- Ever heard of the L3/33? This tiny little dumb tankette was a mainstay in Italy's army in WW2... and I'm going to win the game using ONLY tankettes. Just for fun ;)

As a proud Italian American, I'll defend the Italian tankettes
1: Italy was mostly fighting Arab and Ethiopian tribesmen and the tank did that job just fine
2: They're suited to Italian terrain
3: Italy's economy had limited resources to work with, and light machine gun tanks that are cheap to manufacture are better than no tanks or only a handful of decent tanks
True, but boy did Italy lag behind with producing the semovente mediums later in the war that would have been useful to roll out faster!
Based and spaghetti pilled.
Lemme just throw in there that an LMG mounted in a vehicle or portable mount / hardmount actually becomes a heavy MG.
So the carro veloce is a tankette with a "heavy machine gun"
Edit: Some might want to call it a medium machine gun, which my definition would closer adhere to but different countries have different doctrines.
Austria, where I am from, doesn't even have the category of medium machine gun we just have light, heavy and very heavy machine guns (or super heavy machine guns, the translation get's lost in the definition) for example.
looks at Hungarian Turán I*
ha, shit tank
@@Aldrahill Italy had a trade agreement with germany where germany was supposed to supply tanks to italy which they did to an extent, giving italy tanks like the dicker max and such which werent suited to italy's mountainous terrain
The italian tankettes were basically the ww2 version of an IFV, a light armoured vehicle that is supposed to fight exclusively infantry, which is why they had flamethrowers and machine guns rather than cannons, something italy could make with its limited resources and production, but still was effective in combat, they were never supposed to fight other tanks
Duce's put on his uniform and today he means business.
That one greek song reference???!?!?!!
@@NueclearI hope so
*Ah, Ciano!*
I wonder how would italian food taste if it was grilled on heated L3 plate
17:26 - "I got all of England. Not the UK, but England."
**A horde of angry Scots and Welshmen begin furiously typing.**
I MEANT BRITAIN OH GOD PLZ SPARE ME CELTS
You know he is dedicated to the smol tonk when he makes them the garrison when nobody would have said anything if he just left it.
If I didn’t do it, I would have been cheating! I also was originally going to use the irregulars as garrison, but thought about it and was like “NO IT SAYS TABKETTE ONLY” so I suffered instead xD thanks for noticing!
Survive as historical France while only using napoleonic war divisions (yes in hoi4)
Oh god xD so much Cavalry
@@Aldrahilland artillery
I second this request
So no planes? 😂
@@SmallPotato2313Recon balloons maybe?
I'm afraid this is legally classified as heavy infantry... Considering how they have to push it.
If the germans built more panzer 4s it would change nothing, they didnt have fueld for nothing and their logistics was dogshit
True ;) It's just something I see repeated a lot
5% War contribution as Italy?
Well, that is still 5 times more than Italy did historically 😃
Hey! They… died in Italy! And started more wars! And… collapsed into civil war! They helped the allies :D
@@AldrahillThey made history as the only country in ww2 to have negative contribution!
babe wake up new italian meta just dropped
Ayyyy good suggestion! I was terrified to do this one but it actually wasn’t that bad!!
@@Aldrahill it still looked pretty awful to do but it didnt go as awful as i was hoping for haha!
L furry
Light tanks are actually OP due to their speed meaning if you ever break a unit you'll probably over run them.
Also Germany probably Sea Lion'd because you somehow managed to destroy all their fleet.
Too bad my max speed was 5.9 xD and yeah, I invested in dockyards so that must be it
Now defeat the Luftwaffe with only the Boulton Paul Defiant.
My honest reaction to L3:
You should try defending as a historical Poland, perhaps with your help they could have held the line
Really liking all your videos btw!
Yes, definitely wanna give that a try :) And thank you so much!
I wish the itallian tanks got attack bonuses in mountains
0:08 Because they didn't have supply lines for 1000 Pz4's and anyway it was in the german spirit to build bigger things,especially because Hitler wanted them,and they needed Quality to be able in they're mind to beat the russians and the allies.
0:10 hoped for a decisive battle where they would destroy so much of the US Navy that they would opt for a peace,where Japan could get the Philippines and some islands,and have free reign in the south pacific,the Kantai Kessen,was the decisive battle doctrine,and they hoped to work vs the US the same way it worked vs the russians in the russo-japanese war.
0:14 Since the italian terrain was pretty much all mountains and hills,they wanted a very mobile and small tank that could support the infantry in the mountains,since they thought they are gonna have to fight again in the Alps just like in WW1.
I have a fun idea: Japan or Netherlands bicycle only. I love the vids!
Japan bicycle only isn't really a challenge, they're mad OP.
@@FairyRat I know, but it is funny.
Why build better tanks when you can build more of then. L3 is good enough, just build more for our Duce!
4:43 By clicking "Recruit them" it will yes unlock the colonial police force but put them automatically in the occupied territories of Africa too
Well now I gotta offer a challenge.
Doing a tank only campaign….as Japan.
