Italian tank destroyers, starting at tier V, possess some of the most unique and particular features of the entire game. These tanks shine the most in hulldown positions maximazing the turret armor thickness, and against enemies with low health, becoming a particularly dangerous threat in the final stages of a match. Other key features of these vehicles are the decent mobility for their tiers, the not so great frontal armor (even if quite sloped), and good gun depression paired with high damage and high shell velocity guns at the expense of overall accuracy.

These vehicles possess a unique variant of the autoreloader system found on the medium line, called ' improved autoreloader', which after the first shot fired, allows them to decrease the reloading time of the next shot, the more its firing comes close to the complete reload (to a maximum of half the time). Italian heavy tanks, start at tier VII with a traditional single shot, quite slow and not too much armored heavy tank, and evolve into an unusual support line from tier VIII to X. Also as a common trait of post-WWII western tank designs, they possess good - if not great - gun depression, which can be advantageous on hills or slopes. Combined with the great gun handling and good mobility, they could perform no less effective than Czech or French autoloaders, but are easier to handle. This Italian revolver of sorts, called an “ autoreloader,” can automatically reload a shell in the drum even when the drum is not empty yet. But the cherry on the cake are Tiers VIII–X with a new gun system, a hybrid between an autoloader and a regular gun. It would be best to play them as supporters, much resembling the German mediums at their tier. These vehicles generally have acceptable protection and decent firepower, yet their mobility leaves much to be desired. Italian medium tanks, from tier I to VII retrace the history of the nation’s tankbuilding, from Italy’s early tank designs at lower tiers through to post-WWII machines at mid-to-higher tiers.
