That isn't a defense of it, I just don't know enough about modern tanks beyond general specifics to be able to judge them effectively and would like to try to know some more information regarding this. All I could see for it that was bad was its torsion bar suspension, and its height (Which had some different sites putting conflicting stuff out there, but wikipedia's 3 meters seems unnaturally tall given that no other modern Western MBT has that sort of height).
Leclerc is better anyway. Great glory to amx-56.

They were made to try and be practical. The Italian industries were not as strong as the German and Russians. A lot of Italian tanks had a longer operational range than others.
It's not a matter of them being "designed to be forgotten." It's about them not being properly used. The L6/40 tank for example, shouldn't have been used in direct combat roles. That should have been filled by a medium tank. It was a good reconnaissance vehicle and might be able to provide infantry support, but against the T-34's and KV1's of Russia, it never stood a chance.
The Carro Armato's, right up until the P40, were more light tanks than medium.
