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.

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.

The Freccia P-493 is equipped with a pair of torpedoes sporting a warhead of 270kg of TNT, a maximum range of 8 km, and a speed of 81 km/h.

Usage in battles

With its powerful 40 mm cannons, the Freccia can shred most enemies boats. With its lacking armour and since the its cannon can't damage most blue water ships, it is better to stay in the coastal areas of the map. Carrying torpedoes reduces the firepower against boats, but it will make it viable to kill destroyers since the torpedoes deal decent amount of damage. Also, the 40 mm cannons have HE-VT rounds so the Freccia can kill most planes without problem. Noteworthy enemies are the Pr. 206 and its variants: MPK Pr.12412, SKR-7, and also the Saetta since those ships can deal massive amounts of damage to small boats.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Incredible firepower with 3 x 40 mm autocannons
  • Decent speed

Cons:

  • Poor survivability

History

The patrol boat P493 Freccia is the first ship of its class (MC590). It was followed by Saetta P-494 and the never completed Dardo P-495.
