What’s everyones opinion on the firios its … Bad its rockets suck not a ton of penn with a ton of drop make these things extremely hard to use. Obviously armor is none existent which is hilarious. Speed is amazing this plus its tons of ammo are its only saving grace.
I think it’s a meme vehicle which, in my opinion, most event vehicles should be. Something unique but niche and not overpowered.

Yeah I don’t mind that its not strong but its pretty weak for a 7.7 vehicle. I nailed a leo 1 3 times in its front and some how came up with nothing.

no stabilizer, turns twices as slow as a M10 turret, no armor, Rockets can barely penetrate vehicles with no ERA, It takes forever to reload.
Dead on Arrival. Only good as a camp vehicle.

It’s a crap, zero penetration. I only easily destroyed the first tank in the test drive, the centurion was almost impossible even from side
Very situational meme vehicle. Would be much better if it had at least a rangefinder. Could be also a bit lower in BR imo (maybe 7.0 like Type 75).

It is not another generic MBT, which is a good thing.
I’m guessing most veteran players will use it like a more mobile BM-31-12: just sit in a spot on the map and spam rockets at points getting captured and the spawn. Restock, rinse and repeat. It can be a nuisance to an enemy team in the indirect fire role on open maps.

Lowkey unique, fun and it’s a meme race car, plus we got the Benelli decoration alongside this beauty too.
(I might have the Benelli on every single top tier Italian vehicle already)

I GEed it for my son after he unlocked a couple of stages. Apologies.

its fun, ive only played a game or two in it but it kills most vehicles I came against in a rocket or two in a side on. I played the Type 87 (P) a lot (same BR) which only really gets kills from the side, so its just a harder and less maneuverable version of that for me
Most heavy tanks seem to eat the rockets for breakfast.
I see it just as a collection vehicle that you have for fun, not one to use in combat, yes it have good armaments because of the rockets but isn’t a vehicle that you can use as a real tank in the match
keyword side on. Not a lot of tanks have 250mm of armour on their side.
I’ve been blown up by these things more times than I care to count, even on the front of a spaded Conqueror it only takes a few hits to pen and kill me (yeah I know, it’s a Conqueror). So 250mm pen seems plenty, especially when my shot goes sailing harmlessly through one, cos reasons…
My biggest bug bear with them is I never see a rocket trail so you have no idea where it’s coming from, just spam spam spam spam spam, dead.
Do ofc remember its only just been unlocked for most people, so the spam will be real for the short term. Long term I suspect limited usage, especially given Italy has a limited size player base.
So DW, it will be gone soon enough, in the mean time, get in a Fox and curb them, I have noted its a pain to knock Foxes out using this thing.
