    German opinion on Semovente 75/18

    :) It is low velocity gun, it would never be good in AT, it needs to be too close to have chances of hitting.

    Cr.42 Falco

    At squadriglia/Gruppo/Stormo level a 12.7 could be changed to a 7.7, i think both could. I don't know at what authority level that could be approved, pilots with great pull and veterans probably could.

    Cannone da 75/46 C.A. modello 34

    CK was 75/27 an WW1 gun. Note that the Italian had a very common round mod.32 that worked in most 75mm guns not sure in this one. Another point, the gun emplacements for AA it is possible not ideal for AT.
