Description
A while ago on a magazine appeared some of these, which soon came to encompass all the tanks shown in the anime... minus the ones used by Anzio (quite logically, given that the OVA was still being prepared and such), therefore not being very much "complete".Recently, in a booklet those beauties appeared... the tank profiles for the three Anzio tanks. Here you go, then!
This is the third, depicting Anzio's skirmisher and raider: the Carro Veloce CV.33!

The CV.33 tankette finally gets consideration. I still don't think much of it in design or practice; Anzio Academy is making the best of a bad situation.

I agree with you, because the whole tankette concept (which didn't originate in Italy, that was just the place where they stuck so long) always proved to be completely ineffective against tanks.
Too bad for Anzio to have to deal with them. But that reflect the harsh reality in which most Italian soldiers lived in for most of the war.

The inter-war tankette design was not a bad development for an inexpensive infantry-support vehicle that could machine-gun the hell out of an infantry placement without having to worry about counter-fire from bullets and medium-caliber shell fragments. However by a year or so into the war the idea was no longer valid, and in a tank versus tank sport being a tankette crew would be a tough row to hoe. But Anzio managed to make it work somehow. I had a lot of respect for Anchovy, who did her best.

Yeah... here in Italy it was thought this was exactly what was needed for mountainous warfare, and they were also relatively cheap (but not that cheap). And around here the budget is what crippled the most efforts!
