| Notes | By 1942 the Italian army had come to realise that they needed a modern medium tank and this would take time to design, so they hastily adapted the M14/41 to act as an interim vehicle and this became the M15/42. It had a longer version of the 47mm gun, which could fire a variety of ammunition, including hollow charge rounds and a new petrol engine. It came too late to serve in North Africa and was only built in small numbers. |
