L6/40 and AT variant IMPLEMENTED

Post by BrenoHenrique »

The L6/40 was a light tank used by the Italian army from 1940 until World War II. It was designed by Ansaldo as an export product and was adopted by the Italian Army when officials learned of the project and expressed interest. It was the main tank employed by the Italian forces fighting on the Eastern Front alongside the self-propelled Semovente 47/32 cannon based on the L6/40. L6/40s were also used in the North Africa campaign. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L6/40_tank

The Semovente L. 40 da 47/32 was an Italian self-propelled gun built during World War II. It was created by mounting a Cannone da 47/32 anti-tank gun in an open-topped, box-like superstructure on a L 6/40 light tank chassis. Some were built as command tanks with a radio installed instead of the main gun. An 8 mm machine gun disguised as the 47 mm main gun was used on these versions to make them look like a regular Semovente 47/32s. About 300 Semoventi da 47/32 were built from 1941 onward. The Semovente da 47/32 was the most heavily armed Italian armoured fighting vehicle used on the Eastern Front.
