That camo is the only reason I still play the ariete

[kico]

I pray every day for the snail to buff the ariete’s armour

[Check_Vibe]

It’s missing its lower armor and needs better turret armor.
They all had their weight increased but didn’t get the actual armor that gives them that weight 💀

[Noobixm]

Last time a tank got done this dirty a classified leak happened.

[borbduck]

Funfact: the SD.KFZ.234 can pen this thing



_from the front_

[blitz_]

There's a lot of things that they could change to buff the Ariete and they are all realistically accurate.
1. Spall liners of kevlar in the turret
2. Better armor in the frontal hull and turret
3. +20 mm more protection from the WAR kit
4. Possibility to have APS system called SCUDO
5. PSO, WAR kit and Anti-mine protection at the same time on the Ariete AMV (C2)
These are some of them

Main issue about the armor, iirc, is that it uses a type of uranium armor that gaijin refuses to model in

[Over_Aviation]

Spooksten:Casually getting a nuke with it

[jjacops]

Had one of the best apfsds in the game, but was nerfed Sadly.
At least is very agile

[lipkatatar]

Ariete is a testament to the whole nations theme - pain
You start playing and it's pain, and you end the grind with pain

[ATDPStudios]

The Ariete is the best, because it's the worst. Alone, it stands against the injustices of Breaking the Spaghetti!

[lebruh]

It used to be considered good when it was the only MBT with a 600mm pen round. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[JK_]

Meanwhile I have a friend who absolutely loves the ariete *jet.* And he's right about how good it is, when you see it in action.

[LoLproductions]

Ariete used to be unique with it being the only 120 with a 600mm+ pen shell, now everyone has one besides USSR and France.
I still pray for OFL 120 F2

[cherrypoptart]

I remember when once everyone considered the Italians the best top tier nation because the Ariete had the highest penning rounds of all mbts but really and truly it was the centauros carrying them

[MFan]

It is hilarious that a 1.3 m2 can Penn its turret cheek

[Zigzagreg]

and then theres Spookston who got a nuke with it easy

[thomastunnell]

The Ariete had it's place a while back due to it being a glass cannon that can pen pretty much everything, but in turn be pen'd by anything. Nowadays is outclassed in almost every regard

[damaan]

Gaijin be like: "Yeah this tank fucking sucks at everything like we designed it to."


"Uptier it lmao"

[scromker]

As someone who mains great britain only currently (hear me out) I would say that i believe the challenger 3 TD could possibly be an even worse choice, For starters The CR3 no longer gets the 5 second reload now that it has switched to the standard nato smoothbore 120mm this means it gets access to the dm53 round however this means the ammo is all stored in the turret without any blowout panels (its a demonstration vehicle) meaning currently it is the only mbt that can be ammo rack via a cannon breech shot not to mention the mobility barely gets an upgrade and the barely armored upper front plate means that the tank cannot brawl and cant even be a back line sniper due to the ammo rack weakness

(this is just an alternative i dont want argue which nation has it worse because italy definitely does)
