Tankettes - How Useful in CS?

[Kool Kat]

In addition, the Italians have a tankette with a nice AT gun on it that can take out enemy light armor, + transports and anything defenseless it can catch. They're rare though.

I've also heard, once or twice, that Italy was working on an amphibious version of one of its tankettes, but abandoned the project (perhaps due to time constraints? Or the fact that, in the deserts of North Africa, there isn't much water to cross to begin with). Would have been really cool if they made it though, because the allies have their Dukw APC's, the Germans their schwimmwagens, and the Japanese their amphibious light tanks.

Gents:

Yes indeed! :) The Italian CV-33 had several variant models... The "L3 cc" had a 20mm anti-tank rifle mounted in place of its normal MG... and the "L3 Lf" was a flamethrower tankette! :eek1: The flamethrower nozzle replaced the MG and the flame fuel was carried in an armored trailer towed by the AFV. In another version, the flame fuel was carried in a box-like storage tank above the engine compartment!! :eek1: :eek1: Can we all say... "BIG BANG" Theory here! :cheeky:

The "L3 Lf" flamethrower tankette is modeled in CS... not sure about the 20mm AT variant? :chin:
