With the powerful 40mm cannons, the Freccia can shred most enemies boats with its cannons, so staying in the boat areas is really recommended since the it-s cannon can't damage most blue water ships. Carrying torpedoes would reduce the firepower against boats, but it will make it viable to kill destroyers since it's torpedoes deal decent amount of damage. One strategy to achieve that is to go in reverse and deploying smoke while a destroyer is crossing near, so you can torpedo it without getting shot since the smoke will cover you. Also, since the 40mm have HE-VT it can kill most planes without problems. Noteworthy enemies are the Pr. 206 and it's other versions, MPK Pr.12412, SKR-7, and the Saetta since those ships can deal massive amounts of damage to small boats.

Usage in battles

With the powerful 40mm cannons, the Freccia can shred most enemies boats with its cannons, so staying in the boat areas is really recommended since the it-s cannon can't damage most blue water ships. Carrying torpedoes would reduce the firepower against boats, but it will make it viable to kill destroyers since it's torpedoes deal decent amount of damage. One strategy to achieve that is to go in reverse and deploying smoke while a destroyer is crossing near, so you can torpedo it without getting shot since the smoke will cover you. Also, since the 40mm have HE-VT it can kill most planes without problems. Noteworthy enemies are the Pr. 206 and it's other versions, MPK Pr.12412, SKR-7, and the Saetta since those ships can deal massive amounts of damage to small boats.
