General information
Introduced in Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy", this Italian MBT is one of the staple tanks that you can add to your lineup. The key differences when compared to the C1 Ariete Preserie include better armour in the form of the unlockable WAR kit, better optics which include gen 2 commander and gunner thermals and lastly better firepower which includes the DM53 APFSDS round. It's a great MBT when used by players who can work around its weaknesses, mobility is also not bad which means you will easily be able to keep up with the majority of your teammates in battle.
