Description
Well, at last the OVA came! And it had a really juicy piece of work, too!
The duel between Carpaccio's Semovente and Caesar's StuG is a central piece of this treasure we spent months yearning for. And, along with Anzio proving itself not exactly a pushover (they gave a strong and spirited effort with what they got, and deserve some respect for it), completely repaid me for the long wait.
On a historical note, the Semovente, other than being Italy's most successful AFV in WWII (and thus the Anzio tank most deserving the single kill they got, I think), was inspired by the successful use of the StuG III in France in 1940; so, it was a battle between two tank destroyers very closely related.
It's only fitting that the duel ended in a double K.O., I think; they were pretty closely matched, with the StuG's advantage in weight being negated by the Semovente's smaller dimensions and better manoeuvrability.
We can absolutely place this duel in our collections of most awesome moments of the anime series. Whatcha think?

that kind of battle can be only seen in warthunder i think. It's becouse of driving system there. In WoT tanks can't "drift"? like a proper tanks. Anyway it's best tank fight i've seen. Got fall in love in Pepperoni XD
