I can say with certainty that all production Palmaria vehicles used the 750 hp MTU MB 837 Ea-series V-8 diesel. This is clearly stated in official OTO Melara advertising, and many articles confirm it.

The MTU 1,000 hp/1,100 hp MB 837 Ka-series V-8 engine was only available later as upgrade options after OTOMATIC was introduced, since both share the same engine compartment.

Iā€™m excited to play the Palmaria artillery, but my only complaint is that it will be rank IV when it should have been at least rank V.