Jesus Christ… the agony!.. I’ll write it down
@@Aldrahill it’s gonna be fuel rationing to a whole other level.
I do like this idea :D
@@Aldrahill I actually had a different idea for it that it’s Fuel only Japan. All the divisions will need to use fuel. So motorized, SPGs, tanks etc.
I think support are fine like AA, logistics, etc. so if you think you can survive and not having to build refineries in every state.
Italy made those tanks to fight on the alps n Japan attacked the US cause they thought the US could use the Phillipines to attack Japanese supply pre sure
Fire video
Good job, AI can sealion if you just spam subs and deprive them of fuel as well. Works great with subs.
This historical units/equipment series is fantastic.
Oh damn, thank you so much! Next one is Britain in ww1 :)
I just witnessed it and I still don't believe it's possible
From what I understand, Japan attacked the US Pacific fleet based solely on the fear that America would interfere in their little Pacfiic conquest.
Later reports say it was unlikely the US would do more than just embargo Japan. Even if Japan attacked the Philippines.
It seems to be a theme with the US in World Wars. The enemy tries to take them out of the game before they even enter, solely out of the fear they may get fully involved. But that in itself causes the US to enter.
It is possible the US would've become a member of the Allied powers and joined the war some other way. Maybe Hitler would've done a Zimmerman Telegram 2.
This challenge would be interesting to see done in black ice. Lots more suffering to be had
You’d just die xD
17:39 hey! What the hell did you do to my country?! You colonize Indonesia
Funky tonk go brrrrr
play as Turkey, and reform the Ottomans using only camel divisions
OH GOD I really do wanna do ottomans at some point never actually done it because it takes so long!
1. Germany didnt have enough fuel to man more tanks, they had misconception that they could just make few better tanks and it would cover lack of fuel to burn by quantity over quality 2. Japan attacked america because us navy was policing pacific ocean and japanese empire believed their manifest destiny ichi go was to rule all of asia and as us protested china war, they were clearly enemy and had to go. 3. Italians live in mountains and only african holdings were mountainous, tanks dont go through mountains, top of it italy never really expected ww2 to go off in a way it did, they expected large european war, so they only made tankettes as token development to support infantry, only thing they didnt account for was that their infantry was dogshit too.
I also had Germany do sealion once, and i sent over my tanks to help.
Really fun video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watch potential history’s video on Italian meme tanks to actually answer your questions in the intro
So now that you've done Italy tankets only, what would Germany without tracked vehicles look like.
Surprisingly easy! Even infantry only is surprisingly strong 💪
At least "bad tank" in hoi4 add hardness/armor and maybe hard attack, unlike in tank games where they're useless due to not fighting infantry/light vehicles
Again a wonderful video❤
Thank you so much 😀 hope you like getting the vids early, trying real hard to get them out the day before :)
Hmmm.... Ethiopia would like to protest the use of infantry for this challenge.
W video, please keep doing these vids
Every week! :)
Do the Netherlands with only bicycle divisions
12:35 when Italy Regia won over the Mediterranean, it was a major upset for the British Royal Navy weww..
A world where anzio didn't cut down to 2 snacks a day XD
Dude, how did you manage that naval victory? We need these tactics :D
Don't let the design fool you, the L3 33 was the strongest tank in WW2
Secret op strats, if it wasn’t for mossolini it would’ve conquered the world Smhshakemyhead
@@Aldrahill exactly!
Germany Not Building More Pz4s Was Due To Not Having The Manpower Or Production To Compete With Both The USA And The USSR.
Even If They Just Spammed Pz4s They Wouldn't Have Had The Men To Crew That Many.
Italy Thought The Next War Would Be Like The Previous (Just Like France) But Unlike France Italy Fought In The Alps So Heavy Tanks Are A No Go And Long Story Short That Led To Italy Only Building An Actual Medium Tank Considered A Heavy By Them By 1943
0:08 coz they ran out of fuel. the tanks-useless, the luftwaffe-useless, the kriegsmarine-useless.
Germany, but only using the Maus
Try to hold France with historical templates and no extended maginot
Did u do more than one collaboration goverment mission? Because i suspect you did only one mission which gives between 30-45% and you need another mission or 2 to get near 90
What's crazy is that apparently its cheaper than the Truck in Hoi4, not realistic.
L3 on 10 br on war thunder be like :
as an australian, I'd love to see if you could prevent france from capping using australia, and to beat the axis + japanese it's australian cruiser tanks (A.C. Mk 1-4), also known as Sentinel tanks
AC.mk1's design is: 1938 hull, medium cannon 1 (or improved small cannon), radio 1, heavy machine gun, additional machine gun, sloped armour, torsion bar, cast armour, gasoline engine (historically had a topspeed of about 48km/hr but ingame whatever you want is good enough) and about 65mm of armour (again whatever you want is good enough)
AC.Mk2's design cant be replicated in hoi4 (was supposed to use existing parts to make making the mk1 easier and faster) to accomodate, can replace the cannon with a medium howitzer for extra soft attack
AC.Mk3 is the 1940 hull, medium cannon 2, radio 1(orbetter) additonal machine gun, sloped armour, torsion bar, cast armour, gasoline engine and improved armour (can make a variant with improved howitzer)
AC.Mk4 1940 hull with improved high velocity cannon, radio 1 or better, heavy machine gun, additional machine gun, sloped armour, torsion bar, cast armour, gasoline engine and as much speed and armour as you want. (historically was around 45km/hr + 65mm of armour)
Maybe Poland but only historical and presets divisions?
