Notes:
- As they are modeled by sets of 3, shells disappear from the rack only after you've fired all shells in the set.
- To go into battle with the right side empty, load 157 (+155) shells.
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- Faster than some light tanks (eg. M2A2) on paved roads, quick to reposition
- 47mm cannon has enough penetration and explosives to frontally penetrate & one-shot most tanks (eg. M3A1, Pz.II)
- High reverse speed (-22 km/h) allows it to pull out of danger safely
- -8° gun depression plus low gun mount makes hilly terrain combat effective
- Huge ammo capacity of 300+ rounds allows prolonged battle
- Very small profile, easier to conceal
Cons:
- Extremely low survivability, anything (eg. MG bullets, shrapnels, direct hits) can destroy it easily
- Wheeled design becomes sluggish off-road
- 5-second reload is not very fast for its caliber
- Cannon cannot rotate to the rear which may be dangerous in some situations
History
The AS (Autosahariana) 42 was derived from the AB 41 armoured car. It was, however, unarmoured and did not have the rear driver position. Designed for long-range reconnaissance in North Africa, it had a cross country range of almost 500 miles (800 km). It was also known as the Camionetta Desertica (Desert Weapons Carrier) mod. 42, or "la Sahariana" (the Saharan). The main armament varied: 20 mm anti-aircraft cannons (see the AS 42 entry for details), 20 mm anti-tank rifles, and machine guns were common alternatives. For heavier firepower, some were fitted with a Breda M35 47 mm anti-tank gun, which is the variant described in this article. About 200 were built and saw service in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. After the armistice, some continued in use with Fascist Italian forces and Germany, including on the Eastern Front, and in the Ardennes in 1944-45.
Post-war, about a dozen survivors, painted amaranth red and disarmed, were used by the Polizia di Stato in Udine and Bologna.[1]
