 The main armament of the Dardo is a 25 mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon. The 25 mm Oerlikon KBA was previously used in the light tank [[VBC (PT2)]] and SPAA [[SIDAM 25]] and is capable of fighting both tanks and aircraft.
+[[File:Dardo flank attack.jpg|thumb|right|Even with the basic APDS, the 25 mm is still extremely potent in close quarters]]
 In-game, this formidable gun is the second highest performing 25 mm gun. With its formidable cadence of 560 rounds per minute and a projectile that can pierce up to 92 mm of armour, the Dardo is capable of rapid and very effective attacks. It is recommended to engage enemies from the side for greater efficiency, but the enemy can be turned over by firing the gun at the tracks if necessary. As before, the gun will overheat within ~70 shots, so letting it cool down a bit between bursts is required.
 As with the VBC, it is possible to near instantly "hot switch" between belts, should one run out or be less efficient for the current target. Therefore, picking two different kinetic belts, even if one is slightly worse, is not a waste, but a genuinely life saving strategy against tanks.

-When playing the Dardo, one of the best playstyles for it is either using it as a support or as a flanker. You should attempt to always have a good line of sight where you can take enemies off guard, to maximise the effectiveness of your armaments. One example being that the Dardo at times can be used effectively in urban combat. If you pick a side street to set up, when the enemy goes past, hopefully without seeing you, you will be able to hit them in the side with either your main cannon or with your ATGM. At the start of a match it can prove to be a very effective first spawn in the hands of an experienced player, as enemy players might not expect such a vehicle to cause them troubles early during a match.

 While stock, your main way to be effective is to scout enemy players and take them out from long ranges with the use of your TOW-2 ATGM.  With TOW-2 you are easily able to take out enemies with one good placed hit, but won't always be reliable as some enemies can prove to be tough, and will be able to withstand a hit. Thankfully the Dardo has 2 launchers which mean that you can fire again in quick succession, which is hopefully enough to allow you to continue staying in the battle. Any completely disabled tank can be finished off even with the default autocannon belt - just aim for the fuel tanks (to prevent them from repairing) and then the crew. Once you research the important modifications for this vehicle (APFSDS, APDS, TOW-2B, Thermals) then you may begin to play more solo, without having to rely on your teammates too much. Such modifications allow the Dardo to really be a devastating IFV that at times the enemy team won't have a proper counter to.
@@ Line 186: / Line 184: @@
 With the TOW-2B modification unlocked, Dardo's offensive capabilities are greatly improved, as the ATGM has the ability to attack enemies from the top of their turret roof, where for most tanks the armour is at its lowest. It can also be used to easily compromise enemy sniper positions, since people hiding behind cover are no longer a threat and must seek a better position where your ATGM can't affect them. Enemy players will usually be taken off guard when presented with a TOW-2B and that can also be used as a distraction for you to push and take an enemy out when they are damaged or confused. It's also good to note that if you are playing in your support role, the Dardo's scouting ability will be extremely helpful for finishing off retreating enemies, both for you and your team.
-In terms of its main weapon, the Dardo has a 25 mm Oerlikon-Buhrle cannon, which is able to use APDS and APFSDS. Its stock round for the 25 mm cannon is not too good at dealing with enemies, but the full APDS bell is still okay for the job, as it still can overpenetrate engines of the tanks and can punch through side armour at a flat angle. Once the APFSDS round is unlocked, the Dardo can easily make short work light vehicles frontally or from the sides. Technically, the APFSDS can even destroy Chinese medium tanks through the LFP, but any other would have to be flipped or attacked from the side, so default to that instead. Due to the Dardo's poor survivability, it is best advised that you stick somewhat far away from enemies and try pick them off with your TOW-2A/B. Otherwise, do ambush tactics and stay out of sight (and try to avoid being marked on the map in AB), as at the rank you will only have 1 to 2 seconds before the enemy reacted and started firing back at you. Generally speaking, just act as if the vehicle can be killed from anywhere, by any round. The main cannon should only ever be used as a first responce when you are in immediate danger, or if an extremely good opportunity presents itself, such as when an enemy helicopter is above you, or when another enemy team ground vehicle has breached your defences but is clueless about your actual position. Use the hot-switch trick to swap over to the normal APDS if you are being hunted down and ran out of APFSDS shells.

