Description
The Semovente 75/32 M41 is a rank II Italian tank destroyer
with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic".
General info
Survivability and armour
The 75/32, while not exactly well armoured, is centainly armoured enough to get the job done. It comes with a flat 50mm plate on the front protecting the crew, tailed by a 25mm thick plate just below it, constructed at an 80 degree angle (which provides around 70mm of effective armour), and a 30mm sloped plate below that, which mostly houses the transmission. The sides and rear of the tank destroyer are both 25mm, and they both use mostly flat plates. The roof armour of the cab is 15mm thick, and flat, and the engine roof is 10mm but slightly angled. Take note of the roof thicknesses because the 75/32 is often targeted by American CAS with .50s, who will often either attempt to kill the crew or at the very least kill the engine. Two crew members; the Driver and the Loader, sit on the left side of the tank, with the loader positioned right behind the driver. On the other side of the tank sits the Gunner (who is also the Commander), and behind him sits the ammo. Inbetween these crew members is the 75mm gun, and covering them up to thier knees is the transmission. The spaced out crew means that if the Gunner is killed there is a good chance the Loader and Driver will survive, however, if the Loader and Driver are hit, they will likely die together, killing the tank instantly. The transmission can act as an odd shield and can occasionally eat a stray round or two and sacrifice itself to keep the crew alive.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Low profile
- Decent 75 mm gun
- Has access to HEAT rounds
Cons:
- Overall armour is not very good
- Thin top armour; can be vulnerable to strafing aircraft
- Acceleration and speed leaves things to be desired
- Slower reload than other 75 mm italian SPG
History
About 25 Semoventi 75/18s were re-equipped in mid-1943 with the improved 75/32 field gun, which had a longer barrel, increased muzzle velocity and range compared to the 75/18 howitzer. Some of these saw combat with the 135th "Ariete II" Armored Division around Rome in September 1943. A number were confiscated by Germany on Italy's surrender and turned over to Fascist Italian forces.
