The OTOMATIC is one of the more role-diverse SPAA in the game, akin to that of the ADATS with its anti-air/anti-tank missiles. The radar system is capable of tracking a target while scanning, but can only track targets within a 180° arc from the front of the turret. The OTOMATIC is equipped with a SMA VPS-A05 search radar and a SMA VPS-A06 tracking radar both radars are located on the top of the turret, with the SMA VPS-A05 being mounted on an arm at the rear, and the SMA VPS-A06 being mounted further forwards on the left hand side of the turret roof. They do not trigger Missile Alert Warning systems, making them the ultimate helicopter killer. Thanks to being a big shell, most enemy helicopters and aircraft will not redirect course when being fired at until it's too late compared to the continuous fire smaller calibre SPAA have (25, 30, 35, 40 mm, etc). Trigger discipline is recommended as, due to the fast fire rate, the OTOMATIC can spend the whole ammunition reserve really fast. Thanks to the high calibre, the HE is able to carry a proximity fuse with a lethal explosive mass, making it capable of destroying all aerial threats with one or two hits. HE-MOM - The High Explosive Variable Time fuse proximity shell has a full anti-air role with zero anti-tank role. Trapshots are suggested (driver's port, cupola, mantlets, etc). Ammunition should be targeted with the APFSDS as the low amount of ammunition carrying can make it run out of APFSDS before destroying the enemy. It is able to destroy enemy targets in one hit if it's a well placed shot. It has decent penetration and stopping power as a dart and is more than capable with dealing enemy tanks. SAPOM is capable of destroying all lightly-armoured targets seen at the battle-rating (IFVs, SPAAs, etc).ĪPFSDS - The dart ammunition has a full anti-tank role though it can be used for anti-air roles, however it is not recommended. It is recommended to destroy their tracks and barrels in order to let friendly units take them out for this reason. When it comes to dealing with Russian targets (the most generally armoured MBTs in the game), SAPOM should be fire almost at the ground hitting the lowest part of the chassis. It should be noted most of the targets faced can be killed from the sides if shot between the road wheels in the lower half of the chassis (in case for NATO tanks), engine deck (will only cause fire and damage to transmission), Gunner's Primary Sight (in case of M1 Abrams and XM-1s). However, the SAPOM is not really suggested for anything rather than anti-tank roles as the HE-VT* is more than capable of dealing with enemy threats. It has a nice trade-off between anti-air and anti-tank capabilities due to the explosive mass and armour penetration. SAPOM - The Semi Armour-Piercing High Explosive Incendiary rounds has a multipurpose capabilities with a little bit of everything. The OTOMATIC has access to both anti-air and anti-tank ammunition capable of dealing with a high variety of threats, from lightly-armoured IFVs to heavily armoured MBTs. However, on the other side, you devour ammunition when doing continuous fire, getting from 90 shells to 60 in a matter of seconds. From one side you have a tremendous stopping power which can deal with all threats in seconds, including ground. The version mounted on the OTOMATIC is set to super-rapid fire, speeding the rate of fire from 60 RPM to 120 RPM. Different from other cannons, the 76 mm is the biggest anti-air calibre yet the smallest calibre for modern vehicles. This particular gun, if already used in vessels, has one of the best trade-off in accuracy, stopping power and range. This specific configuration is the Compact version, meaning the carousel is smaller for size reduction but with an increase in rate of fire. The OTOMATIC is armed with the most famous naval autocannon, the OTO Breda Cannone da 76/62. Main article: OTO Breda Cannone da 76/62 (76 mm) When APFSDS are available, the OTOMATIC may defend capture points against enemy tanks as well, while still dealing with aircraft, or it can switch to a more mobile, MBT-like playstyle, mostly thanks to the excellent penetration of the sabot rounds and the two-axis stabiliser. Shooting down aircraft should be the primary use of this vehicle at least until APFSDS rounds are unlocked, so staying in a cap zone is recommended, as the unit doesn't carry a lot of ammo (90 shells for a cannon with a 0.5s reload). The OTOMATIC is a radar-equipped SPAAG that is capable of shooting proximity fused frag rounds and can destroy planes even in a single, well-aimed shot. It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic". The OTO Main Anti-aircraft Tank for Intercept and Combat (shortened to OTOMATIC) is a rank VII Italian self-propelled anti-aircraft gun
