The  Sparviero's 10 crew is protected by 8 mm of armor around the hull, and 3 mm of armor around the superstructure. This lackluster armor isn't substantial enough to protect the ship from constant damage from machine guns or auto cannons. The gun in particular is extremely easy to disable thanks to its size and position on the ship The Sparviero has the best chance for survival when it is on a flanking rout using its high speed to avoid frontal engagements. The gunboat also lacks anti aircraft guns controlled by AI to defend against planes, but that can be countered y loading the variable time shell and shooting manually at aircraft.

The Spaviero is one of the few ships equipped with a hydrofoil, allowing the gun boat to reach a high speed of 93 km/h when raised out of the water, but while out of the water the ship becomes difficult to maneuver in tight environments. In contrast the Spaviero can only move 20 km/h in reverse, but the hull will remain in the water. While the ships hull is submerged the hydrofoils pose a risk of ramming parts of the environment, such as reefs and land under shallow water, so it recommended to learn what positions might pose a threat to beaching the boat.

Sparviero is equipped with the amazing 76 mm/62 OTO-Melara Compact automatic gun in a single turret on the bow of the boat right before the bridge. The 76 mm gun comes stocked with HE-MOM, SAPOM, and HE_MOM with a variable time fuze. both HE_MOM shells have 15 mm of pen at any range with an explosive mass of 750 g, while the SAPOM can pen 60 mm at a range of 100m with an explosive mass of 455 g. the beast loadout for the Sparviero is half a loadout (or more) or SAPOM, while the rest is dedicated to HE-MOM with variable time fuze. Both HE shells do the same damage towards ships, so it is more desirable to bring the more versatile shell that can also be used against aircraft.

being one of the fastest boats in naval forces, the Spaviero excels in rushing advantageous positions to defend capture points, and flank enemy routes. The gunboat shouldn't be used for contesting points directly due to its weak crew size, and protection unless the area has already been cleared. the largest threat to the Sparviero are similar hydrofoils and faster patrol boats such as the PG02, and the PT 811 which can contest the Sparviero from reaching flanking spots.using their superior speed and firepower. Similarly tiered destroyers such as the Clemson also pose a threat because there main armament can hull break the smaller gunboat.

The Sparviero-class, Sparviero (P 420) is a premium gift rank IV Italian motor gun boat with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".

General info

Survivability and armour

The Sparviero's 10 crew is protected by 8 mm of armor around the hull, and 3 mm of armor around the superstructure. This lackluster armor isn't substantial enough to protect the ship from constant damage from machine guns or auto cannons. The gun in particular is extremely easy to disable thanks to its size and position on the ship The Sparviero has the best chance for survival when it is on a flanking rout using its high speed to avoid frontal engagements. The gunboat also lacks anti aircraft guns controlled by AI to defend against planes, but that can be countered y loading the variable time shell and shooting manually at aircraft.

Mobility

The Spaviero is one of the few ships equipped with a hydrofoil, allowing the gun boat to reach a high speed of 93 km/h when raised out of the water, but while out of the water the ship becomes difficult to maneuver in tight environments. In contrast the Spaviero can only move 20 km/h in reverse, but the hull will remain in the water. While the ships hull is submerged the hydrofoils pose a risk of ramming parts of the environment, such as reefs and land under shallow water, so it recommended to learn what positions might pose a threat to beaching the boat.

Armament

Primary armament

Main article: 76 mm/62 OTO-Melara Compact (76 mm)

Sparviero is equipped with the amazing 76 mm/62 OTO-Melara Compact automatic gun in a single turret on the bow of the boat right before the bridge. The 76 mm gun comes stocked with HE-MOM, SAPOM, and HE_MOM with a variable time fuze. both HE_MOM shells have 15 mm of pen at any range with an explosive mass of 750 g, while the SAPOM can pen 60 mm at a range of 100m with an explosive mass of 455 g. the beast loadout for the Sparviero is half a loadout (or more) or SAPOM, while the rest is dedicated to HE-MOM with variable time fuze. Both HE shells do the same damage towards ships, so it is more desirable to bring the more versatile shell that can also be used against aircraft.

Usage in battles

being one of the fastest boats in naval forces, the Spaviero excels in rushing advantageous positions to defend capture points, and flank enemy routes. The gunboat shouldn't be used for contesting points directly due to its weak crew size, and protection unless the area has already been cleared. the largest threat to the Sparviero are similar hydrofoils and faster patrol boats such as the PG02, and the PT 811 which can contest the Sparviero from reaching flanking spots.using their superior speed and firepower. Similarly tiered destroyers such as the Clemson also pose a threat because there main armament can hull break the smaller gunboat.
