Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

History

One of twelve fleet destroyers laid down at Livorno by OTO in 1936, the Soldati class were a further development of the Maestrale and Oriani classes of 1934/36. Completed in 1938-39, the Soldati boats had improved machinery over the Oriani class, with 2 shaft Beluzzo geared turbines. In 1941, Geniere had 12 cm/50 guns added in place of the original 12 cm/15. Original AA armament of 13.2 mm MG was replaced by 2 cm cannons in 6 dual-mounted stations. Initially 2 depth charge throwers were installed but this was later increased to 4. 2 of the class were fitted with Gufo radar, while one was equipped with German radar.

Geniere was sunk in drydock by a bomb in Palermo harbour in 1943.

Devblog

Geniere was laid down as part of the first series of Soldati-class destroyers for the Regia Marina. Geniere comes to War Thunder naval forces in one of its later war modifications, specifically in the 1942 fit. The ship features five 120mm cannons split into three turrets. Geniere offers better AA option, than a regular tree destroyer, having 6 twin-barrelled 20mm Breda autocannons, rationally positioned over her deck. It’s also worth mentioning that Geniere comes with two triple torpedo launchers, which make her combat application more versatile. As all Soldati destroyers, Geniere boasts an excellent top speed going up to 35 knots (65 km/h), as well as great maneuverability.
