You need to have good situational awareness and also great map knowledge to fully take advantage of its wheeled nature.

Unlocking the modules for this vehicle might be hard for less-experienced players due to the vehicles poor survivability capabilites. The Lancia 3Ro is an overall very weakly protected tank destroyer so its best if you try to keep your distance from enemy vehicles. Any machine-gun, artillery or even attacks from the air will render the Lancia 3Ro out of combat. Its also good to note that the main armament of the vehicle does not have any depression when facing directly the front so you are for the most part, presenting your vehicle either to the side or back to the enemy. This is why as previously mentioned, its best to find a good spot early in the match where you can take advantage of the good qualities of your vehicle. When it comes to other armament you have access to an 8mm Breda Mod. 38 machine gun on the front of the vehicle. Instead of using this offensively, use it more as a way to line up your shots accurately for your main gun. You could also use the machine gun to spot enemy players and mark them on the map for you team to take out. It is your only line of defence when your main armament is loading so keep that in mind when playing the Lancia 3Ro. If you are spotted, make sure you keep in mind that the vehicle has a poor turning circle, so when you are in your position make sure you keep in mind exit points in case you are spotted and have to retreat or move to another position. Overall, the Lancia 3Ro can be quite deadly and dangerous to the enemy team if used right, dont rely on your armour and players should be fine with it. |

Description
The 100/17 su Lancia 3Ro is a rank I Italian tank destroyer with a battle rating of 2.0 (AB) and 1.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Danger Zone".
General info
Survivability and armour
This truck has basically no armour, this is its greatest weak point. The crew can be knocked out even by rifle-calibre machine guns because it is exposed. The truck is quite big so it's an easy target to planes too.
Armour type:
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | ___ mm | ___ mm Top ___ mm Bottom |
___ mm | ___ - ___ mm |
| Turret | ___ - ___ mm Turret front ___ mm Gun mantlet |
___ - ___ mm | ___ - ___ mm | ___ - ___ mm |
| Cupola | ___ mm | ___ mm | ___ mm | ___ mm |
Notes:
Mobility
The truck itself is quite light and its mobility allows it to reach good spots in battle. The turning circle of the truck is big so it's not easy and fast to turn around in confined spaces.

Armaments
Main armament
The 100 mm Cannone da 100/17 Mod. 1914 has a long reload time. It has decent penetration for its BR but it's not that impressive either. The gun traverse is slow. The gun has no depression at front of the truck because of the cabin. Post-penetration damage is good. It usually knocks out opponents with a single shot, but not always.

Machine guns
There is a 8 mm Breda Mod. 38 machine gun on the front of the vehicle. Since it can give away your position, it is best to use it as a last resort weapon. Otherwise, you can use it against low-flying aircraft.

Usage in battles
The best way to play the Lancia 3Ro (100/17) is to use it as a flanker and suprise attack vehicle. Due to the vehicle being wheeled, it is able to reach spots at the start of the match that many vehicles on the enemy team will not expect you from. You need to have good situational awareness and also great map knowledge to fully take advantage of its wheeled nature. Finding a powerful spot to wait out enemies can prove to be quite effective in the hands of an experienced player. Unlocking the modules for this vehicle might be hard for less-experienced players due to the vehicles poor survivability capabilites. The Lancia 3Ro is an overall very weakly protected tank destroyer so its best if you try to keep your distance from enemy vehicles. Any machine-gun, artillery or even attacks from the air will render the Lancia 3Ro out of combat. Its also good to note that the main armament of the vehicle does not have any depression when facing directly the front so you are for the most part, presenting your vehicle either to the side or back to the enemy. This is why as previously mentioned, its best to find a good spot early in the match where you can take advantage of the good qualities of your vehicle. When it comes to other armament you have access to an 8mm Breda Mod. 38 machine gun on the front of the vehicle. Instead of using this offensively, use it more as a way to line up your shots accurately for your main gun. You could also use the machine gun to spot enemy players and mark them on the map for you team to take out. It is your only line of defence when your main armament is loading so keep that in mind when playing the Lancia 3Ro. If you are spotted, make sure you keep in mind that the vehicle has a poor turning circle, so when you are in your position make sure you keep in mind exit points in case you are spotted and have to retreat or move to another position. Overall, the Lancia 3Ro can be quite deadly and dangerous to the enemy team if used right, dont rely on your armour and players should be fine with it.

History
The story of the Lancia 3Ro began during the mid-1930s Vincenzo Lancia started producing Ro trucks using Junkers diesel 2-cylinder 3.2L engines. In October 1937, the new 3Ro was introduced with a civilian variant (Serie 464) and a military variant (Serie 564). Deliveries began in the years of 1938.
