Freccia - "This Thing Is Just Awesome!"

Interested in purchasing something from the War Thunder Store? You can use this link and get a 3% discount on your next purchase:
goo.gl/mqVkc6 As well as an In-Game Bo Decal!
The new Freccia IFV comes with the standard 25mm Autocannon that you will find on the VBC (PT2) but this variant has a twist. Two Spike MR Launchers were added giving this vehicle a long-range capability, as well as the possibility of hitting air targets with its ATGMS. I hope you enjoy the video and let us know what would you like to see next!

How do you guys feel about the continued roll out of fire-and-forget missiles? Is this good or bad for the game?

[@hoarsuh8173]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bo time

[@Stringbean3336]

I think theyre decently balanced right now, sure they track on their own but they have a tendency to miss often. Feel safer getting shot at by those then wire/laser guided ones

[@khannaraha8817]

I'd probably say so long as it can be properly balanced it should be okay. You really don't want something with a system like that to be too quick or sneaky as it could end up being somewhat invincible.

[@CIAagent_Watching]

I'm glad you can play war thunder Xbox and Playstation offline last I know we got Cyber attack so no warthunder until it's fixed

[@molstad182]

modern vehicle cool, modern vehicle make dopamine go high, me want modern vehicle

[@amhedgehog]

I love how you gave us an introduction to the vehicle and briefly explained the real life uses of it, I sure wouldn’t mind that in more videos!!

[@colbymcdowell2045]

Love when you do the segments like at the beginning talking about the vehicles! Great videos, big fan, and thank you to you guys for your hard work!

[@nekophht]

The water heater bit made me pause (figuratively) and glance at the floor, because I'm pretty sure my house's water heater would punch up into my bedroom if it went ballistic. Good news, it got replaced a couple years ago after it died, so I really should have nothing to worry about.

[@ammoniumphosphate]

as a WW2 player, all this new fancy schmancy stuff top tier gets scares me lol. Great video bo!

[@Red_Hot_Little_Pepper_Pupper]

I appreciate the introduction where you explain about the vehicle and how to use it! Plus it was funny what happened with the L3.

[@th0r945]

My favorite vehicle of the update. Cant wait for more Italian vehicles to be added! Great video Bo

[@Prinz_Churchill]

The Spike missiles look nice, I may get to use them soon if the grind is not so bad after the changes.

[@molstad182]

the economy changes proposed havent made it to the game yet, only a few minor yet important changes are here so far, like night battles being removed temporarily so they can work on the option to get them or not, the grind is still the same as before the update for now

[@Prinz_Churchill]

I know that they are not in game yet, but it will still be easier once they come.if they come.

[@vinisardagna]

​@@TheGunganlorian Not a whole lot yet, but later this month we will have another update that should change most vehicles' repair cost by a non-insignificant amount, and also buff the multipliers. Again, "should". Don't believe a word of it until Gaijin actually does something.

Those missiles are really good at hitting center mass, kinda scary on open maps that thing will do a lot of damage

[@OpamitKruecke]

Except they are super slow. 180 m per sec takes forever and if target disappears missile exploded

[@rasmaster2111]

yea these missiles are dogshit in real battle scenarios

[@KosmonautKong]

The Texan dealing with a snake by pulling out a double-barrel is a hilarious overkill. That's like the *tally ho lads* copypasta, 18th century cannon for home defense-level of "fuck off."

[@xXNightSlasherXx]

When the drone hit the tank and all I heard was "bonk" 😂😂😂

[@warbo3611]

I want to hear the childhood Bo story of how he became scared of tanks lol since he screams sometimes when hit.

[@n1thecaptain965]

Maxim 26: "Fire and forget" is fine, provided you do not actually forget. I'm pretty excited to see Spikes appear in WT, as that opens up possibilities for other F&F ATGM carriers to be added. With how much of the tank you need to see, they seem rather balanced so far, so I think this is a nice development. Great vid as always!

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I'm just wondering if Gaijin would have the balls to add the Tiger II to the Swedish ground tree, as they did have one. Granted, it was used as a target vehicle post-war. But still, if they could give Sweden a Sherman which was in the same role, then they can add the Swedish Tiger II.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

Nah! The Sherman inexplicably being in every single tech tree is a great meme. Let's not dilute it with other tanks. "You get a Sherman! You get a Sherman! EVERYBODY GETS A SHERMAN!"

