Italian "three vehicles" pack

Any ideas what can be chosen for such pack in the Italian TT?
As most of Italian WW2 stuff (and these packs seem to be WW2 themed) is placed not higher than 5.0 (Breda 501) if we don’t take Hungarian/Romanian stuff (like Panthers) into consideration, I think it should be 3.7-4.0 pack, with North African theater customization.
First spaag, probably the most obvious choice: M42 Contraereo.
Compared to a regular one, it can get sandbags and fuel canisters, just like these M13/40:

Next vehicle would be one of my favorite ones: Semovente 90/53 M41M. Also customized in similar way.

And the last but not least, there should obviously be a tank, P40 already has “Leoncello” premium analogue, Shermans are postwar and we already have one as premium (Hybrid). Maybe a questionable choice, but I think we can take a captured T-34 here, it has a very cool unique appearance and would be new players friendly.

Another option would be Romanian/Hungarian long barreled Pz.IV, although againg premium Pz.IVG is already presented.
What do you think?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. As of hungarian vehichles, I belive we could get the following:

  1. Zrínyi 1 whiout the rocket launchers. (Now I much more would like to be a techtree, but this way it would be at least obtainable.)
  2. Turan 3 prototype without the skirts.
    As well as hungarian used german stuff
  3. Pz 4g (I believe some had the earlier gun too, which would be a streach for rank 3 but awasome in the 3.3 line-up.) As well as Pz4 H, although maybe without the sideskirts and only the rails on the hull.
  4. Later Stug 3g with the rounded mantlet and sideskirts.
  5. Hetzer
    Sadly these tanks are really hard to put in the same pack as italian vehichles, I thought the pack could be themed after the siege of Budapest but it turns out that only a few german used M15/42 and 75/18 M41 was used there which are too low in BR. (Maybe you guys have better sources on this subject.)

There are some options. Here’s a H1 tiger the Italians got. It was transferred to Sicily and Italian tank crews trained with it. Could complement it with a Hungarian captured T-34-85 or a panther. These would fit perfectly as premiums. Rare examples that fit in with ww2 and they aren’t too early tier so new players would rather grind with these. Only issue is that I can’t think of an SPAA.

A premium M42 Contraereo could be the choice. It’s 0.3 BR lower than the SPAA soviets got, which they didn’t have many options either but it is much lower BR. Optionally there could be a plane in it’s place or a tank destroyer. I genuinely couldn’t find a single other option. Italy and Hungary didn’t have much SPAA development, neither did Germany lend them anything.

A North African pack could also work as you suggested, but I would like to see these 2 so there’s finally late-war ww2 options for Italy.
