@@Ezekiel903 why does this feel like an american?

@@Ezekiel903 alot of countries have their weapons useless and old

@alapotamus5293That's hilarious. the M3 Sherman was a weird tank but it was very reliable mechanically. It was built off an obsolete but well tested battle platform, the M2 Medium, By the time it came off the production line the designs were quite old, but they worked. The Sherman by retaining its older technology became the most mechanically reliable tank in the war, and its boxy superstructure was partly to make it easy to open up the tank, yank its guts out and put in new parts. A desirable feature when the factories that made the things was on the other side of the world. Most European tanks of that time had no concept of ease of maintenance in their designs. The Amerricans backed by their Detroit knowhow knew how important that would be and so they put it in. As a result you could drive a Sherman all day, and go into the fight that night and expect everything to work. NO other nation can claim that in WWII

and they also played since the game's release

Ya they need to stop playing an just get the battlepass

World of tanks in a nutshell

Mama Mia !

Italians could not produce compact enough engine with 300-500 hp . And that was a core of their problems - without strong enough engine you could not mount decent gun or good enough armor. They finally solved that problem in 1943, but at that time it was too late . Reliability of Italian tanks was actually good for WW2 standards. Ariete division was highly regarded by Rommel . But the industrial base was lacking in engine production.

Oh oh spaghettioooos

@@aleksazunjic9672 Their industrial base was lacking in pretty much everything, the only part that had "some" success was their airplanes, which were pretty good, but they still didn't have enough industry to produce them in sufficient numbers.

Bruh, lmao.

Panther’s gun was already insanely good for it’s calibre due to it’s huge barrel length which gave it a very high muzzle velocity of 935m/s.At distances between 0-2000m it had better armor penetration charasteristics than Tiger I’s 88mm KwK 36 and Pershing’s 90mm M3. There is absolutely no doubt it would still outperform anything Italians had at the time no matter what calibre.

If they just started the p40 in 1939 they could have had a real chance. Very capable tank

There was a problem with this. Italy tried making powerful enough engines to move the P40s. But only made it in 1944, when Italy was already split up. So if the Italians make every model 10 years earlier, they would have delt a lot better. Also the Italian army needed much more preparation, Wich it didn't get thanks to Hitler's abitions

Italy wasn't ready for war but could expect to be pulled into it anyway. So picking the winning side was critical. Note that Mussolini waited until days after the Dunkirk evacuation with the French Army in retreat to declare war. Italy was originally in an alliance with France and UK against Germany (1935). This ended when the UK led the League of Nations to impose sanctions against Italy over the invasion of Abyssinia. And in early 1939 Mussolini was approached by the British government wanting to revive this alliance. Makes it even more of a fatal miscalculation since they had offers to join the Allies.

Finland?

@@iansneddon2956 Who knows maybe the Germans wouldn't bother crossing the Alps and Italy would have joined Switzerland's side in the war.

Italy wasn't pulled into anything. Mussolini was off starting wars long before Hitler. Mussolini invaded Ethiopia in 1935, Hitler had only just taken over Germany in 1933 and wasn't nowhere near to doing anything. If anyone got pulled into needless wars it was Hitler, having to bail out the Italians after they botched their Balkan escapades. That diversion is believed to have caused Barbarossa to be delayed by several crucial weeks, possibly changing the outcome of the war.

That would only happen if the Imperial Japanese Navy entered the Mediterranean or North Africa and decided to take some of the territory fascist Italy had. Unfortunately that was utterly impossible as long a the Royal Navy controlled the Suez and large parts of the Indian Ocean.

I feel like Japan would have the advantage

Based only on the "hard stats" for the best tanks each nation fielded and the ammunition for their guns, Japan would take the crown with the Chi-Ha Kai. It is faster with a high-velocity 47mm gun whose ammo could penetrate the Italians' M14/41s at well over one kilometer distance. That being said, both tanks were made of such low-quality steel that it would fail under sustained heavy machine gun fire such as that from a US M2 Browning or Soviet DShK.

Well, we made our tanks principally with the mindset "it must be able to sneak through thight woods and pericolously narrow mountain trails, but most importantly it must be easy to produce in a very poor and antiquated car factory", basically we said to our men "this is good for mountains and cheap, learn to squeeze in"

well their government did try to improve the equipement, but italy lacked tank experience and industry. Italy also hadn't as much steel as uk or germany. This resulted in italy prefering wooden planes for instance.

