M13/40

In Game Description
The improved version of the Italian M11/39 with the turret mounted on the top (so it became turnable) an improved machine gun integrated into the main body, and a 47 mm AT gun instead of the old 37mm one. The tank was still under-armored, but its good manoeuvreability made it a commonly used light tank.

Combat effectiveness
The M13/40 tank is only marginally better than the M11/39. Its improved armour makes it imprevious to MG's (level 1 guns), which makes the tank a little tougher. However this comes with a cost of being woefully slow. The only units slower than M13/40 are towed guns and infantry, with the latter losing by just 1 point of speed. The main gun can now rotate 360 degrees, as it got relocated to the turret. Unfortunatelly the turret turns as slow as the M13/40 itself, rendering the weapon useless against faster opponents. By the time it becomes available in your vehicle pool (before mission 4) M13/40 is already obsolete, and you can probably spend the points on more useful equipment.
