Carro Comando M41 (IT110)
Carro Commando per reparto semovente da 75/18
The Carro Comando was created as a command vehicle for the Semovente 75/18. Like the Semovente 75/18 is based on the M13/40 or M14/41 medium tank series. The first version to see service retained the twin hull machine-guns of the tank, but later vehicles replaced this with a 13.2mm Breda modello 31 heavy machine-gun.

The fighting compartment under the turret ring was covered with four outward opening hatches. The commander had a goniometer (a direction finder incorporating a gyrocompass for establishing true north), ‘scissors’ telescope and a 1-meter rangefinder at his disposal. Maps and plotting equipment were carried in the fighting compartment as well as two radios |
|
|
Four Carro Comandos were assigned to each Semovente battalion, with one commanding each battery and two in the battalion command.
|
Later Carro Comandos were also used to command Semovente 90/53 batteries.
