I was going to suggest a "community Super heavy Tank design contest" as a marketing thing to fill in the gaps. Were impracticality and 40k:esque silliness in not a liabillity but an asset.

See this. In my mod, England starts the game with a decision to either offer or repudiate the Pact. If England offers it, Mussolini has the decision to either accept it or reject it. If he accepts it, there is no war, Itay drifts to the Allies, Salasse doesn't give a speech, and even Fermi doesn't emigrate to the US.
My attempt at making an Italian Super Heavy Tank. (Just for fun). The Il Deuce.
Double barrel (on top of one another) 149mm main guns, 4 Mgs (3 at front, one at the back). A 75mm backside gun (for those pesky flanking maneuvers). And 3 anti-aircraft guns on top.

Impractical and stupid, it looks like something designed to appease a 12 year-old with an ego problem.
You have perfectly captured the spirit of Fascist Italy, well done.

What about Dynamo from "Running Man"? Sure, it's more of an armoured car, but the driver adds enough weight to qualify as a heavy.
In this depiction the tank overruns an Austrian infantry division.

That's definitely a suitable MBT for Italy in 1945.
The P.45,963/43 is powered by eight Fermi 2000 fusion reactors.
This page of the thread has been the most helpful of all. HOI players don't want rock solid strategic planning, realism and superior doctrines, outrageous impracticality is what the players want! I hope the devs look into this.

I already rallied the troops behind a "German Wunderwaffen"-DLC. With Paradox' new DLC-spam-policy I'm sure there's going to be tons of whacky stuff. The Italian DLC will have to wait though, Japanese death rays have to be published before that.
This Italian tank destroyer looks pretty cool:
According to the Wiki-entry it was a decent one:

Why think so small?
This would be a nice easter egg for Fox. "Convert to Carrier"... "Convert to amphibious BB"

But wait, (putting serious face on) wouldn't that mean the Germans need tank destroyers like the Stug added to the armour tree as another branch? Considering it was a pre-alpha screenshot, maybe the devs will add tank destroyers to the armour branch. SPGs would be allocated to an artillery tree then.
TDs are one of the variants that are represented by the four small icons in every tank tech.
I see, well, considering this TD uses a widened chassis from a M15/42 tank, it would then represent the TD of the P26/40. The M15/42's TD variant would appropriately be the Semovente 75/34.
