 The MAS 569 was one of the final 4th Series of the [[MAS 500 (Family)|MAS Tipo "500"]]. Compared to those of the 3rd Series, it had some minor changes such as the adoption of the manoeuvre rudder on the bridge, the increase of the ammunition supply for the Breda 20 mm/65 autocannon and the addition of support for the Breda 6.5 mm machine gun. MAS 569 participated in the Italian Black Sea Flotilla from August 1942 and arrived on 30 July 1942 in Yalta. In the same year, she was damaged by enemy bombardment. After 1942, she entered service with the German Navy only to be later delivered to the Romanian Navy on 28 August 1943, her fate was to sink somewhere in the Black Sea in August 1944.
-Intoduced as a premium along with the initial Italian naval tree in [[Update "Starfighters"]], the MAS 569 has incredible speed in both Arcade and Realistic and manoeuvrability which allows it to quickly reach enemy targets and launch torpedoes or depth charges. The armament is composed of a single 20 mm cannon and a single 6.5 mm machine gun: the 20 mm can cause quite a bit of damage to enemy boats, however the 6.5 mm has a small magazine and fires too quickly, so it is always worth going out at the right times with the 20 mm to destroy enemy ships with the torpedoes, depth charges, and the 20 mm.

 The primary armament is composed of one 20 mm Breda 20/65 and a 6.5 mm Breda Mod.30 as secondary primary.
 The 6.5 mm Breda is infamous among Italian soldiers for being an unreliable and weak machine gun that has a lengthy reload for a considerably small box magazine of 20 bullets. Meanwhile, the 20 mm Breda 20/65 will be the main workhorse in regards of damage output, offering a shorter magazine at 12 shells, it at least deals damage.

-The MAS 569 is a rather odd ship, the 20 mm cannon has a low rate of fire and small magazine, as well as being unable to fire directly forward, drastically limit its potential, but thanks to the 6.5 mm the MAS 569 gets a big advantage which is its rate of fire which can cause serious damage to enemy ships. The best choice when using the cannon and machine gun is not to sail forwards, but to stay to the side. This allows you to use the entire operational area of the weapons.

 The best way is to stay behind cover and only move backwards when engaging and then return to cover. One-on-one combat against almost any other reserve boat will not work in your favour, so the element of surprise is very important.
