Its more unhistorical air wings havent the correct italian name or divisions are binary when historically was triangular?

Historically Italian infantry divisions were changed from triangular to binary in 1938 so Mussolini could brag about how many divisions he had. You've got it backwards.

They are concentrate for build a fun game here, not historic game.

And why are these two things mutually exclusive? It can't be fun if it's historically accurate?

Weird reasoning, amico.

This is what happen when someone exchange a game for a book and try to learn history from videogames.
Binary division happened in 1940 not 1938, was the result of the Pariani reform. Designed in 1938 but actuated in 1940.
Moreover in 1940 still not all divisions was binary but a lot still triangular.
And remained triangular for all the war.

However, the game begin in 1936 and already all divisions are binary.
This does not justify the anti-historicity, you protest for one wrong letter but not for this, is an example.

Are not, but you protest with the wrong person im not the game designer.

L8 is totally fictional tank, but plausible. Because L6 existed.
Il duce its not totally fictional, a raw project was made but never completed neither build.
