Description
The FIAT AUBL/74 is a rank IV Italian light tank
with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic". It features good mobility and a low pressure Cockerill Mk. III 90 mm gun.
General info
Survivability and armour
Armour Type:
- Rolled homogeneous armour
- Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet)
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | 8 mm (74°) Upper Glacis 8 mm (44°) Lower Glacis |
8 mm (39°) Top 8 mm (29°) Bottom |
8 mm (11°) Upper 8 mm (44°) Lower |
8 mm (86°) Rear 8 mm (90°) Front |
| Turret | 15 mm (24°) Front 8 mm (13°) Turret Cheeks 15 mm (11-51°) Gun Mantlet |
8 mm (33°) | 8 mm (11°) | 8 mm (85°) Front Glacis 8 mm (90°) Rear 8 mm (90°) Gunner Hatch |
| Cupola | 15 mm | 8 mm | ||
Notes:
- The side engine grilles are only 5 mm thick, so make sure to protect those weak points.
- There is an engine grille on the roof which is also only 5 mm thick. A weak point planes might look to take advantage of.
- This vehicle unfortunately hull breaks quite easily.
- A tightly spaced crew of three makes it easily taken out by machine guns and autocannons.

Notes:
- Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
- Rack 2 is a first stage ammo rack. It totals 12 shells and gets filled first when loading up the tank.
- This rack is also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 2 - 1.
- Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 into rack 2. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

Usage in battles
AUBL/74 is strongest in a scout and support role playing from visual or hard cover. The HEAT shell can penetrate almost any enemy but the post-penetration damage is quite weak meaning most shots on spread out crews are only disabling shots. With the vehicle's slower than average reload speed, an enemy with a high crew agility and expert qualification can get their gunner back and shoot before you reload, so it is best to aim for ammunition or take out the enemy's barrel or breech. The greater than average speed allows you to get a good over-watch position early leaving you able to scout the enemy easily and take pot shots if the opportunity arises. Playing this vehicle like an M18 Hellcat or any other fast vehicles with good post-penetration is ill-advised as you won't often be able to kill flanked enemies in one shot, leaving you open to fire.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- 90 mm HEATFS comes stock - HESH and smoke shells are unlockable later
- Rather good traverse and elevation rates allowing for quick reaction to incoming enemies
- Fast on road and medium terrain
- Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier than other light tanks
- Can repair friendly units
- Good multi-purpose tank, both for scouting, ambushing, and side shots
- Can swim!
Cons:
- Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre even at medium ranges
- Bad soft terrain speed, can barely break 25 km/h
- Very prone to being moved by both enemy units and explosions; a bomb going off nearby can flip the vehicle entirely
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
