Italian tanks
Looking for Optic patterns and information (FOV/ magnification/name of the optic)
For all WWII issue Italian vehicles but in particular these listed:
-Carro armato L6 / 40
-Carro Armato m11/39
-Carro Armato m13/40
-Semovente 75/18
-Ball mount Brenda 38 optic as well for the carros
I would appreciate any and all information relating to the optics of these vehicles even if its just the name of the optic. I accept Pms or email if anyone prefers that method of communication.

Re: Italian tanks
You can get manuals of most these vehicles in web, but i am not sure if the FOV is stated. If i am reminding right magnification is.
Re: Italian tanks
Mind giving me a hint what to search for or a link?
I found 1 manual somewhere of the M11 but there wasn't much in there about the optics not even a name.

Re: Italian tanks
British preliminary report on M13/40 - report date is Oct1943 but the tank might have been captured much earlier.

Edit and corrected:
This are the M13/40 sights:
episcope for driver: no data about it , 2 main panoramic sights in turret x1 30º , one telescopic sight for the gunner x1.25 30º, one sight for the twin machine gun casemate in the hull x1 30º.
The same is for the M 11/39 except the 2 main periscope panoramic sights in turret for M13/40 is reduced to one in M11/39. And the twin machine gun is in turret and not in casemate.
The 1x 30º is also said to be the sight of AB-40(build in low numbers) with twin machine guns.
The gun sight was set for 1200m and the machine guns for 900m.
The periscope panoramic sights can rotate 360º while the crew operating it can stay still.
