The Italian TDs are here and the line begins at Tier 5 with the Semovente M41. It's a fairly uninspiring casement TD with fast firing, ok gun handling, meh pen, low alpha, no armor, good mobility, poor view range...
It's got decent HE rounds and ok gun depression (8 degrees). I've also discovered it's very hard to carry in - if your team isn't good, you're probably going to lose. My win rate in it so far is about 40%.
It does seem to get some favorable RNG - I hit a surprising number of snap shots and pixel shots considering the dreadful shell velocity.
Equipment
I started off running it with vents/improved rotation/improved aiming but quickly found the lack of view range to be a problem - especially when EVERYBODY is grinding Italian TDs and there aren't many scouts (and even fewer good scouts). When you struggle to deal damage AND you can't see, you're going to be 12th in XP every losing battle.
So I switched the improved rotation for binocs and had a couple good last battles before I finished unlocking the Risotto (Bassotto).
The mobility and fast-firing makes not un-fun to play...but the low alpha and other limitations mean it's not very fearsome on the battlefield.
GLHF!
