Description
The VCC-80 (HITFIST 30) is a rank Italian light tank with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Ground Breaking".
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- Fantastic mobility
- High speed, both forwards (70 km/h) and in reverse (34 km/h)
- Uses the 30 mm Bushmaster II instead of the 25 mm Oerlikon - increased APFSDS penetration
- Access to a full APFSDS belt
- Various missiles at your disposal - standard TOW-2's, tandem-charge TOW-2A's and the infamous top-attack TOW-2B's
- Great zoom and wide FOV in the gunner's and commander's sight
- High gun elevation - capable of engaging helicopters and other aircraft
- Capable of firing 2 rockets without having to wait for the launchers to elevate
- Responsive neutral steering
- Eager to accelerate both forwards and in reverse
- Low profile, unlike its American and Swedish contemporary, the M3A3 Bradley and Strf 9040 BILL
- Very fast turret rotation
Cons:
- Much slower rate of fire than the 25 mm Oerlikon found on the Dardo - 200 rounds/min for the VCC-80/30, 500 rounds/min for the Dardo
- Weak armour, as is expected from an IFV
- Stock belts consists of one single APDS shot, this, combined with the slow rate of fire, can land you in serious trouble when engaging enemy vehicles
- Cramped turret with only 2 crewmembers - hits on the turret are usually fatal
- Cannot fire missiles on the move, unlike the Russian BMP-2M
- Tendency to oversteer at high speeds
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