@@ahouais5620 Most of the military industrial complex was FIAT and its many subsidiaries. There was a great lack of knowledge in the design and manufacturing of engines for both aircraft and armored vehicles. Their air force also needed to to accede to the pilots still wanting open top cockpits when handed the original G.50 and Macchi C.200 designs. The smaller aircraft companies not affiliated with FIAT. Reggiane had engineers that had previously worked for Seversky (later became Republic) and were quite familiar with the P-35. If you look at the wing and tail surfaces of their aircraft (RE 2000 thru RE 2005) you will see a family resemblance to the P-35 and the P-47. Later they had to rely on licenses to build versions of the Daimler Benz water cooled aircraft. I would also include Macchi as aviation innovators from their seaplane racing experience. Yes, lack of ability to obtain metals did hinder production, but other smaller countries had good designs, like Czechoslovakia with both the 35 and 38 models that they were also selling abroad (Sweden). Why didn’t they try to adopt a Christie suspension? The Czechs and Soviets did. Many bomber aircraft had wooden wings like the CANT aircraft. If it wasn’t for Mussolini’s ego to rule the new Roman Empire and not do his attacks to gain lands that were marginally helpful at best, Italy would have survived better. A neutral Italy would have served the people better and actually help Hitler more with a more secure southern flank.

@@michaeltelson9798 i agree, and also the italian aircraft were very good, like the g56 which was better than the me109 and comparable to late fw190. The italian bomber sm79 was feared by the royal navy. The cr42 was arguiably the best biplane in WW2. I think the italian airforce did far better than the italian land army or the italian navy

@@ahouais5620 I do think that the RE 2005 might have outclassed both the G 55 and the M.C. 205. The SM79 was outdated as a level bomber as it fought in the Spanish Civil War, but as a torpedo bomber it served well. The Gloster Gladiator did some yeoman work in many theaters especially in the hands of pilots like “Pat” Pattle or against the Japanese by the Nationalist Chinese (2 America Chinese are accredited aces in it including the first Gladiator ace). The CR42 had a very limited speed ( the Gladiator as well) so at most it could only make a single pass on British bombers which sent it into night fighter and fighter bomber duty. It was past it time of efficacy.

@@michaeltelson9798 There are still some myths about the Italian military in WW2. The majority of the Italian officers gained their ranks through hard work on the frontlines, in fact field generals like Messe, Nasi, De Stefanis and others, were very capable as were the junior officers under them. The real problem were the high ranking officers, the ones appointed by Mussolini in the high commands. The "outdated WW1 era weapons" that everyone mentions, were in reality few and far between. Only some of the artillery pieces were really outdared, machine guns were mostly Breda Mod 37s while the modified Fiat-Revelli 14/35 were used as vehicle mounted weapons; the few remaining WW1 Fiat-Revelli 1914s were relegated to mainland duties as small AA guns, on coastal defence duties or placed inside the forts in the Alps. The Carcano Mod91 were instead mostly used by rear line units or in the mainland with not that many reaching the frontlines. Regarding Fiat, while they produced a big chunk of the Italian military land and air equipment it didn't have the overall monopoly of the industrial complex, with Macchi, Savoia-Marchetti, Caproni, CRDA CANT, Breda, Ansaldo and Acciaierie Terni being the rest of the major productors of vehicles and weapons used by the Army and Air Force. What hindered all these companies wasn't their own lack of inventive, but was more caused by Mussolini and the fascists' protectionist plans and lack of funding to the aviation research institutes (that can be expanded to the whole industrial complex). Onto tanks; the Czech tanks weren't that diffirent from the Italian ones, aside from their reliability of the engines, the tanks had similar weight (10-15 ton range), riveted armour, but with weaker guns. The suspensions that the LT vz 35 and LT vz 38 had, was based on the leaf spring system used by the Vickers 6-Ton, the same design adopted by the Italians for their M series, also no Czech tank used Christie suspensions. Christie suspension in fact wasn't adopted due to it being costly to produce and maintain/repair, plus taking too much space inside a tank. As for the CANT planes, being made of wood wasn't really a drawback, it made them lighter and faster and freed up metals needed for other vehicles/weapons.

Hundreds of thousands of Italians died because of the choice of Mussolini to join Hitler.

For individual tank destroyers, offensive action consists of vigorous reconnaissance to locate hostile tanks and movement to advantageous positions from which to attack the enemy by fire.
