General info
Survivability and armour
The RN Dardo is as well defended and durable as its predecessor, the RN Turbine. Her superstructure is lined with 4 mm steel, which in combination with the 16 mm hull provides the RN Dardo with excellent resistance to encounters with up to 152 mm. Her low-profile hull provides the ship with good survivability; she is also well protected below sea level. The RN Dardo offers enough space for a complement of 185 sailors. The crew is well distributed throughout the ship evenly. A well distributed crew is very helpful in repairing damage, putting out fires quickly and effectively. At its Battle Rating the RN Dardo ranks second in crew, ahead of the German Type 1939 with 205 members, but the RN Dardo significantly outperforms it in survivability and armor.
Mobility
With its two powerful turbines, the RN Dardo can deliver a power output of 6000 Hp and a top speed of 70 km/h (37 knots) forward and -27 km/h (-14 knots) backward, with her Insert name of manufacturer for the boilers, boilers. The rudder turns from one end to the other in 7.5 seconds and the ship can make a U-turn in 40 seconds.

Armament
Primary armament
The primary offensive armament was developed in the mid-twenties by Ansaldo as the primary weapon for the destroyers of the Regia Marina, a cannon derived from the 120/50 Mod. 1909 cannon, a version produced under license from the English pieces Armstrong and Vickers, which equipped the battleships Dante Alighieri class and Conte di Cavour class and the explorers Quarto and Marsala. Ansaldo and Odero-Terni-Orlando (OTO) produced several ships armed with this cannon. Cannon that was also equipped on the Conte di Cavour class battleships (after their reconstruction) as secondary anti-torpedo armament and on several classes of destroyers as primary armament until the Second World War. Each barrel is made of steel and the core has 36 right-hand lines. The bolt is side-locking. Each muzzle has two firing brakes, positioned inferiorly. The cradle, single or twin, is encased on a platform mount, equipped with shield or full turret. On single installations the elevation and swinging manoeuvres were manual, while twin installations were equipped with an electric system.
Ammunition was separate, with pouch cartridge. The 120/50 projectile weighed about 23 kg and was available in armor-piercing (AP), explosive (HE), incendiary and illuminating versions. In game the ship as a projectile could carry APHE, HE, HE-TF. The APHE of the RN Dardo have a penetration of 154 mm with an explosive mass of 1.3 kg, the HE can penetrate 21 mm and have 1.63 kg of explosive. The RN Dardo also has HE-TFs that are very effective against aerial targets. At the RN Dardo's battle rating no ship has APHEs as a main armament projectile, which makes this ship unique.
Secondary armament
The 40mm/39 Vickers-Terni mod.1915/1917, Modif.1930 was first introduced into the Royal Navy in March 1915 as a large caliber Anti-Air MG. Britain produced a total of 795 guns of which 577 were still available in 1939. The original Mark II design was quite prone to many defects and the Mark II* was a modified version that improved reliability. Stoppages and jams were still common in these models as bullets slipped out of their mounts and the fabric belts often stretched and tore. The Mark II*C was a further modification that used a 14-shot steel-link belt instead of the fabric belt.About 50 of these rifles were sold to the Italian Navy. They were then manufactured under license by Terni (Italy) until the early 1930s. The Terni version used a 50-round ammunition box. The 40 mm have a very important task in the match, they are capable of neutralizing any aircraft within a 4 km radius, and can give good suppressive fire in support of the main armament.
Anti-aircraft armament
The Breda Mod. 31 is an automatic firearm which is gas-operated and along with a fixed barrel. The firing takes place with the bolt open. The cooling is by air through the sleeve with fins along the entire barrel. The weapon is fed through semi-curved 30-round magazines. The Regia Marina used it on almost all its units. The single system, with a fork shaped barrel on a tripod support of 87 kg, was installed on MAS. The twin rigs were essentially of two types: on the larger units a tied-rod rig was used, operated by a single pointer with a seat offset to the right of the barrels; this type of rig was (partially) replaced in 1936 by the twin rig of 20/65 Mod. 1935. On the Regi Submarines, a particular type of concealed twin-mounted system was used, which during navigation was lowered into a watertight compartment. The land version armed the M41 and M42 self-propelled control tanks and the prototype of the Ansaldo L40 troop transport vehicle, installed in a casemate on a sphere armored car. The RN Dardo is equipped with 2 twin turrets of Breda Mod. 31, and are positioned high up just behind the command bridge in the central position of the ship. In play they have an effective range of about 1500 meters and a maximum range of 2 km.
Additional armament
The RN Dardo's auxiliary armament consists of two trine torpedo launchers positioned in the center of the ship. This excellent central placement offers a view of more than 180 degrees on both sides of the vessel. The torpedo can navigate for four kilometers at a speed of 89 km/h, all this without the modification equipped, with the addition of the modification the torpedo loses 19 kilometers per hour of speed but gains 6000 meters of additional radius. If the torpedo were to hit an enemy ship it would unload 270 kg of explosives, causing catastrophic damage to the enemy ship.
Usage in battles
Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship 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 ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-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 ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
