Ariete Certezza: A Premium MBT for Italy at Rank VII
At a glance:
- Good mobility!
- DM53 APFSDS shell.
- Additional WAR armor.
In 1984, requirements were formed to create a new tank for the Italian Army. Multiple Italian defense companies became involved in creating this new tank, including FIAT, OTO Melara and IVECO. Developments in tank design during the OF-40 tank program and participation in the development of the Leopard 1 were used in the creation of the C1 Ariete prototype. The first batch of tanks were completed in 1988, and after a long series of tests and financial difficulties, the C1 began production in 1995. The initial plan was for 700 tanks, however only 200 were produced in total. In parallel with the base models, the PSO and WAR armor add-on kits were developed, improving the tank’s armor protection at the front and side.
To this day, the Italian Army is the only operator of the C1 Ariete tank.
Introducing the Ariete Certezza!
The Ariete Certezza is essentially a premium version of the C1 Ariete with the WAR armor add-on kit and a unique look. Coming to the game in the Hornet’s Sting major update, the pre-order pack will provide you with special pre-order bonuses, premium account days and Golden Eagles. Diving into the details!
Let’s take a closer look at the WAR armor add-on kit mentioned above. This kit provides additional protection on the turret’s cheeks, helping to resist hits from guided missiles and HEAT based shells. In terms of firepower, the Ariete Certezza features the 120 mm OTO Breda 120/44 cannon with an effective fire control system that includes a laser rangefinder and a high-res thermal imager. As for ammunition, this tank’s main round of choice is the DM53 APFSDS shell, providing excellent penetration values of just over 600 mm at 100 m.
As for the unique appearance of the Ariete Certezza, we’ve aimed to combine some of the characteristic features of tanks in this series that participated in various exercises and demonstrations. In addition to the markings on the hull and turret, this premium tank is distinguished by unique exhaust pipes that in a way are somewhat reminiscent of the ones from the Tiger tank and concertina razor wire on the lower front plate. To top it off, the Ariete Certezza has a Camouflage net modification that you can turn on or off to your liking. You’ll also be able to remove the WAR add-on armor kit, however the camouflage net will become unavailable when doing this.
That’s it for this dev blog! The Ariete Certezza can be pre-ordered starting from today and will be available with the release of the Hornet’s Sting major update. Keep an eye out for more dev blogs coming your way!
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Comments will be premoderatedDoes "Additional WAR armor" in the game refer to a WAR KIT that uses the same penetration resistance coefficient as the ERA code of Contact 1? I'm very curious about the reasoning behind Gaijin's decision to consider that a 5-ton armor kit, combined with the base armor, could realistically provide a protection level close to 600 KE. In the game, the turret can't even withstand 3BM42. What are your sources of information?
Its the same as the Ariete at 11.7. Source for the kit being... cause Gaijin says so? idk
Never was stated the armor had near 600mm of KE of protection
How about you guys actually fix the Ariete's armour before adding a premium version of it? Not are the war kit stats completely wrong and unrealistic, but even the hull should have some composite. The bug report about the ariete's armour was made more than 1 year ago, but nothing has changed.
But isnt the armour you know... terrible
yes and also incorrect
Yes....
Maybe fix the Armor before putting it on sale then people will buy it
The WAR kit as it's name suggests is meant for a peer to peer war and as such is meant to protect against kinetic energy projectiles hence the 5.5t of weight. And the community has presented you the evidence that clearly says so, and now you highlight your unsourced estimates as a feature.
Is the war kit actually gonna be able to take a hit or no??? I've seen arietes just get bullied and I'd love to play Italy but I just don't want to sit there and not have fun due to bad armor
Reminder that a bug report was put forward for the war kit that it was too light and too weak. Gaijin used the exact sources provided there to increase the weight but refused to increase the protection.
I think its so over for Italy
What’s the point of this gaijin?
Dear Gaijin team, Could you please explain why this premium Ariete used the same camo pattern as the 'Joker' camo that is available on the market? The pre-order bonus in this pack is the decal for the 32nd tank regiment, while the number 132 on the turret cheek represents the 132nd tank regiment. I can hardly see any rationale in your choice of camo. Please, it is a $70 worth pack; players deserve better.
