The OTO Melara R3 Capraia was a reconnaissance vehicle made mainly for the export market. The Italian army did also test it as they were interested in seeing if the Folgore regiment could have a use for it. The R3 Capraia was made in at least 7 prototypes, each with their own special configurations and armaments. Despite interest, no country ultimately put it into service due to a saturated market for light reconnaissance vehicles. The R3 Capraia was equipped with various armament options, including a 7.62 mm machine gun, a 12.7 mm machine gun, a 20 mm autocannon, and a TOW ATGM launcher.
Introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic", the R3 T106 FA is equipped with two American 106 mm recoilless rifles attached to a turret. The main munitions available are HESH and HEAT rounds; paired with its great speed, these allow the R3 to become a very nimble tank destroyer, able to inflict serious damage to the enemy team while taking to damage when used with situational awareness and map knowledge. When you are out of position, you can still support your team as a scout, much like with the FIAT. Scouting not only will bring more points but will make victory more likely than before. The R3 Capraia lacks smoke grenades and has relatively weak armour, it does not get access to thermals, night vision devices, or a gun stabiliser, but its overwhelming firepower and high speed allows it to stay on par with ATGM tank threat level in the eyes of others. As a wheeled vehicle, it can reach high speeds, allowing it to quickly pounce on enemies or rush capture zones. Unfortunately, sometimes the R3's speed can also be a drawback, as it is extremely unstable in turns and may appear to be too slow on maps with snow or mud. Despite its flaws, the R3 is effective even outside its own battle rating when used intelligently.
