Can Italy TANKETTES ONLY Win HOI4?

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 ;)

This one... was painful. Thanks to @SeaCroissant for recommending this challenge (though I hate them for it) so why don't you go ahead and recommend one as well!?

Watch these HOI4 videos if you enjoy ISP, ISorrowProductions, AlexTheRambler, SpiffingBrit, or other great comedy HOI4 YouTubers. I'm trying my best to make content that you guys enjoy, and that I actually LIKE to make, so comments and feedback are always appreciated!

Duce's put on his uniform and today he means business.

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

17:26 - "I got all of England. Not the UK, but England."

**A horde of angry Scots and Welshmen begin furiously typing.**

I wonder how would italian food taste if it was grilled on heated L3 plate

[misterperson]

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.

Survive as historical France while only using napoleonic war divisions (yes in hoi4)

[theworkshopwhisperer.]

I'm afraid this is legally classified as heavy infantry... Considering how they have to push it.

[daninquin]

If the germans built more panzer 4s it would change nothing, they didnt have fueld for nothing and their logistics was dogshit

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.

[collin]

Now re-due this on R56 because they actually have Tankette models to use

[SeaCroissant]

babe wake up new italian meta just dropped

[peterbrown]

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.

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

[cptshelly]

This challenge would be interesting to see done in black ice. Lots more suffering to be had

[Phantlos]

0:08 coz they ran out of fuel. the tanks-useless, the luftwaffe-useless, the kriegsmarine-useless.

[tomx_pl]

You should try defending as a historical Poland, perhaps with your help they could have held the line
Really liking all your videos btw!

[dreamypizza]

I wish the itallian tanks got attack bonuses in mountains

[Electricfox]

Now defeat the Luftwaffe with only the Boulton Paul Defiant.

[thewaterlord]

Well now I gotta offer a challenge.

Doing a tank only campaign….as Japan.

Tankettes are my favourite armoured vehicle. They're stupid little things that shouldn't work but sometimes do. The Vickers VI was a classic example
