^General Caracciolo di Feroleto (head of Inspectorate of Technical Services) supervised the design. Fifteen prototypes were ready by July 1940. The M.13/40 used a similar chassis to M.11/39 but used riveted construction for the hull and turret. It was built from armored plates bolted to a steel frame, and the armor had a tendency to crack when hit. After about 150 tanks being produced it had a radio installed and the long mudguards were cut back. Built by Ansaldo-Fossati, in action it proved to be unreliable and prone to catching fire. The 47 mm gun had a muzzle velocity of 2,060 ft/sec. First saw action on Dec. 9, 1940 at Sollum-Halfaya. In service in North Africa, Greece (with battalion of theCentauro), Yugoslavia, and Montenegro.
