Semovente M40 DA 75/18

Mounting the Obice da 75/18 modello 34 mountain gun on the M13/40 chassis (later the M14/41) made the Semovente 75/18 a useful vehicle in tank versus tank action. The Semovente 75/18 proved itself against light British tanks in North Africa where it was still being used in early 1943 although their original role was as artillery support rather than as assault guns. Their rate of fire was limited by their 3 man crew and the low profile left little space for ammunition.
