P.26/40 wasnt used before the armistice.
They were first used by the 10. and 15. Polizei-Panzer-Kompanie (Armored Police company) against Partisans. Later on the Polizei (Police) and the 24. SS-Division 'Karstjäger' used some P.26/40 against the allied forces.
RSI had 2 P.26/40 for the anti partisan tank group "Gruppo Corazzato 'M Leonessa'".
There are rumors about a combat deployment at Anzio but i cant find any source for the rumors. But when there were P.26/40 at Anzio it were presumably static bunkers/gun emplacments and not mobile tanks.

We are talking about the british 6th Armored Division or the South African 6th Armored Division ^^
Well. Basing on the british TOE there were some Fireflys.
The fact that the US forces got 12 Fireflys in 1944 is an indication for me that the Firefly was available in sufficient numbers in the italian theater of operation. The fact is that the lack of german armor didnt forced the allies to field big tank guns.
On the other side was the US army in Italy: The US 1st Armored Division was asking all the time for more 76mm gun tanks because they could deal with bunkers and emplacements far better compared to the "weak" 75mm gun.

So at the end there are some "big gun tanks".
And the Achilles was one of the tanks and with a M10 model ingame i think that there is a chance for the Achilles because it is a model variation.

Despite the Black Prince's fakeness I think it's still cool because it really does fill in a whole in most allied rosters, so big yes to the Black Prince.

The "Black Prince" doesnt fit a "whole in allied rosters". The Churchill VII could be used here. The armor was bigger compared to the Tiger and the gun is sufficient to deal with any threat in the CoH combat dimensions.

The Churchill 75NA was optimized for HE shells. The british amry replaced the 6pdr with the Sherman 75mm because the HE shells were much better and because of the small numbers of german tanks in the italian theater the british used their numbers to convert some Churchill into infantry support versions.

So the Churchill 75NA is no match to the 17pdr anti tank focused Black Prince.

Hi @ all.

The last days have shown that there is already some debate about the "historical content" of CoH 3.

I want to use the thread - and the added content - to help to work on a special source file to help to improve CoH 3.

So with the thread u will get a link to a google document where i'm trying to track down all weapons and arms of the "Italian campaign" (and perhaps Africa later on).

So here some Guidelines i want to talk about first:
1.) I'm no "professional expert" - I had studied history and military history in the past so hopefully i know what i'm talking about. But that is the reason why i would like to add as many source stuff as possible.
2.) I'm no allied expert. So i need YOUR help for the allied arms and weapons. Feel free to post any allied weapon that was used in combat with at least one combat unit that used the weapon in combat and a source for the information. Thx.

I will try to update the table section as fast as possible.

But please keep in mind. I have a regular job and i will work on it in my spare time. So please understand when i cant update the table 24/7!

With all those elements it is time for the table:

Google Table - CoH 3 Mediterranean Arsenal

Feel free to post any comment, correction, adjustment or new stuff here! Thx!

I have checked my files and to be honest i cant find any
Grant/Lee tanks in Italy nor any Cromwell or Comet tanks.
