How to Play the Vipera

Take control of the Vipera, the brand-new Italian Tier VIII Tank Destroyer with an appetite for causing damage! Here's everything you need to know before taking on the battlefield's heavy armor:

Firepower

The Vipera packs an autoloader similar to the Tier VII–X vehicles of the new Italian tank destroyer line. It fires 5 shells in 24 seconds, with each dealing a decent 400 HP damage per shot with 220 mm of penetration. The unconventional 6-second delay between shots forces careful targeting—not aided by a 3.4 second aim time and mediocre accuracy—but it allows you to deal a quick 2,000 HP damage. The 36 second reload speed might seem long, yet it's comparable to that of French Tank Destroyers with a smaller clip. With -10 degrees of gun depression and a rotating turret with a 90-degree arc, you'll have plenty of offensive flexibility.

Mobility

The 32 km/h top speed won't propel you to the best spots first or let you reposition quickly while reloading, but it isn't bad for a well-armored vehicle. The hull's traverse speed is relatively slow, yet the decent turret traverse speed gives some compensation. Factor in the mobility and its limitations when exposing yourself or engaging opponents to avoid getting caught out.

Survivability

If the Vipera comes under fire, you can rely on its tough frontal turret and hull armor. The turret has 275/160/50 mm of armor, with 300 mm of effective armor at the front, and the hull's armor is 210/100/50 mm thick. The Italian's lower glacis plate is less reliable, and the turret's roof is only 40 mm thick, exposing it to SPGs, but its low cupola is very hard for enemies to hit. Thanks to strong turret angles, the armor is still effective while the turret is turned, and the frontal armor profile allows for more aggressive positioning.

Recommended Equipment and Crew Skills
