    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    Another possibility is that the single Semovente 90/53 was the older prototype with new armored hood applied and assigned to 26th Panzer, but again, I have no evidence to back this up.

    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    Sadly, I haven't been able to find the statements about the bombing and the stranded Semoventi 90/53 at rome's RR junction. It was most likely deleted along with the photo. The picture of the Semovente abandoned on the side of the road between Anzio and Rome is all I have recovered. I stopped...

    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    Here's the picture. Found abandoned on the side of the road between Anzio and Rome. Photo was unpublished and posted by Vollketten on the WOT forums. Perhaps you can pm him on the Landships 2 forum for the info about the bombing and Semovente m41m trapped on flatbeds. I hope this helps. -MCP

    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    From memory, it was the Rail junction in Rome but I could be incorrect about the location. A lot has been deleted from that thread over the years , even finding the one between Alban hills and Rome is proving difficult. Hopefully the picture still exists in the old Comando Supremo forum. The...

    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    There is a photo of the Semovente 90/53 abandoned on the road between Anzio and Rome in the old comando supremo forum. It should be in a thread titled "help ID decal" or something like that. I signed in to wot forums and searched but sadly can't find the archive page. It may have been deleted...

    Semovente 76/46 and 90/53 question

    The semoventi trapped on railcars is from an archive scan from Vollketten on the WOT forums. There's many archive scan pages and not sure which one. The page # might be listed in the old article in the armor section of this forum.

    Italian soldiers and Vehicles in Video games (3rd person)

    No, it wouldn't fit into World of Tanks very well anymore. I haven't played in years but last I heard they trimmed away a lot of the underbrush necessary for tank destroyers of that type to hide in. Players dislike getting hit by vehicles they can't see. Plus, that game has moved on to more...

    CIOS report on Campini jet propulsion (1944)

    I wonder how hard it would be to build a replica? Not that I'm in a position to build one, just wondering outloud.

    Italian soldiers and Vehicles in Video games (3rd person)

    I spotted the Semovente 90/53 M41 In a strategy game called "Advanced Military Command" for the Sega Genesis (1991). It was english translated at a later date. It's a down load available on my abandon ware: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/advanced-daisenryaku-doitsu-dengeki-sakusen-8hh You...

    The Italian Army in North Africa, 1940-43: Luck Was Lacking, But Valor Was Not

    Just my guess, but it'smost likely Covid shutdown related. I know the gaming world is experiencing setbacks that won't catch up until 2023.

    Landscaping at 1mph? I wonder about the vehicles top speed? If it's not too dangerous for wear and tear, I think they should test top speed on pavement at least once and make video. ...or maybe that is the top speed.

    Ansaldo tank designs from the 30s & other heavies

    I wanted to make a quick correction to an earlier post. The 65t ton Ansaldo was originally the French Char C So the French definitely had some influence. At this stage IIRC Ansaldo helped the Russians with the engine ( electro magnetic?) then worked with them on the T39 like projects. This info...

    Tank and AfV radios

    I remember the old CS forum had the Grey Green website linked. I'll try to find that link later. http://lucafusari.altervista.org/page4/page6/RF1CA.html Sadly the downloadable manuals aren't available with the link at the bottom of the site.

    Rate the P40

    I've heard about a 75/32 APCB on another forum but no solid details.

    Rate the P40

    I'm undecided because I don't have reliable information about its ammo.
