Taking another look at your idea's Perdedor it seems the most pressing issue for Atlantis is to improve the Calvary units by adding armoured halftracks and additional light tanks. Recent talks with Mexico will see the resurection of the AT-31 design (Christie tank) in addition to some variants so that area is being dealt with.

Another point of interest is that it seems Atlantis has initially taken the British/American veiw on tanks, using them in a one-two punch, with the infantry tanks punching a hole in the enemy's defences and then using its faster tanks to then exploit this breach.
Little thought, at least initially, has been put into tank on tank engagements and the main tactic would seem to be avoiding the enemy's tanks and leaving them for anti-tank units. While this would be folly for the British, who acctually had 2 tank on tank engagements with Germany (historically) it would make sence for Atlantis, not having taken part in any tank on tank battles.
As a result early Atlantean tanks are not optimised to fight other tanks, but that seems to be changing with the new AT-27 Mk II's with their 57mm gun, the AT-32 1A3 with its improved 37mm gun and the current design in developement, the AT-35.

Historically the Brazilians purchased FT-17's and a few Italian tankettes. Later on M3 Stuarts, M3 Grants and M4 Shermans were purchased.

I think the 57mm is rather overkill at this point. The heaviest tank armour around is the 55mm@20° on the front of that Dutch tank. With normal AP shot you'll be able to penetrate this out to 1500m or so.
If a larger explosive shell is required use a 3" howitzer instead.

Mexico's experience might not be the best. The main tank action was a combined Horse Cavalry/Tank charge against infantry without viable anti-tank weapons. Mexico won't be using combined Infantry-Tank Tactics and will keep the Horse cavalry using mixed horse/tank units. It will probably work well in Mexico but not in other areas.Quoted
Studying the recent armored experience of the Chileans and Mexicans should help in the future decisions of the Atlantean High Command. Peru's protoblitz should also help but IMO their info in that regard should be more spotty due to my doubts German or Iberian sources will share too much info with Atlantis.