 There are other neat additions that will greatly aid you. First is the Dardo's thermal imaging device made by Kollsman. Although only available for the gunner, it is a great asset that you'll be able to use once unlocked to easily pick out and spot enemies. In terms of defence systems, Dardo has access to smoke dischargers, which can prove to be very useful, especially when paired with a laser warning receiver, which will alert you when either an enemy ground/air vehicle is looking at you. This should apply for all game modes, but be aware that in Arcade battles the LWS only really warns you of ATGM helicopters.

-The '''Dardo''' is an infantry fighting vehicle developed for the Italian Army to give support to the infantry and APCs of which M113 and VCC-1 "Camillino" later together with the [[Freccia|VBC Freccia]] would almost completely replace the M113 and VCC-1/VCC-2, It was designed and built in Rome by the Iveco Fiat Oto Melara syndicated company, before the creation of the VCC-80 Dardo there was a need to create a multi-role platform to help the infantry the C-13 was created, but it was not accepted in service and the project was cancelled, the project continued bringing the C-13 to become larger and created the prototypes of the VCC-80 in which were used different types of armaments and other technologies, one of these prototypes was the [[VCC-80/60|VCC-80 (60)]], the union of the two companies IVECO and OTO Melara allowed to develop together the vehicle in which Oto Melara is responsible for the armament and fire control systems, while Iveco is responsible for the hull and propulsion systems. The armament of the Dardo can be different depending on the occasion, but it is very often that it uses the basic configuration equipped only with the [[Oerlikon KBA B02 (25 mm)|25 mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon]] with HITFIST tower containing 200 rounds of ready-fire ammunition, it can also be found with the anti-tank kit fitted giving the possibility of using TOW missiles, also the armament of the main turret can be changed to a [[Bushmaster 2 Mk.44 (30 mm)|30 mm Bushmaster 2 Mk.44]] (example [[VCC-80/30]]). The hull is made of welded aluminium alloy, with the addition of steel armoured plates for added protection. Four 80 mm smoke grenade launchers are installed on each side of the turret, which is designed to cover approximately 270° around the Dardo, It is powered by an Iveco turbocharged and post-cooled V6 diesel engine. In 2004, the Dardo was deployed with the Italian Army as part of the Italian contribution to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ten units were also sent to Afghanistan to reinforce Italian battle groups. Some units are also in use with the Italian contingent of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
+The '''Dardo''' is an infantry fighting vehicle developed for the Italian Army to provide support to infantry and the M113 and VCC-1 "Camillino" APCs, which it would later almost completely replace together with the [[Freccia|VBC Freccia]]. During the later stages of the Cold War, Italy had a need for a multi-role platform for infantry support; the [[C13 T90|C-13]] had been trialled, but it had not been accepted into service and the project was cancelled. New prototypes were developed from the C-13, using different types of armaments and other technologies, and a refined design known as the VCC-80 was produced in the early 1980s. It was designed and built in Rome by a consortium between IVECO and OTO Melara, in which OTO Melara was responsible for the armament and fire control systems, while IVECO was responsible for the hull and powerplant. It would be quickly picked up by the Italian army, placing a small pre-production contract in 1982, followed by a full contract for 300 vehicles in 1988 when it was designated "Dardo" (later reduced to 200 at the end of the Cold War). The final units were delivered in the early 2000s. In 2004, the Dardo was deployed with the Italian Army as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ten units were also sent to Afghanistan to reinforce Italian battle groups. Some units are also in use with the Italian contingent of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
 Introduced in [[Update "Red Skies"]], the Dardo works best as a support or flanking vehicle. It is recommended to find a location with a good overview of the battlefield and scout for enemies for your allies. The main armament is extremely effective against enemy lightly armoured vehicles, which are prevalent at this stage. Additionally, players should strive to unlock the TOW-2B anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) as soon as possible so that they can engage enemies from cover. However, the missile's effectiveness is unreliable, and it occasionally fails to damage the enemy at all.

