The “Artigliere” version is a prototype conversion of the P.108 bomber developed in 1943 with the purpose of allowing the aircraft to fulfill anti-ship duties. Although testing showed favourable performance, further development and serial production was halted due to the Italian surrender later that year.

In War Thunder, the P.108A will complement the intermediate ranks of the Italian aviation tech tree. Despite being a large, four-engined aircraft, the P.108A still remains very sturdy due to the rugged design and all-metal construction. Thanks to that, pilots of this unique machine can comfortably perform aggressive attack runs knowing that the structural integrity allows for absorption of serious damage, allowing for a safe voyage back to base.

It should go without saying that the 102 mm cannon will present a serious threat to both tankers and future captains, as it is often that a single, well placed hit is usually enough to seriously cripple or knock out even the most well-protected targets all together.  

Something that should constantly be in the minds of this aircraft’s future pilots is the limited ammunition capacity for the main cannon. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, players should maintain a good trigger discipline and take shots only if they are sure that they will reach their target. However, when the cannon inevitably runs out of ammo, the P.108A is still able to engage enemy ships, thanks to 3 torpedo mounts underneath the fuselage. Stay vigilant captains, this one is not giving up easily!

The P.108A will make its debut in War Thunder with the upcoming update 1.69 “Regia Aeronautica”, as a rank 3 heavy attacker of the Italian research tree. The high command advises captains of naval vessels to begin with routine anti-air exercises as soon as favorable weather conditions permit!
