L3/35 (IT001)

L3/35 (IT001) L3/35 (IT001)
with four L3/35 tankettes with Lanciafiamme, Solothurn and Brixia options.

The L3/35 tankette was a tiny armoured vehicle that was obsolete by the outbreak of the war. Unfortunately they made up the majority of the armour available to Italians in 1940.

"A Tankette Platoon is rated as Elite."
However, a number of field modifications were made to improve its effectiveness. Some were fitted with 20mm Solothurn anti-tank rifles to give it an anti-tank capability, while others were fitted with an externally mounted 45mm Brixia light mortar to increase its firepower against enemy defences.
L3/35 (IT001)
"The L3/35 is armed only with a Twin hull machine-gun making it the scurge of any infantry team."
L3/35 (IT001) Like any machine-gun carrier, if it targets infantry caught in the open it will cause high casualties, especially compounded by its twin machine-guns. Some L3/35 tankettes were fitted with flame-throwers and were ideal for clearing out enemy trenches.
