The tank was first employed in the North African Campaign where its shortcomings quickly became apparent.
The vehicle was unreliable and cramped, and caught fire easily when hit.
Following the withdrawal of Italian forces from North Africa the M14/41 was rarely encountered, though many captured vehicles were pressed into service by British and Australian forces to fill the serious shortage of Allied tanks in 1941.
These vehicles did not remain in Allied service for long.
