Vehicle History

In 1984, requirements were formed to create a new tank for the Italian Army. Multiple Italian defense companies became involved in creating this new tank, including FIAT, OTO Melara and IVECO. Developments in tank design during the OF-40 tank program and participation in the development of the Leopard 1 were used in the creation of the C1 Ariete prototype. The first batch of tanks were completed in 1988, and after a long series of tests and financial difficulties, the C1 began production in 1995. The initial plan was for 700 tanks, however only 200 were produced in total. In parallel with the base models, the PSO and WAR armor add-on kits were developed, improving the tank’s armor protection at the front and side.

To this day, the Italian Army is the only operator of the C1 Ariete tank.

Introducing the Ariete Certezza!

The Ariete Certezza is essentially a premium version of the C1 Ariete with the WAR armor add-on kit and a unique look. Coming to the game in the Hornet’s Sting major update, the pre-order pack will provide you with special pre-order bonuses, premium account days and Golden Eagles. Diving into the details!

Let’s take a closer look at the WAR armor add-on kit mentioned above. This kit provides additional protection on the turret’s cheeks, helping to resist hits from guided missiles and HEAT based shells. In terms of firepower, the Ariete Certezza features the 120 mm OTO Breda 120/44 cannon with an effective fire control system that includes a laser rangefinder and a high-res thermal imager. As for ammunition, this tank’s main round of choice is the DM53 APFSDS shell, providing excellent penetration values of just over 600 mm at 100 m.

As for the unique appearance of the Ariete Certezza, we’ve aimed to combine some of the characteristic features of tanks in this series that participated in various exercises and demonstrations. In addition to the markings on the hull and turret, this premium tank is distinguished by unique exhaust pipes that in a way are somewhat reminiscent of the ones from the Tiger tank and concertina razor wire on the lower front plate. To top it off, the Ariete Certezza has a Camouflage net modification that you can turn on or off to your liking. You’ll also be able to remove the WAR add-on armor kit, however the camouflage net will become unavailable when doing this.

That’s it for this dev blog! The Ariete Certezza can be pre-ordered starting from today and will be available with the release of the Hornet’s Sting major update. Keep an eye out for more dev blogs coming your way!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

The War kit was explicitly for additional protection from KE weapons but sure.

Asking $70 for an Ariete in its current state is bold.

Its been bug reported, its been passed to devs, and yet gaijin is just gonna pretend the war kit is 5.5 tons of nothing and try to sell the Ariete for $70 and to add insult to injury you can’t even equip the camo net if you remove the useless war kit?

The War kit includes the installation of additional plates to protect the turret and hull from direct hits with armor-piercing
APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot) projectiles and brings the weight
of the tank to 60 tons

And, unless the bug reports have finally been acted in, this will provide a whopping 400mm KE at 11.7… :/

Well that’s just a plain lie, the Ariete with WAR kit (that doesn’t seem removable) weights 59 tons with 1250 horsepower, it’s quite literally one of the slowest high tier MBTs in the game 👍