You should try having realistic production orders let's say with the soviets you will produce mosins instead of svt rifles or have them in smaller production
Do a campaign with only divisions that have 69 hardness
And 420 defends?
@@Aldrahill perfection
Can't wait😵
Requete only as Carlist Spain.
You can only use bob semples and/or inter war designs
Oh god bob senile only no please :(
Absolute banger. Ethiopia historical playthrough?
Thank you! Wait, historical so just hiding in London xD
Pretty much, that's why Luxembourg would be more fun huh?
@@Aldrahill hollow being moment:
HELL YEAH ITALIAN SUPREMACY
ATTACK THE D POINT
As that one mofo who can't shift production so only uses light tanks, maybe?...
I have great idea play on poland using only polish tankettes
NO NOT MORE TANKETTES
Win as Soviets with stock T-26 only.
Good suggestion!
please do a Greece world conquest, or at least defeat the major powers of the world.
Which Greece path ? :) classic Byzantium or other?
@@Aldrahill Communist would be cool but if you want a challenge, try a democratic run
Tonk.
Minute 26:10 is historically accuratte Italy in WW2
Am I the only one who can’t tell if he if British or American 😂. Anyway great video 👍
I’m British! Just a weird accent xD
@@Aldrahill as a Yorkshireman I can relate 😂 keep up the good work mate 👍
Now do Japan with only the Ha-Go
@Aldrahill play as France and win world war 2 using only char series tanks
OH GOd literally impossible xD
Nice
Shoulda made Anti air l3/33's instead of planes haha
I would've, but Italy didn't make any that were properly l3/33s, so I couldn't (:(
@@Aldrahill Fair enough woulda been silly
Why dont u just make it a larger width with motorized or mechanized
2 division world conquest
What, and copy Legitburger?!
can you beat the allies with only super heavy tanks
Super heavies are now support companies only :(
I think collabs dont work if you dont occupy the territory
DAMN that makes sense!
No you just dont get the compliance from it the surrender limit reduction still applies
I was just watching a Taureor video. I think you just need to have the majority of the war participation, but occupation points would help with war participation
Is super heavy only run as Germany plausible
Oooo… that sounds… painful ;) oh wait, super heavies are now only a support company :(
You should play with nothing else but the hearts of furries mod, there is no chsnges except for some pictures but i think its funny(and i totally dont use it regularly)
Play Cold War the Iron Curtain as North Korea and only use historical Korean war division templates to win the Korean War
Oh dear god xD
Soviet play through with only inter-war tech
Definitely wanna do that!
how about cas only, and the only division u can make is 10-width infantry
Honestly if you played as Germany or USA you’d definitely win :D
@@Aldrahill maybe try japan or china
Poland TKS only
The tankette is only useful in huge waves when they make the enemy run out of ammo and then they surrender.
play germany with bob semple only
Can you please do Historical Presets with Hungary?
Ohhhh that’s an interesting one - do you mean ww2 Hungary, or AH ww1?
@@Aldrahill i personaly think ww2 Hungary would be more intresting. But its your choice. Either way i would watch it.
@@Aldrahill If you decide to play ww2 Hungary then i recomend you play it with Extended Hungary mod. It's the most historical ww2 mod for Hungary. (In my opinion)
Soo... why you didn't puppet Yugoslavia?
Because they would have flooded my lines with yugo troops, and I wanted tankettes only!
Now use only French tanks.
Can you do historical Chinese template
Definitely! It’s on the list for a future historical divisions video :)
China but only human wave tactics
INFANTRY ONLY I like it
L3 gang rise up
What artillery? What anti air? You were supposed to use only tankettes!!😔
Oh god no support companies :( damn, good point :( sometimes I’m honestly just dumb my dude
beep beep
I’m a tank!
Italy is such a weak country in this game for a major. The dlc just adds so much problems for Italy.
That colonial police event is stupidly worded. The option you didn't pick only automatically sets your African colonies to use colonial police. You don't actually get anything from saying no like you did. It just keeps the occupation laws unchanged.
… oh xD I changed it afterwards anyhow
Hello
And a hello there to you!
Is this guy English or American and why does he keep switching accents?
English! Moved around a lot as a kid, now my accent is pure nonsense
Cant u just lose in ethiopia
But you get good stuff for winning!
Plan Z Germany no trash ships
So just tons of massive battleships? I love it
can u use some other music
Don’t like my music? :)
@@Aldrahill its fine but u use it a lor
Are you serious? You dont know why japan attacked America?
I mean like, in this reality where Japan has no allies to deal with and attacking the USA means it has to fight them on its own.
You are really quite bad for a youtuber i mean this in a friendly way lol
… yay?
