Notes:
- The tires are 10 mm thick and the suspension rods are 1 mm thick.
- 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 modelled 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
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 mobility
- Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier than other light tanks
- Good multi-purpose tank: scouting, ambushing, flanking plus can repair friendly units
- Can swim!
Cons:
- Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre and aircraft cannons
- Bad off-road speed can barely break 25 km/h; wheeled configuration is worsened on desert and snow
- Lightweight; prone to ramming and shockwaves, a bomb going off nearby can flip the vehicle entirely
History
The AUBL/74 is built upon the FIAT 6616 chassis. Rather than equipping the standard 20mm, it could be equip with a 90mm or a 60mm HVG gun to fit the Italian army requirements. The project was a collaboration between FIAT and OTO Melara and saw extensive use for peace keeping operations.
Its engine, radiators, and transmission were separated behind a fireproof bulkhead to provide additional survivability to the crew. It also featured NBC filters and run-flat tires. Its most common variant was armed with a 20mm cannon with an optional 9M14 Malyutka ATGM.
