Italians relly need more love. They are missing so much important stuff.

More italian stuff = better.

Unfortunately italians and their equipment arent in priority right now. Maybe in the distant future.
you could also see it this way.. italians are in the game.. why not take advantage of that and not leave them half finished.. unlike some ukko pekka bayonet, when finnish are waay off (or?). but it's your mod and you do as you wish of course.

Actually, the only thing wrong with Folgore was that it was under-armed.  It basically had the equivalent of 2 .50 cal/12.7mm MGs, except they were underpowered compared to other weapons of the same caliber.  However, those 2 MGs were centerline, so the pilots didn't have to worry about gun convergence.  Later models added a .303 cal/7.7mm MG in each wing, which added weight, but only marginally better firepower (they were obviously less powerful than the centerline 12.7mms, and had to deal with convergence, but more guns is more guns...).  Most pilots actually preferred to leave the 7.7 mm MGs out, to save on weight.
This

Folgore's where very competitive aircraft. They could keep up with allied aircraft well unto the end of war. But their Firepower was its weakness.
is this italian Machinegun in?



Shamefully it issent, but it should be. It was one of the few good Machine guns the italians had.
indeed, I sometimes fly them in IL-2 Sturmovik, they react like a 109 and I use them a lot against bombers, but usually, I get shot down

The Machi MC202 Folgore

And most unlikely the Cant Z 1007, since i haven't seen any medium bomber yet...

please, it's too big, a SM.79 Sparviero would be better, has a funny 672 x 2 kg bomblets dumped in one time

I'd love to see even a stationary version of the S18/1000 that could be placed like stationary mgs.  A deployable version would be sweet.

But ultimatly, the most pressing things for the italians would be a truck, an AT gun and a [sniper] carcano carbine (note, not a short rifle as in the mod currently).

Well after some searching on the interwebs i found this beauty

What ive learned about it is that it wasnt really used much since the scopes dated back from WW1 and where bought from the french. They only had 2000 or so back then ill try to find more info

Yeah, I posted that rifle before.  Twas a one off...IIRC the italians just never really ever used snipers in combat much.  Probably didn't have the time or money to train snipers properly.

Invasion of Italy would be a great campaign!
Italien uber alles!

For vehicles
Carro Armato P26/40,one of the Carro Veloce s,Autoblinda 41 and 43.

For RA,the Fiat CR.42 and the SM.79 would come in handy.

GOD i'd love to use some new italian weapons and that bomber looks awesome looks like a combination of Lancaster B-25 Dauntless( with the Propeller nosecone) and Junkers Ju 88

as it is now it is pretty empty and the italian forces seems like just an weak application to the axis, they were good soldiers.

btw could we make it so that the Bersaglieri is the only ones with black capercaillie feathers on their helmets.
they are an elite unit of the italian army that was formed back in 1836 and gave the allies a bit of an headache in WW2 though they used pretty much the same weapons as the rest they were actually more well equipped.
plus they had bicycles^^.

No not really

I just see this was the "real" war of the Italians...It was their plan,their design,their army and their attack so this was their own real battle(well until the Germans got bored and attacked too).Not that Africa or Defense of Italy was any less theirs but this attack was completely theirs.

you're right and it would be nice if the loading screen of the first map where they had til now classified orders or an field report in italian of what they were to do or what they had accomplished thus far abit like a A Day of Zitadelle.
and with greek and italian soldiers
and playing an nice greek or italian tune from that time.
