General info

Survivability and armour

This vehicle is what you would expect for an early war vehicle, the armour is easily penetrated, however, it can bounce some French shots. Usually, the enemy will attempt to shoot at the turret to disable the gun, but the gun is on the hull so you can maybe survive the first shot.

Mobility

Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability as well as the maximum speed forward and backwards.

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 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:

  • High power zoom of 8x-16.1x with the scope
  • 2 machine guns available for use
  • 39° per second machine gun turret traverse, makes for a fairly good anti-aircraft gun
  • Decent gun against the expected opponents
  • Low muzzle velocity makes for good aiming training

Cons:

  • Armament penetration stats are overall inadequate
  • 4.1 s reload time is a downgrade from the previous vehicle
  • Slow muzzle velocity needs some time to get used to (especially realistic battles)
  • Relatively underpowered engine compared to contemporaries

History

This pre-war design was intended to be the standard Italian medium tank, equipping medium tank battalions in the armoured divisions. However, the positioning of the medium-velocity 37mm main armament in a limited-traverse hull mounting was short-sighted and quickly lost favour. The tank had no radio. Only 100 were built before Italy moved on to the M13/40. Twenty-four served, in 4-tank platoons, with the Medium Special Tank Company (Compagnia Speciale Carri M) in the East African Armored Task Force in Italian East Africa until the Italians there were defeated in June 1941. Another 70 were deployed with the 1st and 2nd Medium Tank Battalions, which deployed to Libya in summer, 1940, and were all either destroyed or captured by British forces by early February 1941.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
