Description

The Ariete is a premium rank Italian jet fighter with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Danger Zone".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Modifications and economy

Armaments

Offensive armament

The Ariete (Fighter) is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm Hispano HS 825 cannons, nose-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a 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. Examine 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

Pros:

  • The second engine provides about 50% more thrust than the Sagitarrio 2
  • The high fire rate and velocity of the 30 mm Hispano's can make quick work of any aircraft or light ground target
  • The high velocity of the 30 mm Hispano is easy to use and beginner friendly
  • Extremely effective aircraft control even at high speed
  • Quick acceleration for a jet without an afterburner

Cons:

  • The second engine will burn off fuel faster if used
  • Only a high explosive belt can be used
  • A low ammo count of 240 rounds paired with a quick fire rate means trigger discipline is a must
  • No suspended armament
  • Large possibility of facing many supersonic jets
  • Has a heavier airframe than the Sagitarrio 2 due to the second engine

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
