Same for unit 431

86 SMV M.42 75L34, it should have narrower icon due to older chassis (1904/1905 of 75L32 would be good). Armour should be generally the same as in old 75/18 (according to Armor Photo Gallery there was 50mm solid plate in front).
According to Bellona Military Vehicle Prints 36 by Nicola Pignato, Semovente 105/25 had armour:
hull: 50 (upper, at 35 deg from vertical)/ 25 /25
superstructure: 75 / 25 /25


87 Carro M4a3 - M4A3 rather I guess. "Carro" seems redundant.

99 Sz Mortai 105 - if it is US 4.2in (107 mm) mortar, then the picture should be 555 or 8562 (picture shows a generic one, US 4.2in had square base and single support)

111 SM75 Marsupiale - photo is Hungarian one. Italian could be http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/cww2/sm75/sm75-3.jpg


147,148 Fiat 621 - produced from 1929 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_621
Sure used by the end of the war, being apparently the most popular pre-war truck.
I think it should swap icons with #70 Lancia 3Ro, which was bigger (a heavy truck)

151 SPA 35 Pratico - possibly standard icon should be green 392 (now all have 391)

169 Ansaldo SVA 5 - it seems too fast (4) - max speed around 230 km/h

170 Ansaldo A.300 - it could take more bombs (up to 191 kg in total, it could also use 25-kg ones) - now it's worse, than older SVA 5. Crew was 2.

173 IMAM Ro.37 - isn't it too fast with speed 4? (297 km/h for Ro.37 or 330 km/h for Ro.37bis)

175,176 G.50 Freccia - it seems too fast (6) - it was around 483 km/h (slower than Hurricane, which has 5) - same for MC.200 (#179,180) and D.520 (#181 - 5 in French OOB)

BTW: G.50 and MC.200 are crying for own icons, if anybody cared, who can create icons...

213-217 SM.79 Gobbo - isn't it better to call them with their official (and better sounding ) name Sparviero?
