Ognevoy

2020-08-01T08:00:48Z

U4801938: /* Pros and cons */ updated with info

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_destroyer_pr30_ognevoy}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Russian destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]]. This is the ship which is a stepping stone to Soviet destroyers.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===

The hull of the ship is made of 11 mm of steel plates, while the turrets are protected by thinner 8 mm steel. The superstructure is protected by 11 mm steel. Due to the Pr. 30 Ognevoy being a destroyer, this ship is lacking in armour in favour for more speed.

=== Mobility ===

Although the Pr. 30 may be a bit slower than Frunze (38 kts vs 48 kts), you will notice better rudder performance.

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===

{{main|B-13 (130 mm)}}

The {{PAGENAME}} is a ship where the player is introduced to the famous Soviet 130 mm naval guns. This armament can be considered both an upgrade/downgrade from Frunze. Due to having only 2 turrets, losing just one of them will mean that 50% of your available guns are available to engage opponents.

Three types of shells are available: Basic HE, PB-46A semi-armor piercing, and ZS-46RS high-explosive variable time fuze shell. Every shell will be viable in matches.

=== Secondary armament ===

{{main|39-K (76 mm)}}

There is only one secondary gun, located behind the second rangefinder. Performance is mediocre against both surface and air targets, as the gun gets similar shells as the main armament.

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===

{{main|70-K (37 mm)|DShK (12.7 mm)}}

The anti-aircraft armament are the largest improvement over the Frunze. These guns allow one to both engage air and naval targets (PT- boats).

37 mm gets a full HE-belt.

12.7 mm gets AP-belt most of the time.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{main|53-39}}
''Torpedoes launchers are standard equipment on many ships and boats. Torpedoes are a significant means of defeating an opponent. Evaluate the position of the torpedo launchers, discuss the ammunition available, firing specifics such as dead zones, features of the torpedoes themselves, etc.''

''If there is no torpedo armament, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

This is a good all-around destroyer. Good guns, good anti-aircraft weapons, and decent torpedoes. Although it may be a bit slow, this weakness is well compensated by the numerous strengths. If a player is in the division, it is a good escort ship.

'''Pros:'''

* Excellent AA defense thanks to 37mm cannons
* Can easily destroy PT boats with 37mm cannons
* Surprisingly resilient to air attack
* Fairly good speed and rudder handling
* Relatively powerful main battery for tier
* Low repair costs

*

'''Cons:'''

* Main battery is disabled semi frequently, costing you a significant portion of your firepower
* Stock torpedoes have a range of just 4km
* First stage ammo storage is easily depleted in sustained combat
* Fires tend to lead to rapid detonations while in near stock configuration

*

== History ==

Interestingly enough, there is not that much known about this ship. This class of ships was intended to be an improvement over the Project 7 and Project 7U destroyers. Ognevoy guns came straight out of the Tashkent Destroyer when the ship was salvaged. Only two ships were constructed before and during WW2, while the rest was were completed following the war. The Pr. 30 Ognevoy made the way for the Skoryy-class of destroyers. The combat record of Ognevoy itself is unknown, but some sources indicate that it served to its full potential.

MPK-163

U4801938: /* Survivability and armour */ Talked about aspects of the ships defenses.

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_mpk_163}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet sub-chaser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
Armour on this ship is largely non-existent. Only armour to be found is on the gun turrets, and maxes out at 12mm, meaning anything larger then 7.7mm will punch through at nearly any range. Crew is thankfully plentiful and well spaced through out the ship, meaning you can tank a couple hits before a total crew loss is observed. Engines are easily damaged, and have a tendency to lead to fires aboard the ship. Ammunition stowage is decently protected, though remains vulnerable.

=== Mobility ===

Straight line speed is excellent, when spaded this vessel is capable of reaching 71km/h in arcade, easily capable of outrunning stock S-boats. For its size, the boat is extremely fast and somewhat manouverable, however like its predecessor, the length of the boat makes it difficult to navigate in shallow waters or tight corridors, and stopping distance is also an issue.

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{main|90-K (85 mm)}}
''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells.''

''Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

=== Secondary armament ===
{{main|70-K (37 mm)}}

The secondary gun is a 37 mm 70-k gun with a high rate of fire for its calibre and is most effective as an AA gun, and should be left as one, unless pesky patrol boats manage to surpass your large primary, then switch to this gun to take care of them quickly, as this gun has an exquisite firing arc on your boat and a good turn rate. It really isn't effective against other sub chasers of your size

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{main|DShK (12.7 mm)}}
''An important part of the ship’s armament responsible for air raid defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship’s anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets.''

=== Special armament ===

Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fast for a ship of it's size
* Effective cannon
* Good secondaries and AA guns for it's BR
* Lots of spaced out crew
* Surprisingly good flanker with it's heavy weapons and decent speed.

'''Cons:'''

* Reload on main cannon is mediocre at best.
* Large target
* Poor steering
* Has a habit of igniting easily

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction.

Pr.123K (A-10bis)

2020-06-21T19:50:49Z

U4801938: /* Pros and cons */ updated slightly

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_pr_123k_hydrofoils}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]] as part of the fleet release into open beta test.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===


This boat has no armour, and relies upon small size and fast speed for survival. Turning away after dropping torpedoes and hiding behind smoke should be standard tactics.

=== Mobility ===

The Pr 123K (A-11) is the fastest boat in the game - getting to 135/136kph in Arcade Battles. This makes it very useful for capturing zones that are some distance from the main battle area.

