no it's a "tromboncino cal. 30 mm" for "bertone" grenade use in ww2 by italian soldiers
Are you sure? Because every where I read that ww1 era rifle grenades were not used becuase they damaged the rifles.

i'm sure. i read this on an italian forum of weapons experts
ok, but was it common?

Hello ,

I have reinstalled FH2 recently and I am glad to see that some improvements
have been made to the Italians. I really enjoy playing maps such as Bardia and
I  managed to find the size 64 map for SP.
A Beda Fomm map exists but will not work for SP is there one for SP? It would be great to include the
Autoblinda AB 40/41 or expand the SP Maps to the Invasion Of Sicily. Also a map with Repubblica Sociale Italiana(RSI) forces in Operation Winter Storm now that would be great very few games include RSI Forces.

This is a fantastic Mod and my congratulations to all concerned. Also not
Forgetting the fans who add their own mini mods etc that really enhance
the game.

Since we haven´t the great Italien Front there´s not really space for more Italien Tanks.

several things for the german-italian army used in NA, such as the AB 41 as scoutcar, semovente 75/18, M14/41 or other things that you can used for the existing maps like Gazala =/
the early stuff is not so very important, because you haven´t big Maps for italy only for the time 40 early 41.
only the very small infantry-maps Bardia and Siege of Giarabub :(

If M13/40 and Semovente L/40 were ported from FH1, could the Semovente 75/18 be ported as well?

yeah it would be very good to have as Axis. you only have the P IV D/F1 which will be danger frontal for the Grant in 41 early 42 Maps.

List of things truly missing in FH2's Italian army

Tanks=

Carre Armato M11/39
Carre Armato M14/41 (Common in late africa, good for El alamein)

Armoured cars=
Autoblinda 41
Lince armoured car

SP Guns=
Semovente da 75/18
Semovente M 41M da 90/53

Artillery=
Brixia Model 35 (45MM high rate of fire Mortar)
Cannone da 47/32 M35 (Should be main AT gun, it wassent great but usefull against both Cruiser/light tanks and Infantery)
Cannone da 75/32 modello 37( Could be main field gun)
Cannone da 75/46 C.A. modello 34 (Dual purpose gun, not really comparable in firepower to the Flak18)
Cannone da 90/53 (The best Dual purpose gun of World war 2)

These where the common Italian equipment of WW2.
I suggested these things before, and Flippy is right. Their are higher priority things first





Anti-Aircraft guns=
Cannone-Mitragliera da 29/65 modello 35 (Breda) 20mm anti-aircraft gun,
comparable to the German Flak 38 AA gun.

I quote from Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II. PG 164, 1998.
One of the two standard Italian 20-mm AA guns was the weapon known the Italian Army was the gun mentioned above.
It was first manufactured in 1934 by the Societa Italiana Ernesto Breda of Brescia, a company that was no stranger to weapon production.

20mm Scotti or Cannone-Mitragliera da 20/77 (Scotti)
The Scotti was the other AA gun used by the Italian Army during World War II.  Also known as the Mitragliera Isotta Fraschini from the manufacturing facility where it came from.
It was initially made by Oerlikon in Switzerland.
