Italian M14/41

[Chuck?]

The 20th Italian Armored Corp has a slot for 92 M14/41 tanks. However these tanks are never created so the slot always remains 0/92. What is going on?

[Mark Stevens]

Either:

(i) stupid omission

or (ii) carried over from an earlier version, when we found that giving the Italians this equipment made them seem too powerful vis-a-vis their actual historical performance

I'll try adding all these in, and see how powerful the unit becomes.

The Italian tanks units are weakest in the game, even weaker than Sweden or Hungary.

[Mark Stevens]

Not an excuse if we've have simply forgotten them, but weren't the Italian armoured formations pitifully ineffective wherever they fought - in the Horn, Greece and the Desert before Rommel's arrival?

Italian armor was better than the Japs' armor. And that's the only good thing I can say about it.

My kids have an old huge dryer box with wheels on it, and 'windows'. This is also more effective than Jap armor...

:laugh:

The Italian armored corp is usually low in supply with a strength of 1-2. I don't see how adding these 92 tanks will make that big of a difference. If these tanks existed historically they really should be included.

Who needs tanks in a jungle?;)
