 This gun truck is a heavy 4×2 Lancia mounting the Obice da 100/17 model 1916 or Obice da 100/17 model 1914 howitzers. The Lancia 3Ro was picked simply because of its availability in military workshops in the Italian colony of Libya when Italian generals noted the urgent need for a quick armed vehicle to fight in the open terrain of the Desert. These workshops started converting a small batch of these vehicles to help satisfy this demand.

 The Lancia 3Ro is overall very weakly protected, so it's best to keep distance from enemy vehicles. Any machine gun fire, artillery strike, or air attack could put it out of combat. Note that the main armament of the vehicle does not have any depression when facing forward, so most likely the vehicle shows its side or back to the enemy. This is why it's best to find a good spot early in the match where advantage can be taken of the better qualities this vehicle has to offer.
-The secondary armament is an 8 mm Breda Mod. 38 machine gun at the front of the vehicle. This weapon is only useful against aircraft or other trucks, but the only line of defence when the main gun is loading. The player should memorize exit points in case his position is revealed, he is forced to retreat and relocate, especially considering the poor turning circle.

-The 100 mm Cannone da 100/17 Mod.1914 has a long reload time, traverse is slow. Because of the driver's cab, the gun depression is limited in that direction. Depending on the ammunition used, penetration and/or post-penetration damage is excellent for the vehicle's BR. The projectiles have a steep trajectory, as steep as the learning curve —  especially in RB.

-The best way to play the Lancia 3Ro (100/17) is to use it as a flanker and for surprise attacks. Due to the vehicle being wheeled, it is able to reach spots at the start of the match that many vehicles on the enemy team will not expect fire from. Good situational awareness and  great map knowledge is needed to take full advantage of its mobility. Finding a good spot where it's not at risk of being cut down by MG fire will unlock the full potential of this vehicle.
