Introducing the FIAT 6614 FIROS 6!
The vehicle reward in the Rocket Storm event is this high-speed armored vehicle, capable of racing across the battlefield at 100 km/h, equipped with a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS). Meet the FIAT 6614 FIROS 6, featuring a total of 48 rockets ready to fire!
Originally, this unusual roof-mounted rocket launcher was specifically designed to fire unguided aircraft rockets. We’ve specifically chosen the rockets with HEAT warheads that provide a good balance of penetration up to 250 mm and effectiveness against armor. The launcher holds a total of 48 ready-to-fire 51 mm rockets, with an additional 96 stored in the hull. To add to this, the launcher has a slow rotation speed, so keep this in mind while playing this vehicle!
If you’ve played the mid-tier Italian ground vehicles, you’ll immediately recognize the chassis, as it’s the same as the FIAT 6614 that’s equipped with a recoilless gun on top. This chassis has very thin armor that’s only able to withstand rifle-caliber bullets, but compensates with a powerful engine that provides excellent mobility and a top speed of 100 km/h. This makes the FIAT 6614 FIROS 6 the most mobile MLRS vehicle in War Thunder!
Like all Italian wheeled light vehicles, the FIAT 6614 FIROS 6 requires you to be daring in your approach to battles. The launcher is relatively small, can rotate 360 degrees (slowly), and is capable of both direct and indirect fire. This makes the FIROS 6 ideal for carrying out early pushes towards opponents driving to their objectives and is also highly effective when using ambush tactics. It can take cover behind building corners or conceal itself in hedgerows while waiting for unsuspecting opponents to advance — only to be taken out with a sudden barrage of 48 rockets!
