Firepower

The Progetto M35 mod. 46 Mars is equipped with a quick 3-shell autoreloader. This unique mechanic combines the short reload time of a common single-shooter with the great burst potential of an autoloader.

Unlike a standard autoloader, where reloading only starts once a clip is empty or when manually triggered, an autoreloader starts replenishing the clip as soon as a shot is fired. The reload time increases for every shell, with the first shot reloading the fastest.

While this special mechanic is definitely a highlight of the tank’s armament, it isn’t the only outstanding feature. The three shells can be unloaded in just 4 seconds, potentially melting away 720 enemy HP. And with good accuracy, 212 mm of penetration, and a quick 2.1 s aiming time, you will easily send your enemies to meet Pluto in the underworld.

Survivability

While its new permanent 3D style dresses the Progetto M35 mod. 46 Mars in shiny armor, the vehicle's actual values may seem rather bleak. You might occasionally have Fortuna on your side and bounce a shot, but don't rely on it. The HP pool of 1,400 is only average and leaves little room for errors. It is better to gain favors from Mercury, using swiftness and agility to stay in the game.

The camouflage values, boosted by the new style, and view range of 390 meters are enough to ambush unsuspecting victims and spot an incoming assault. However, the Progetto’s primary role remains dealing damage, picking off struggling enemies, and avoiding enemy fire.

Mobility

The 55 km/h top speed and overall good terrain resistance allow the Progetto M35 mod. 46 Mars to get around easily, no matter the conditions on the battlefield. Join the advancement and flank unsuspecting opponents, or jump to the aid of a teammate and outmaneuver an attacker. Just keep an eye on the minimap. The Italian medium tank’s agility allows it to dynamically react to any developments in battle.

You can also rely on your mobility to quickly retreat into cover in order to reload or escape a dangerous situation. Of course, sometimes it is best to take a good position and wait for the right opportunity to strike.
