GIS 811
Contents
Description
The Vosper 70'6", GIS 811 is a rank III Italian motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters". The Vosper 70' GIS 811 is a nimble little costal boat with highly effective armament that can easily make short work of any other coastal boats it gets its eyes on. Its one of the first boats you'll unlock when playing the Italian naval tree. Big issue is due to how the armament is placed, you need to know good map knowledge and know how to position yourself to make the most out of the vehicle. This version in game represents one of the early post war motor torpedo boats the Italian navy had put into service.
General info
Survivability and armour
The Vosper 70' GIS 811 sadly is not very armoured, although it can withstand some machine-gun fire, most naval boats you'll encounter will not need much to take you out. The boat can take some damage if you don't expose yourself entirely, which should give you enough time to either move out of the way or fire back. Enemy aircraft with cannons and bombs also will be a big problem, so try avoid getting hit by them as you dont have much armour when being attacked from the air.
Mobility
The mobility of the Vosper 70' GIS 811 is very good, although their may be some ships which will slightly be faster you have just enough to usually be in front of most of your team. With this you're able to get to positions or get out of danger when you no longer feel safe. The mobility at times can also be a bit too much and unexperienced players may crash into other ships or beach themselves, thankfully you can regulate the speed of the Vosper 70' GIS 811 if needed.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
