MC 485 - Armour Breaking Ambusher - War Thunder
Today we take our first look at the upcoming Armour Breaking Ambusher battlepass for War Thunder, starting off with the MC-485, an ex German E-boat sold into civilian service before being sold onto the Italian Navy, with the MC-485 also going being the main prize of the upcoming battlepass!
So join me as we take a look at the history of this unique craft, its stats, how it will play in War Thunder and my overall thoughts on the MC-485!

00:00Hello everybody Toreno here and welcome to our
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe Baltics, was surrendered to the Allies at the
00:25end of the war and was then sold on to a civilian
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup seeing service with the Italian Navy
00:48in the Adriatic and Ionian seas and
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis does look to be the Kingdom of Italy flag
01:10and of course as you all know Italy stops being a
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand 20 millimeter cannon at the bow.
01:34The MC 485 by comparison has twin 40mm
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand assuming that this has the same ammunition as
01:58the Italian MC 490 you're going to be looking at
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedenemies apart and you could even be a bit
02:21of a threat to enemy destroyers and the like
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedTorpedoes which have a max speed in the
02:40water 51 miles per hour 82 kilometers an
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave the W.200 Torpedoes which have the exact same
03:08speed but a range of only three kilometers
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddepth charges actually fitted but if they
03:30are fitted that obviously increase the firepower
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedspeed is 39 knots or 44.8 miles per hour or 72.2
03:55kilometers an hour so this is a tiny bit slower
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis a very good alternative to the MS 472 and the
04:22MC 490 which have similar armaments but you know
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedespecially when we just had a coastal vessel, but
04:45to be honest this is the sort of prize I'd like to
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpass theme might be (now named "Armour Breaking Ambusher") although to be fair I'm
05:08not sure the themes have necessarily made sense
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe'll get a bit of a information out of this,
05:29but so far we haven't been given any clues.
05:33Anyway just a quick video for today,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,120
