The Italian P40 medium is not a vehicle that I expected to be particularly amazing in War Thunder, but I was definitely incorrect. It's an all-around great tank with an insane APHE round.

Literally finished a ground arcade match in my lineup (M60A1 AOS,RISE P and T95E1) in a 9.0 match on 3-point Sinai (the one with the big desert) I captured the point in the city near my spawn and managed to kill SEVEN guys alone with my AOS,even two A1A1s. Then spawned with my RISE and killed another 4 guys,but the match was lost because even tho i mowed the enemy team and slowly crawled through their point, my team refused to advance and was slowly picked up by the campers in the open desert. What a shame

Yes and no, If you look at what the italian doctrine describes the roller of a Carro Pesante (heavy tank) as it would be more accurate to call it a medium support tank. The Italians did not see heavy tanks as heavy breakthrough vehicles but medium tanks with bigger guns. The requirements didd not require the tank to have more armour than a medium and required it to maintain the same road speed as a medium tank.

The #1 at the end of a name means that they tried to use their username but it was, supposedly, already taken. Mine was, somehow, taken already according to Gaijin and so at first the name was all screwed up in-game with a bunch of weird characters about halfway through. So I tried to use my one free name change and Gaijin decided my name was already taken... which I somehow doubt, and so they just tacked on the #1 at the end. Given my name is oddly specific and usual, I have a feeling my initial entry was actually registered correctly with their database but in-game it was all garbled... somehow? Spaghetti code go brrrrr. No idea if anything similar happened with the other players, but that's usually what the #1 is, it means they tried to take a username that was at least registered in the servers already.

Started War Thunder around a month ago and couldn’t find a tech tree that felt like it was doing what I enjoyed until I started playing the Italian one, and the P40 was super surprising. I had it in the line up as “something to use when my good tanks are dead” but found it was the one I was actually performing best with at its BR. It isn’t a beast, but it just kind of performs slightly better than expected in pretty much everything. A bit more survivable than expected, hits a bit harder than expected, can get around a bit faster than expected. I like the lil guy.

The P40's turret has 45mm+45mm armor all over the turret face, which is why it's so absurdly tanky. Also, since you played the P40, you have to play the 75/34 M43. 100mm of spaced 25+75mm armour up front at 3.3 is really OP.

If you are still curious about the #1 suffix of player nickname, that's actually some steam related naming feature to identify players with identical names AFAIK (as you might be aware of it's possible for steam users to create accounts with identical names).

Finally! I’ve enjoyed the P40 since starting the Italian tt and has always been one of my favorite vehicles It’s always fun to play Italy 3.3 and 4.7/5.3 when grinding at 10.3 Especially the TD’s and Breda 501 and 90/53

Spookston, if you like big booms take out the PV-2D in ground RB. It carries 6 MASSIVE sea mines that drop individually and has also EIGHT .50cals in the nose. It is awesome.

The P40 and their casemate TDs at the 3.0 to 3.7 range is just this insane little line up of fun hard hitting tanks with sometimes frankly comically thick armor and kinda shows that Italy knew how to build great tanks they just weren't ready when Adolf decided to kick things off early

Even the m14/41 isn't that bad when you consider it's a anti-infantry mountain tank (and has surprisingly good breakdown/repair rate. At 2nd Alamein they had the 2nd best reliability, 2nd only to the valentine and greater than the sherman)

​@@matthiuskoenig3378 more so when you consider that it's entire family are essentially pre war designs that just had to keep fighting into the war due to industrial limitations and arguably during the inter war period they were some of if not the best tanks you could ask for

I'm happy that you tried it. All the old videos about the P-40 call it a bad tank, meanwhile i was sure it was good because i suck at war thunder but i was getting kills with it, so by logic it couldn't possibly be bad.

One of the few native tanks that fought for the allied Italian army. After the armistice they were used to defend Rome I'm pretty sure and some other areas tho the defense was adhoc due to the miscommunication with the American military and fair distrust leading to the airborne drop called off
