with 185 horsepower, while the M14 has 33 km/h max speed at 160 horsepower. The armor of the tank was also upgraded for better survivability, changing the original value of the front armor from 30 millimeters thick to 50 millimeters, and also got a rearmament of the main gun. The 47 mm 47/40 mod.38 cannon was chosen to adorn the tank, with it’s APBC shell penetrating 62mms with 30 grams of explosive filler, which is a 12mm improvement from the M14’s cannon while retaining the same amount of explosive filler. This would be a nice improvement over the M14 that’s a little more competitive, although not my too much, Italy enjoyers may rejoice!

I didnt check on the Test server but Im reeeeally looking forward to have the two hull gunners added.

I as well am excited for that, I did check it out on the test server and it looks amazing, especially while you’re leaning out of the commander’s hatch and have all 4 guns fire at once, although it’s a shame the M14’s commander can’t use binoculars or personal weapons (which every tank should be able to do if you can lean out a hatch)

They should just give it HE, because if it had HEAT, it would most likely go up to BR II.

Well HE is also fine or they can give us another version of the same tank for BR II with HEAT I just need some more Italian vehicles even if they are copy of existing vehicle with some buffs.

There are a lot of models of that tank, I could start making suggestions for tanks they should add, but first they should add the Subfactions
