The
self propelled gun Fiat Ansaldo 75/18 M13/40 Semovente 75mm |
The only quite effective Italian armoured vehicle of WW2 was the Self propelled gun 75/18. It was not a real tank but a tank destroyer with tiny armour. It's 75mm gun was a reliable, modern weapon and was very dangerous even for the best British/Allied tanks.
