+ | The 75/32, while not exactly ''well'' armoured, is certainly armoured enough to get the job done. It comes with a flat 50 mm plate on the front protecting the crew, tailed by a 25 mm thick plate just below it, constructed at an 80 degree angle (which provides around 70 mm of effective armour), and a 30 mm sloped plate below that, which mostly houses the transmission. The sides and rear of the tank destroyer are both 25 mm, and they both use mostly flat plates. The roof armour of the cab is 15 mm thick and flat, while the engine roof is 10 mm 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 directly behind the driver. On the other side of the tank sits the Gunner (who is also the Commander), and behind him sits the ammo. In between these crew members is the 75 mm gun, and covering them up to their 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, sacrificing itself to keep the crew alive. | ||

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 certainly armoured enough to get the job done. It comes with a flat 50 mm plate on the front protecting the crew, tailed by a 25 mm thick plate just below it, constructed at an 80 degree angle (which provides around 70 mm of effective armour), and a 30 mm sloped plate below that, which mostly houses the transmission. The sides and rear of the tank destroyer are both 25 mm, and they both use mostly flat plates. The roof armour of the cab is 15 mm thick and flat, while the engine roof is 10 mm 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 directly behind the driver. On the other side of the tank sits the Gunner (who is also the Commander), and behind him sits the ammo. In between these crew members is the 75 mm gun, and covering them up to their 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, sacrificing itself to keep the crew alive.

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.
