Gud Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 After seeing the (great) unit av. chart I have questions regarding a few units: Italian tanks in Allied use - I believe Aussies used to have around 30 M11/40s at one point. These had a kangaroo painted on the side. Are/will these be icluded in CMAK ?? P26/40 - the Italian heavy tank with 75mm gun. I doubt any made it into Italian service, but there are lots of photos of these in German service. I read that many were used in southern Slovenia for anti-partisan duties. Semoventes - Germans took over production lines from italians and continued to make more of these adter 9/43. Including a variant with 75mm PaK (Semovente 75/46) Also, are any RSI units included ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I just did a quick scan and couldn't find your vehicles in the game. The only semovente I found was the M41 75/18 (as in the old Tamiya model). Maybe I just looked under the wrong dates. The number of captured vehicles in the game is rather limited, probably due to lack of disk space (the have a LOT of other vehiles in the game!). The Germans use a captured Valentine in Africa and in Italy use the late production Italian M15/42 tank (which surprisingly enough even the Italians don't get in the game!). I checked and the Australian don't seem to have the Italian M11/40 though you are correct, they supposedly took delivery of up to 50 in April 41 in time for the Tobruk fighting. Maybe that obscure fact snuck in under their radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gud Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 M15/42 and P26/40 apparently were too late to see any service in Italian army. But I have photo of M15/42 in ruins of Budapest (!), standing next to a Matilda (!!!). It seems that they were issued to SS units. I think M11/40 can be easily added to Aus TOE in a patch - BTS please fix or somefink ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I recall BFC refusing to add new vehicles in patches because of playablility issues between versions. If V1.0 doesn't have the Aussie M11/40 but V1.01 does that makes cross-platform QB games iffy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Black_Devil Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Perhaps they have changed this - if indeed this was an issue? I mean - it just seems wrong not to have both Aussie and Brit M-13/40s considering the extensive use they made of the large numbers which they had captured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gallear Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I would like to see the M11/40s in the game - should not be to hard for Battlefront to do. However, it was rather rarer than 30, I think well under 15 in the Squadron if I remember rightly. They ran on diesel fuel so were abandoned after about two months - the allies had petrol. The British at this time just did not have the tanks to supply to the Aussies and they were keen to gain experience on any tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
