The Folaga is a ship with extraordinary survivability, difficult to shoot down by enemy coastal ships and aircraft, the 112 crew can quickly repair the ship when it is disabled as it is difficult to do much damage to it and sink it directly, however against destroyers equipped with SAP or AP with more powerful penetrative capabilities, able to stow you easily but most of the enemies you will encounter will struggle to destroy you.

The ship's top speed of 33 km/h is not very good due to its electric motors, good acceleration and manoeuvrability, but due to the low speed, you will struggle to dodge enemy hits and torpedoes.

Main article: 100 mm/47 O.T.O. Mod. 1937 (100 mm)

The main armament of the Folaga is composed of a single 100mm/47 OTO Mod.1937 cannon placed in front, this cannon gives the Folaga the ability to damage enemy destroyers more easily thanks to its APHE and HE, capable of destroying enemy ship's components and diminishing the crew of the enemy ship, while for the anti-aircraft role, you could use the HE-FT but I don't recommend it due to the reloading and speed of the cannon to turn on itself.

Secondary armament

Turret2 x 40 mm Bofors L/60 Mark 1 gun
Ammunition4000 rounds
Belt capacity4 rounds
Fire rate156 shots/min
Main article: Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)
The secondary armament is composed of a twin 40mm Bofors L/60 positioned behind the ship, these cannons are the strong point of this ship, thanks to which you can destroy enemy boats easily and continuously damage destroy destroyers, however, if you want to use them for the anti-aircraft role you can also count on the radar in possession of the Folaga that will make it much easier to destroy enemy aircraft.

Anti-aircraft armament

2 х Turret20 mm/70 Scotti-Isotta Fraschini mod.1939 autocannon
Ammunition1500 rounds
Belt capacity12 rounds
Fire rate230 shots/min
Main article: 20 mm/70 Scotti-Isotta Fraschini mod.1939 (20 mm)
The Anti-Aircraft armament on the other hand consists of two single 20mm/70 Scotti-Isotta Fraschini Mod.1939 placed on either side of the deck, perfect for destroying boats and air targets, they have a good reload and a great ability to cause damage to light targets.

Additional armament

Setup 12 x 450 mm wet-heater torpedo S.I.170/450X5,25
Setup 26 x WBG depth charge
Setup 32 x 450 mm wet-heater torpedo S.I.170/450X5,25
6 x WBG depth charge
Main articles: S.I.170/450X5,25 (450 mm), WBG depth charge

The additional armament on the Folaga consists of two single 450mm torpedo launchers placed on the sides of the ship and six depth charge launchers also placed on the sides, the torpedoes are always good for destroying enemy destroyers while the depth charges will be difficult to use unless you are very close 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).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Excellent secondary armament
  • Effective Survivability
  • Adeguate Acceleration
  • Radar for air targets

Cons:

  • Very Slow
  • Only one cannon with a large caliber for destroying enemy destroyers

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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
