General info
Survivability and armour
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.

RN Geniere History
Set up in Livorno by the OTO on August 26, 1937, and completed on December 15, 1938.
On December 15, 1938, it entered service in the Regia Marina.
On entry into the war was part of the XI Squadriglia Cacciatorpediniere,, which formed together with the twin
RN Aviere, RN Artigliere and RN Camicia Nera.
In 1940, was part of several patrol, enemy search and escort operations in the Sicilian Channel, areas near Libya and Malta.
In 1941, the Geniere had its 120/15 illuminating gun replaced with a 120/50 OTO Mod.1936 gun . The original AA armament of 13.2 mm Breda MGs was replaced by 20 mm/65 Breda cannons in 6 twin emplacements.
In 1942 I participated in some escorts with other destroyers and took part in the Battaglia di mezzo Agosto.
On the night of August 11-12, 1942, during the Battaglia di mezzo Agosto, took to the sea with Divisioni incrociatori III (Trieste, Gorizia and Bolzano) and Divisioni incrociatori VII (Eugenio di Savoia, Attendolo and Montecuccoli) and 9 destroyers: the objective was to attack the British convoy "Pedestal," already decimated by attacks from aircraft, submarines and torpedo motorboats, and annihilate it; however, the Italian formation was turned back for fear of adversary attacks, but during the very navigation of return, on August 13, the submarine HMS Unbroken torpedoed and severely damaged RN Bolzano and RN Attendolo: the RN Geniere and RN Aviere took the burning RN Bolzano in tow and ran it aground near Panarea.
On March 1, 1943 was Sank from an American aerial bombardment in the harbor.
After armistice it was recovered for demolition.
In April 1944, refitted so that it could float, it was taken in tow to be towed to Taranto; during that sailing, however, the leaks reopened, the cables snapped, and the RN Geniere sank.

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 120 mm cannons split into three turrets. Geniere offers better AA option, than a regular tree destroyer, having 6 twin-barrelled 20 mm 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 manoeuvrability.
