CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,
Recent the first wave of Italian tanks hit the Super Test server.Tiers I–VII of Italian branch are made up by:post-WWI tanks (during that period, the army was still defining its priorities regarding armored vehicles); pre-WWII tanks; tanks that were designed during World War II according to updated requirements.This is a mixed branch: there are light tanks on Tiers I–III, and mediums on Tiers IV and above.
The first four Tiers are the dawn of Italy’s tank industry. Tier I is occupied by Fiat 3000 based on the French Renault FT light tank. Tier II houses the M14/41 and the L6/40. Both vehicles were mass produced and used by Italian armed forces so we couldn’t neglect any of them. The M15/42 sitting on Tier III was assembled in large amounts, too. The P26/40 medium tank (Tier IV) was the heaviest hitting tank in the Italian army during WWII, carrying thicker armor and a 75 mm cannon. The P26/40 gameplay may be called ‘transitional’ between that of the starting and mid-tier vehicles.Tier V–VII tanks are based on WWII concepts that followed the common design tendencies of the era, emphasizing protection and firepower. The P.43 rolls from mid-1940’s straight into Tier V. The P.43 bis (Tier VI) takes a big step forward with 90 mm cannon and solid frontal armor (and also with its looks, a tad futuristic for its age). It’s somewhat slow, but its successor, the P.43 ter (Tier VII) improves on that, also offering an enlarged turret, a longer barrel, and a better suspension.
We’ll drop info on top-tier ‘Italians’ later. These vehicles deserve an in-depth look: beginning with Tier VIII, tanks in the branch receive its signature ‘autoreloader’ system.This is going to be the first appearance of ‘Italians’ so their parameters are subject to change based on testing results. In addition, some of the models are not finalized and will be fully realized before release.