 The Dardo had a troubled development cycle. Originally OTO Melara had initially proposed an initial variant known as the 'VCL-80', which would have shared many aspects from the C-13. It originally was supposed to feature a MILAN ATGM launcher similar to the [[M3 Bradley]] series of vehicles. The VCL-80 stayed on paper, however shortly thereafter in the early 1980s a new and refined design came out, only known as the VCC-80 (not to be confused with the production VCC-80 "Dardo"). In 1982 the Italian army would place a contract for the VCC-80, which would be produced in very small pre-production/prototype batches, and underwent a series of changes during its development cycle. The VCC-80 would be tested with a high velocity medium support gun, the same gun tested years prior on the Fiat 6616. What would actually interest the Italian army would be the version fitted with a power-operated turret, mounted with a 25 mm Oerlikon-Buhrle cannon (capable of 600 rpm, and fed with 200 ready rounds stored in the turret, with extra rounds stored inside of the hull). In addition, it was also given the ability to equip itself with TOW ATGMs.
-The general configuration of the VCC-80 would be conventional, being similar to other contemporary infantry fighting vehicles. What sets it out is the design, it being very well self proportioned and well executed. The hull as well as the turret of the VCC-80 is welded from plates of aluminium alloys (5083 and 7020 type). During its development, among the changes to the vehicle would be the fire control system, originally it had access to the Officine Galileo TURMS, present on the C1 Ariete and B1 Centauro. Eventually it was decided to use a mix, and the introduction of the Kollsman day/night sight which would be present on the the final version of the vehicle and subsequent production variants. The powerplant consists of an Iveco V6 turbo-charged after-cooled diesel, capable of 512hp (382.2 kW), coupled with an Iveco Fiat ZF type automatic transmission system with four forward/two reverse gears. The commander would be provided with six periscope sights, with 360° field of view. The cupola can be further fitted with 'JANUS' panoramic stabilized sight, although this is seen rarely. Additionally, a laser rangefinder and a thermal imager is provided for the gunner. Eventually the Italian army after extensive testing would order a grand total of 300 production units of the VCC-80 in 1988, designating it the VCC-80 "Dardo", and later downsized to 200 units due to the end of the Cold War. They'd be delivered through the following years and the final production vehicles would be delivered in the early 2000s.

 Since then, the Italian army have not upgraded the vehicle much, in 2005 TOW-2B and TOW-2A ATGMs would be ordered to up-arm both the Dardo and the A129 Mangusta, mainly done due to the old TOW variants such as I-TOW being a bit too outdated for the modern setting. They would also at one point acquire a license from Germany to produce PBM-09 25 mm APFSDS to accompany the Dardo. Dardos are currently in use inside of the majority of the 'Bersalgiere' regiments. Since then, the VCC-80 "Dardo" has partaken in pretty much every theatre of war that Italy was involved in, such as in Afghanistan, as well as Italian United Nations missions in Lebanon. In terms of upgrade programs, there was an attempt once to do such thing. During Eurostatory of 2010, an international exhibition of the defense and security sector that takes place every two years in the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition center, would have Italy present their defense vehicles and items like usual, including the Dardo. This time however would be the first time the Dardo IFV was seen in the configuration CIO presented, this specific configuration would allow the Dardo IFV to have an unmanned HITFIST-OWS (Overhead Weapon Station) 30 mm cannon, which would also be able to be paired up with 2 Spike ATGM launchers (the launcher was also capable of using Kornet and INGWE). However following in-depth studies conducted jointly by the Army and industry, the poor cost/effectiveness ratio of the vehicle modernization emerged, and therefore, in 2016, the VCC-80 "Dardo" modernization program was abandoned in favour of a new platform that can respond to the needs of the Armed Forces.

 The Dardo can be equipped with the TOW-2 and TOW-2B variants. The TOW-2 is present on the stock tank. It penetrates 800 mm and has a speed of 329 m/s, very effective against any vehicle that does not have explosive reactive armour.
-The TOW-2B is a researchable modification. Unlike the TOW-2, the 2B has the ability to detonate above the tank and direct its explosive power downwards. This allows the missile to completely destroy the tank from above ignoring all the ERA and NERA armour that a conventional ATGM would face from the front. The TOW-2B however is much slower and less penetrating than the TOW-2, penetrating 100 mm and a velocity of 309 m/s.
