Description
The CRDA 60t Convertibile, MS-473 is a rank IV Italian motor gun boat with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".
General info
Survivability and armour
Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.

Armament
Primary armament
Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Usage in battles
MS-473 unlike the MS-472 doesn't carry torpedoes which are very useful for any naval target so you'll have to watch out for enemy destroyers and ships with good survivability because your two 40mm don't kill instantly you'll need some time to destroy the enemy target in fact you'll aim to destroy more at enemy coastal ships, instead you need to start learning how to shoot at enemy aircraft being that you are only equipped with main armament then controlled by you, but it is not just the difference of the lack of torpedoes, in fact the MS-473 carries 8 B TG 100 depth charges instead of torpedoes, these charges are always useful against any enemy ship and manages to create holes in the hull of enemy ships that take a long time to be closed, this will be your only armament against ships much larger than you, in the end always try to go out suddenly and shoot at the enemy never frontal collision because if not you can not use the second 40mm in your possession, and remember to check the tide during the game because if you find it calm you will not have problems to aim at the enemy instead if it is moved it will be much more difficult and you will have to adjust your speed to be able to aim well.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Adeguate armament
- Effective speed and acceleration
Cons:
- No torpedoes
- Mediocre survivability
