General Information
The Fiat 3000 M 1921 (Carro Armato) and was in use from 1921.

It was armed with 2 light machine guns. The Fiat 3000 was an Intalian built French Renault FT tank but was heavily modified to fit Italian build methods.

The drive was from a 50hp petrol engine through the rear drive wheels, across six return rollers to the massive front idler, then back via nine roadwheels.

The angular turret housed the machine gun.

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.

The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre, the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