[@pierluigiadreani2159]

I think it is a stretch.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

@@pierluigiadreani2159 The Sherman III/IV in the game was used as target practice by Sweden post-war. So I'm saying that if Gaijin can add that, they can add the Tiger II Sweden also used as a training target after WWII.

[@lai1663]

I like your way of thinking it would go great with the bkan😂

[@Blrkbork]

I believe sweden should also get the NM-116 panserjager, a upgraded M24 chaffee with a 90mm gun which was used by the norwegian army until 1993.

[@xybit4]

All spike´s have the topdown ability, its just the way they implemented these missles. Would be op if you could fly with your missle and guide it into a target from behind cover.

[@edwardsmith4722]

Bo and co., you guys put out some other most interesting content on all the interwebs. And am I the only one that feels we need a video with a mama mia duet with stick and bis?

[@isaacsquire6182]

Loved the video as always. I especially loved the brief on the missiles.

[@RenaultFT]

To answer what happened, with your phantom spike, you fired just as Fate got hit by a TOW. Great video, thanks to Fate and Stick for helping!

[@jrtrains7255]

Loved the introduction, I hope you do more of that in the future!

[@LudensP]

Appreciate the introduction to the vehicle.

[@ParoXyzmm]

I'd love to see some sort of LOAL implemented at some point. Maybe to give scout drones a use other than just spotting? They could designate targets for LOAL missiles or something

[@daltonh6136]

Happy to finally see the spike missiles in game. Looks pretty balanced where it is, I expected these things to be a lot more powerful than they ended up being

[@molstad182]

the spike-MR is pretty realistic i think, its the LR and onwards where things start getting like fnf NLOS you from 1.5km away levels of OP

Loved that last line. Great work you guys. Love the video. Keep up the good work!

[@51starmouredinfantry84]

I'm excited to see if the puma us gonna get spikes. I'm just worried its gonna jump the BR up a bunch since it's one of two of my only 9.7 vehicles and I'm already always upteired

[@bryanandersonmt]

I'm calling it now, it's gonna be a new vehicle for us to grind (and since it's gonna be at the end of the line, it's gonna be like 400k RP), cause that's the Gaijin way

[@jPlanerv2]

it will be separate vehicle 100%

[@pierluigiadreani2159]

The Puma is a heavier platform compared to the Freccia, with a more powerful gun, it make sense that it would be near top tier, more than 10.0 for sure.

[@superbattledroid1862]

@@bryanandersonmt It shouldn’t be but I believe you will be right.. Plus the Puma should of gotten the spike missile first, just saying.

Don't know if I'd ever get to that part of the tech tree, but those are awesome and terrifying

Water heaters don’t just generally explode. It takes someone monkeying with the pressure relief valve to make them take flight.

[@JIKwood]

24:00 please tell fate that those videos of water heaters rocketing off are incredibly superbly unlikely. like practically impossible unlikely. cause they have a lot of safety features for that reason and those videos are when they take the safety features off for science.

Great video Bo! This thing is pretty cool!

[@RyRy_941]

I live in Florida and a few years ago I heard about a sinkhole that opened up under a house near Tampa. A man was sleeping in bed with he fell in and his body was never recovered. The sinkhole continued to grow until it ate the house and a neighboring house before crews were able to stop it. So, that is a good fear to have!! Also, great video! Those missiles are quite beastly.

I really like the short description about the vehicle. About the vehicle, as long as it doesn't face any ww2 or early cw tanks and planes I can't care. Top tier is not worth playing anyway. This vehicle sounds like AB on easy mode in RB, like a ground based heli.

Still my problem stays: All u have is a single sketchy MBT and the "previous" IFVs to back it up. And I'm still can't get over the Dardo's BR change; that TOW 2B is NOT an improvement! At least the top helis' are on 10.0 as well, not like there's much CAS option for 10.0 Italy And I see they fixed the Atakas. On the patch day that AGM was "all over the sky" over-correcting, and wont stabilising after fired, giving it a poor hit ratio.
