I'm one of the guys asking for authenticity and ITALIANs at the same time.
And I cant see any conflict here
Absolutely. Italy has enough units for an independent faction:
- L6/40 or Autoblinda 41 - light scout
- M14/41 or M15/42 with additional tracks armor - main tank
- P26/40 - tank battle group, can switch shells from normal to HEAT (like Easy Eight)
- Semovente da 75/18 - support self-propelled gun
- Semovente da 75/34 - the main medium AT self-propelled gun
- Semovente da 90/53 - the main heavy AT self-propelled gun, like Jackson
- Semovente da 105/25 - battle group heavy support / AT self-propelled gun
- Captured Renault R-35, Somua S35 (Carro armato S.O.M.U.A) can also be available in battle group.
Unfortunately, Japan was not even close to using tanks in battle
