 Strafing aircraft will also have no issues with destroying the car as angled armour means nothing to them. Bombs and rockets also deal overpressure damage if the {{PAGENAME}} is standing in their destruction radius. Artillery is likely to destroy the car in a single hit, but sometimes it takes 3 close hits.
-The survivability is still high, as car has the ability to poke just the gun out of cover. This not only makes the tank very difficult to spot, but in case of a hit, only the barrel will be damaged (and often only 1 of them which allows you to fire with the other one). Unfortunately, compared to the FIAT, the dual guns are extremely easy to hit and damage, so literally staring at the enemy tanks is no longer safe.

 Similar to most other light tanks, the best way to play this vehicle is either as an ambush vehicle or as a flanking vehicle. This helps to avoid sudden direct confrontations which in turn masks the vehicle's greatest weaknesses which are poor fire stability (gun bounce) and poor armour. Ambushing even in highly popular pathways can be very successful with this tank due to its dual rifles, reducing the chance you will be overwhelmed. Brawling can be done in this vehicle due to its fast acceleration and decent turret traverse, allowing it to duck in and out of cover to fire very quickly, though it should always be done carefully.
-In majority of cases, medium sized rocks are no longer a feasible cover (unlike with FIAT), so only small ones are useable considering gun aiming angles. The small rocks and shallow hills are R3's best friends. If you are forced to guard from low ground on uneven terrain, make sure to look around, as standing on a tall hill will get you killed due to poor vertical aiming angles, while standing on a flat surface will allow you to fling shells over cover:

 To have better chances at survival, try to be less apprehensive and at least have decency to move out of enemy sights after firing and try to not push your luck with tanks that cannot be one-shot. Sometimes, there isn't any cover that you could use, or you would simply run out of ammunition trying to shoehorn the R3 into a bastion defence role. In these cases you need to either assault enemy way ahead of the capture point (so that you can run away and reload at least one gun before they could catch up), or work as an area denial vehicle, controlling angles and corners, rather than trying to play as a flat out portable turret.
-When doing area denial, be as obnoxious and difficult to kill as possible, while blocking the capture point. Try to always present the back of the car to minimize damage taken. It doesn't even have to be you, who does the killing, but you need to give the enemy team a message to slow down their assault. Always position yourself in a way that lets the enemy still see you, but doesn't let them touch you without driving into a "that's a double barrel, i will certainly die if i go there" zone:

 As mentioned in the armament section, using the right round can lead to great success against opponents. Knowing how to use the HESH round is imperative to success with this vehicle.

-The Story of the OTO R3 Capraia begin during the late cold war, OTO Melara was looking to make a reconnaissance vehicle for Italy in the 1980's that would be able to be easy to manufacture and hopefully be picked up by the Italian army and put into service. During that era a lot of nations around the world would experiment with creating light, easily transportable, multi role vehicles. OTO Melara was no different and in the years leading up to this they had already some experience in the field. After some time designing the new vehicle, OTO Melara woud finally first display the prototype of the R3 Capraia, (The Capraia received its production name after an island of the Tuscan archipelago.) which would be shown at an Italian Naval exhibition at Genoa in 1982.  As previously mentioned they wanted a multi-role vehicle, so for this many different variants would begin to emerge. According to OTO Melara, the R3 Capraia was able to use multiple types of weapon systems, such as a TOW launcher and a dual M40 106mm Recoiless rifle (both of these versions likely weren't actually made but could be made if someone showed interest). The variant in game has access to the American made 106 mm recoiless rifle, 2 mounted on the turret. The vehicle was able to fire on the move and if there was no access to bridges, the R3 Capraia is amphibious. At the time not many vehicles of the era had the same ability. It was extensively tested by the Italian army, and even though it showed some great qualities, at the time there was not a need for that type of vehicle. It had high performance for the era mainly due to the possibility of intergrating various weapon systems. Following the conclusion of its evaluation by the Italian army, the OTO R3 Capraia prototypes were put in storage inside of the OTO Melara factory.

-The OTO Melara R3 Capraia (introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]].) was a recon vehicle made mainly for the export market. The Italian army did test it as they were interested in seeing if the Folgore regiment could have a use for it. The R3 Capraia was made in at least 7 prototypes, each with their own special configurations and armaments. Ultimately even though there was an interest it wasn't enough for any country to put it in service, the main reasoning being that the market was too saturated with light recon vehicles. The main armament options which the OTO R3 Capraia had access to included a 7.62mm machine gun, a 12.7mm machine gun, a TOW ATGM launcher and also a [[Oerlikon KAD (20 mm)|20 mm Oerlikon KAD]] auto cannon. The one represented in game is equipped with 2 American made 106mm recoiless rifles attached to a turret. The main munitions the OTO R3 can use include both HESH and HEAT rounds, paired up with its great mobility allows the R3 to become a very nimble tank destroyer which is able to inflict serious damage to the enemy team when used by someone with great situational awareness and map knowledge. When you are by yourself you can still support your team, unlike the previous R3 featured in the tech tree, this one actually comes with the scouting mechanic. Scouting not only will bring more points but will make victory more likely than before. Sadly it does not have access to smoke grenades and has very poor armour, however what the R3 Capraia is really good at is mobility. It is a wheeled vehicle which can easily reach high speeds meaning at the start of a match you can easily get into a good position to pounce on enemies or even rush certain capture zones. The mobility at times can also be a con, for example when travelling at high speeds you are not really able to turn as you risk your vehicle tumbling over. Maps with snow or mud also don't really compliment the R3's mobility. The R3 however is still very good at higher battle ratings than its own so keep that in mind when playing the vehicle. It does not get access to thermals or night vision devices so its also another thing to take into account if a player chooses to bring it to a higher battle rating.

The resulting OTO R3, nicknamed in production as "Capraia" was first shown off at the Italian Naval Exhibition in Genoa in 1982. The new vehicle received increased armour protection around its body, protecting the crew from rifle-calibre fire and shrapnel. Furthermore, the vehicle could be armed with various weaponry, ranging from MGs, over cannons to ATGMs, depending on the version.

The gun has quite a low velocity (500 m/s), making aiming above 600 m quite difficult as your range estimation has to be very accurate. However, the presence of another gun allows you to adjust your second shot, making it quite easy to hit moving targets up to 1000 m with your first shot. Above all that, even having a second gun has no guarantee of a hit, unless they are sitting still and not moving. The gun reloads with about 10 seconds, allowing for about 12 shots a minute (2 guns). Unfortunately, the {{PAGENAME}} has only 5 rounds per gun, so it is essential that the player does not waste the ammo on engagements over 1000 m to save ammo. Instead, use the excellent mobility to flank and get closer. The gun bounces more than most tankers are used to when coming to a stop, which leads to a very long time before it is ready to be fired. This can be counteracted by its second gun as the player may miss once but still have a second shot, reducing the "fear factor" of missing when timing gun bounce. The gun rotation speed is 20°/sec which is very good in reacting to new threats which appear.

-The resulting OTO R3, nicknamed in production as "Capraia" was first shown off at the Italian Naval Exhibition in Genoa in 1982. The new vehicle received increased armor protection around its body, protecting the crew from rifle caliber fire and shrapnel. Furthermore, the vehicle could be armed with various weaponry, ranging from MGs, over cannons to ATGMs, depending on the version.
