[2023] Italian National Unity & Armed Forces Day: The P40 and a Decal to celebrate!

On November 4th 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in the First World War, allowing Italy to gain a number of territories and finally complete its unification which began in the mid-19th century. This date has been celebrated as the Day of National Unity and the Armed Forces of the country for more than a century, remaining a holiday under different regimes. On this day, Italian leaders lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, barracks are opened to the public and army departments hold concerts in major cities.

When: From November 3rd (12:00 GMT) until November 6th (07:00 GMT).
Where: Italy > Army > Premium vehicles.

About the tank

• The P40 “G.C. Leoncello”[wiki.warthunder.com] can reach speeds of 40 km/h forwards, is protected by decent sloped armor and is also able to pop smoke to hide from enemies. This tank can also use a selection of ammo to fire from its 75 mm gun. This includes APCBC, HEAT — which can penetrate 100 mm of armor, enough against Soviet T-34s and American Shermans — and HE. A fierce tank to be reckoned with!
