The Royal Army, in the years preceding the Second World War, manifested the need to have mechanized artillery units capable of supporting the infantry and armored units.The self-propelled 75/18 was developed on the hull of the medium tank “M”, which proved to be the Italian armored vehicle most feared by the allies during the conflict.In fact, thanks to its 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate, it proved to be an effective anti-tank weapon capable of annihilating even the most powerful and heavily armored British and American tanks. During the war, however, the Royal Army requested the development of a version with increased offensive capacity.The 75/34 cannon designed for anti-tank shooting was then installed on the hull of the M42 self-propelled tank.
