"I came, I saw, I conquered" Written in a report to Rome 47 B.C., after conquering Pharnaces at Zela in Asia Minor in just five days; as quoted in Life of Caesar by Plutarch; reported to have been inscribed on one of the decorated wagons in the Pontic triumph, in Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Julius, by Suetonius. "Alea iacta est" Gaius Julius Caesar.
The designation means: P for pesante (Italian: "heavy"), the weight of 26 tonnes, and the year of adoption: 1940.[2] Though physically a medium tank in size, weight, armor, and armament, it was classified as a heavy tank by the Italian military in reflection of its intended support of smaller tanks on the battlefield.
Design had started in 1940 but very few had been built by the time Italy signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1943 and the few produced afterwards were used by the Germans.

It was a self-propelled artillery, not a heavy tank.

The Italians used it as tanks in various operations.

The Semovente da 149/40 was an Italian self-propelled artillery piece. Only a single unit was built; this vehicle is displayed at the US Army Ordnance Museum,Aberdeen, Maryland.

The Italian Army was not far behind the Germans in realizing the need for assault guns and developed a string of vehicles that outwardly resembled the StuG III. These Italian assault guns were produced in appreciable numbers for they were better armoured and quicker to produce than the contemporary Italian tanks. English Wikipedia.

I see you didn't check the link I provided, also from the English Wikipedia. Assault guns is something in general but they produced just 1 Semovente da 149/40.

It is possible that they just manufactured a weapon of this type, but it could be added to the game.
