Units with this weapon currently has no EP Shells.
Units 483, 485, 488, AS-42 CC-47, SPA 35 AS-47 and TL-37 AS-47 can have their EP ammuniton added as service start dates are after EP introduction date (Jan42).
I got as far as unit 483 then started to rapidly lose interest. You claim this would "greatly improve Italian AT capabilities"...... really ? The HEAT pen for the 47mm gun is LESS than the AP HEAT pen for that gun so putting HEAT rounds in would degrade Italian AT capability not improve it.

I will look this over and make any corrections I agree with as time allows. The French R/H 35 etc( and many other nations that used the former French tanks ) with the 100+50 ammo loads have all been changed but the Italians have enough problems in this game without taking away moderately effective AP rounds and replacing some of them with iffy HEAT rounds with lower pen ratings

you really do not understand how this game is put together. If you did you would know that Units 591, 712 are both little tankette SP guns with their main armament deliberately put in the last weapon slot.....WHERE THERE IS NO HEAT AMMO SLOT and, once again.. the AP ammo outperforms the EP ammo anyway
