Description

GarageImage M14-41 (47-40).jpg


The Fiat-Ansaldo M14/41 (47/40) is a premium rank II Italian medium tank with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Regia Marina". This tank is a one-off modification of the in-tree M14/41 with the 13.2mm hull-mounted coaxial machine-gun, which can be useful, but it is purely situational.

General info

Survivability and armour

The M14/41 (47/40) offers decent armour protection and survivability for a rank II tank, but it has to be played carefully. The turret can block some shells with its 45 mm front, and the mantlet can ricochet some rounds, but due to the rank increase, it will be more and more challenging to rely on your armour alone. The upper glacis can be penetrated, but some sharp angles can occasionally save you. The most obvious weak spot is the driver's vision slot and the side armour, which is only 25 mm unsloped. Spacing between the crew members will save you, but if shots penetrate, it won't be easy to recover. The driver and machine gunner sit behind the transmission, which can increase their chances of survival.

The mobility of this tank (and also the M14/41) is not great, but not terrible, either. The player won't be the first one at the capture point, but won't be the last either. There is no neutral steering, so the tank will take a moment to turn around.

Armaments

Main armament

Main article: 47/40 mod.38 (47 mm)

This tank fields a standard-issue Italian 47 mm cannon, which can be found on the non-premium M14/41 as well. As with all low to mid-tier Italian guns, this 47 mm features a good selection of shells. The APBC offers excellent penetration and after effect capabilities, which will always reward the player who can find weak spots on the enemy tanks.

The selling point of this tank is a hull-mounted 13.2 mm Breda Mod.31 heavy machine gun. While it is up in the bracket with the other high calibre machine guns, this heavy machine gun lags behind in battle conditions. It will become unusable the moment the tank loses the co-driver/radio operator. Since it is hull-mounted, its traverse and firing angles are decent, but not perfect and it can still damage open-top vehicles and pick off enemy crew members one by one.

The 8 mm Breda Mod. 38 is a standard Italian roof-mounted machine gun that acts similarly to other low calibre guns. It is useful against low flying planes and can be used to mark targets for your allies.

Usage in battles

This tank plays precisely like its in-tree brother, but it is a premium, so it will reward players who know what they are doing. The decent mobility and gun will carry you through most battles, and the armour can save you in some instances, especially if angled properly. The spaced out crew compartment will ensure your survival, and it is advised to use the 13.2 mm Breda to do some damage or knock out fences and small trees.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

M41 Carro Comando (An M41 Self-Propelled Command Tank)

Historically, this is rather a different vehicle than in-game. The only variant of the M14/41 was a command vehicle, which had its turret removed and only had a Breda mod.38 machine gun mounted as the anti-air weapon on the turret ring, while the 13.2 mm Breda machine gun was hull-mounted. These command vehicles were then added to the SPG platoons. They used RF1 CA and RF3 M2 radios to communicate with Tank Command and other units.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
