Look at that vision slit. With the hatch closed, you should be able to see pretty much *nothing* when bumping around all over the terrain.

I'm glad I'm not an Italian tanker and this is 1941.

Ah! Those "magnificent men in their iron soapboxes"...:(

BTW the semovente 75/18 was the only Italian "Tank" of wich the British had really respect for as it was a very small target and its 75/18 cannon was very dangerous.:)

As for the other tanks, they were self-propelled tombs...

Carro Commando (M13/40 chassis) and Semovente da 75/18's, they are:)

  The Semovente da 75/18's were realy not all that bad, very comparable in terms of overall efectaveness to the Stug. III.

Uh..say what?

Lets see, the StuG IIIG (I assume you are comparing it to the IIIG, or did you mean any earlier variant of the StuG?) has:
better armor,
better quality of weldings and metal quality in armor,
better gun,
better ammo for that gun,
better MG's,
better manuverability,
better durability,
higher speed,
better optics,
better range,
better escape routes for crew,
better vision from inside (vision slits as well as prismas),
a radio.

The Semovente has:
...?

here some links about the semovente da 75/18 and other Italian *armor* of WWII. In fact, the semovente da 75/18 wasn't that bad, expecially due to its gun.

Ben, are you referring to the uniqe ability of the AB40 to drive in both directions (forward & backward) at all speeds, having two driving seats (one per each direction), or are you just trolling around? :rolleyes:

Rule #1 of tanking:

Don't step into a tank hold together with rivots.
