M14/41 Medium Tank

Description
Although classified by the Italians as a medium tank, the Fiat M14/41 has more in common with the light tanks of the era. The M14/41 is equipped with the same 47mm gun as the Cannone da 47/32 anti-tank gun, and moderate armor. However, the M14/41 is fast and highly mobile, and costs less to field and support than similar tanks available to other factions. The tank is best used in flanking maneuvers to get around slower Allied tanks to target their side and rear armor. It is also effective against infantry, especially those not equipped with serious anti-armor weapons.

47mm Tank Gun
Nearly identical to the 47mm anti-tank, the 47mm cannon on the M14/41 has slightly less range than its less mobile cousin. The 47mm gun fires HEAT rounds that are effective against both armored and soft targets without having to change shell types. The 47mm gun receives an accuracy penalty while the M14/41 is moving, but the penalty is not as severe as other tank guns due to the weapon's lower caliber.

Breda 38 MG
The M14/41 is equipped with a Breda 38 machine gun mounted coaxial to the main 47mm gun. The Breda 38 has much less suppressive ability and a lower rate of fire than the Breda M37 HMG, but it is more damaging than the infantry-carried Breda 30 light machine gun.

Breda M37 MG
Like all tanks, the M14/41 has a turret-mounted machine gun that can be used by the commander; however, the commander is exposed when doing so and can be killed. The Breda M37 on the M14/41 is less powerful than the infantry version, but can be elevated to fire at low-flying aircraft.
