I already have a bunch of CV's and a bunch of Carden Lloyds from the Chinese. <br /><br />By the way when are you going to do the Chinese tanks? You know you want to figure out a Panzer I with a 20mm gun in place of an MG, plus the Carden-LloydThe Housemartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211689142165137364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468757974079920304.post-12208536368269636162019-02-01T16:46:52.987-05:002019-02-01T16:46:52.987-05:00Religiously significant Cow Guano Batman!!!!
Chec...Religiously significant Cow Guano Batman!!!!<br /><br />Check this site out!!!!<br /><br />http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/02/17/italys-workhorse-the-cv-3-series/<br /><br />Pictures of every variant. The standard "Lanciafiamme" 'torch version is of course included. The 13.2 HMG/ATR version is there as well. They made a RECOVERY vehicle (Recupero) out of a CV-33! What on EARTH could they "Recover"? They have another variant carrying the 7 meter bridge the video you linked up elsewhere showed (the 'Gettaponte' variant!). They have two different versions with a 20mm cannon, the standard Solothurn ATR, but another with the Breda 20mm auto cannon used in Regia Aeronotica fighter planes! There is even a prototype with a 47mm ATG (gun shield included) mounted on front with the entire superstructure removed. <br /><br />Any way a picture of the CV-33? with the Brixia (model 37 if memory serves) mortar attached and MG's still visible! is included. This is that 45mm either arced or direct fire grenade launcher/mortar that the Italians handed out like pez throughout the war. <br />The Housemartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211689142165137364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468757974079920304.post-4656234693242403792019-01-31T19:38:34.370-05:002019-01-31T19:38:34.370-05:00The Dutch tank was a crowd control device to keep ...The Dutch tank was a crowd control device to keep the East Indies in line. The home defense plan was to pray that neutrality worked again. The Dutch knew there was no way to stop an actual German invasion. Belgium could not save them, and no one else shared a border.

The 75mm Zrinyi never got past prototype according to my sources.<br /><br />The Breda used bog-standard rifle ammo while the Bren was provided with magazines of AP. If you can find me some indicatio that the Italians supplied AP ammo to the CV33/35 units I will be happy to upgrade.<br /><br />BTW did you see that the KNIL has some swimming tanks too? I would have thought that they would be handy in the Netherlands as flooding was one of their defensive tactics.Anton Ryzbakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844552779982758219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468757974079920304.post-36147732698993068772019-01-31T15:51:20.348-05:002019-01-31T15:51:20.348-05:00OK, but when will the Italians have these options,...OK, but when will the Italians have these options, and the 45mm grenade chucker? Oh, and when with the twin 8mm Breda's be brought up to at least equality with the magazine fed BrEn gun carrier stats? <br /><br />Oh, and I seem to recall a 75mm armed Zriny as well.
