the Sahariano is aggressively unimpressive

By golly I've 7/0d in a bt7m but i can never seem to kill anything in with the sahariano. The sahariano is wide and lightly armored for its size going up agaisnt tanks it cannot reliably pen. Most of the starting italian tree is pretty poor to actually use in battle (i regularly preform better in the autoblinda 41, a reserve vehicle, than the "2.3" m1341). I love my customized l3 and the rare times i get a kill i cheer but they are pretty rare :(
