AUBL/74 is strongest in a scout and support role playing from visual or hard cover, The HEAT shell can penetrate almost any enemy but the post penetration damage is quite weak meaning most shots on spread out crews are only disabling shots and with the vehicles slower than average reload speed an enemy with a high crew agility and expert qualification can get their gunner back and shoot before you reload, so it is best to aim for ammunition or take out the enemies barrel or breech. The greater than average speed allows you to get a good over watch position early leaving you able to scout the enemy easily and take pot shots at the enemy. Playing this vehicle like an M18 hellcat or any other fast vehicles with good post penetration is ill advised as you won't often be able to kill flanked enemies in one shot, leaving you open to fire.

Description

GarageImage AUBL 74.jpg


The FIAT AUBL/74 is a rank IV Italian light tank with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic". It features good mobility and a low pressure Cockerill Mk. III 90 mm gun.

General info

Survivability and armour

Armour Type:

  • Rolled homogeneous armour
  • Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet)
Armour Front (Slope Angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 8mm (74°) Upper Glacis
8mm (44°) Lower Glacis 		8mm (39°) Upper
8mm (29°) Lower 		8mm (11°) Upper
8mm (44°) Lower 		8mm (86°) Rear
8mm (90°) Front
Armour Mantlet (Slope Angle) Front Sides Rear Roof
Turret 15mm (51°) Upper
15mm (22°) Lower
15mm (11°) Sides 		15mm (24°) Front
8mm (13°) Turret Cheeks 		8mm (33°) 8mm (11°) 8mm (85°) Front Glacis
8mm (90°) Rear
8mm (90°) Gunner Hatch
Armour Sides (Slope Angle) Commander Hatch (Slope Angle)
Cupola 15mm (0°) 8mm (90°)

Notes:

  • The side engine grilles are only 5mm thick, so make sure to protect those weak points.
  • There is an engine grille on the roof which is also only 5mm thick. A weak point planes might look to take advantage of.
  • This vehicle unfortunately hull breaks quite easily.
  • A tightly spaced crew of three makes it easily taken out by machine guns and auto-cannons.

Usage in battles

AUBL/74 is strongest in a scout and support role playing from visual or hard cover. The HEAT shell can penetrate almost any enemy but the post-penetration damage is quite weak meaning most shots on spread out crews are only disabling shots. With the vehicle's slower than average reload speed, an enemy with a high crew agility and expert qualification can get their gunner back and shoot before you reload, so it is best to aim for ammunition or take out the enemy's barrel or breech. The greater than average speed allows you to get a good over-watch position early leaving you able to scout the enemy easily and take pot shots if the opportunity arises. Playing this vehicle like an M18 Hellcat or any other fast vehicles with good post-penetration is ill-advised as you won't often be able to kill flanked enemies in one shot, leaving you open to fire.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 90 mm HEATFS comes stock - HESH and smoke shells are unlockable later
  • Rather good traverse and elevation rates allowing for quick reaction to incoming enemies
  • Fast on road and medium terrain
  • Recoil is not too strong, making aiming the follow-up shot much easier than other light tanks
  • Can repair friendly units
  • Good multi-purpose tank, both for scouting, ambushing, and side shots
  • Can swim!

Cons:

  • Light armour is vulnerable to .50 calibre even at medium ranges
  • Bad soft terrain speed, can barely break 25 km/h
  • Very prone to being moved by both enemy units and explosions; a bomb going off nearby can flip the vehicle entirely

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).