The vessel loses a lot of speed when making anything more than minimal turns, like all hydrofoils. However it has very good acceleration, allowing sharp turns to be a normal part of your tactics.

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===

{{main|KPVT (14.5 mm)}}

The Pr. 123K has dual [[KPVT_(14.5_mm)|14.5 mm KPVT]] machine guns mounted at the stern, giving a very wide angle of fire excluding a relatively small angle either side of straight ahead..

However the KPV is a very powerful gun, and with API ammunition it can do considerable internal and crew damage, destroying any other small boat in the game with 2-3 reloads, and even significantly reducing the crew of much larger vessels such as destroyers. Effective use of the guns requires good understanding of lead and aiming offsets for speed and angle - opponents will often not adequately compensate for your speed, while you can be causing damage at ranges up to 1.5 km

=== Torpedo armament ===

{{main|45-36NU (450 mm)}}

The Pr. 123bis carries two 450 mm wet-heating 45-36NU torpedoes. They have a range of 3 km at a speed of 78 km/h or a range of 6 km at 73 km/h with the Torpedo Mode module installed. They are placed at the bow of the boat and fired out at the same speed the boat is already travelling at.

=== Special armament ===
''Depth charges, mines, rocket launchers and missiles are also effective in skilled hands and can be an unexpected surprise for an opponent. Evaluate the ammunition of this type of armament and rate its performance in combat.''

== Usage in battles ==


In arcade battles, this vessel is best used to cap zones that are some distance from the main action areas. This is best done at the start of the battle, or towards the end, in either case when there are likely to be fewer enemy vessels near those zones.

The vessel is also an adequate PT boat for its battle rating, and its high speed allows it to hide behind terrain (islands, peninsulas) in ambush and to reload torpedoes (in AB)

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Very fast
* Very small
* Two 14.5 mm machine guns pack more punch than expected
* Depth charges allow for devastating point blank surprise attacks

'''Cons:'''

* Weak hull and small crew cannot take much damage
* Only two torpedoes

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction.

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===

{{main|F-34 (76 mm)}}

The Pr. 1124 (1945) is equipped with two 76 mm F-34 cannons, which are the exact same ones that are fitted on its predecessor, the Pr. 1124 (1940). These are very powerful cannons that can one-shot all light torpedo boats (notably, the LS 3, most of American tier I boats, and the G-5 in mixed battles). However, the reload time doesn't allow you to rush into the battlefield, like all the torpedo motor boats. At this stage, you should know to target engines or ammunition blocks to increase chances of one-shots or significantly impairing the enemy. You shouldn't have much trouble aiming, though, because the F-34 cannons shoot rounds at high speeds, unlike the MO-4, for example.

In terms of ammunition, it is advised to carry HE for the majority of encounters, but also take some AP to use against tougher opponents (at battle ratings 3.0 and 3.3, for instance). Don't take full ammunition, because at this battle rating your opponents should know where to shoot.

=== Secondary armament ===

{{main|70-K (37 mm)}}

The major difference between the Pr. 1124 (1940) and (1945) is the secondary armament. This boat is equipped with a 37 mm 70-K cannon, which should be your weapon of choice for close encounters, because of its fast reload rate and turret rotation speed. It also shines in messy fights, where you have to defend yourself from enemies all around yourself (although, you shouldn't find yourself in such situations often).

In general terms, this 37 mm cannon should be used in a similar way to the one on the BMO, which you have likely played before this boat. The only difference is that in an up-tier, you have to play much more passive.

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===

{{main|DShK (12.7 mm)}}

The twin 12.7 mm DShK machine guns remain the same as on the Pr. 1124 (1940), but now should be used exclusively for aircraft, because the enemies at this battle rating are likely not going to be susceptible to light machine gun fire. However, one benefit of having these guns placed on top of the bridge is that they are rarely taken out, which allows you to continue fighting back your enemies even when your other armaments are knocked out (it won't be very effective, though).

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don’t get try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* T-34 turrets can do serious damage with both HE and APHE
* 37 mm and twin 12.7 mm guns provide a formidable rear-aspect AA defence
* 37 mm is capable against most ships you will face
* T-34 turrets are well armoured, making them very difficult to disable
* Excellent close range burst damage potential.

'''Cons:'''

* Slow
* Rear 76 mm turret has very limited coverage of the ships frontal arc
* 37 mm offers virtually no coverage of the frontal region
* Easily losses crew of suffer's ammo rack damage do to HMG and auto cannon fire
* 76 mm shell velocity and reload speed can make long range combat difficult.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Single 37 mm 61-K cannon is capable of completely destroying enemy aircraft with only one or two hits
* Has reasonably better hull armour compared to other SPAA's with a similar battle rating
* Reloading is extremely fast; can fire almost constantly until the ammo storage is completely empty
* Armor-piercing belt's with 70 mm of penetration can be used to destroy light armoured ground vehicles if necessary and can even be used to destroy Shermans if fired at lower side armour
* HVAP-T has over 90mm of penetration at one hundred meters, allowing it to punch through the sides of tiger and even king tiger tanks at close ranges.

'''Cons:'''

* Crewmembers are very vulnerable to aircraft shooting from high angle due to opened top
* Struggles in rough terrain and steering is very stiff due to low engine power
* Turret has hardly any protection and barely manages to resist small-calibre machineguns
* When aiming vertically, the turret has to turn to the direction first, then aim vertically; taking quite long before aiming at the final position
* Turret rotation is somewhat sluggish
* Prone to hull break
* Low fire rate can make landing shots on aircraft difficult, while complicating lead estimation.

=== In-game description ===
Since tank divisions were facing greater losses from attacks by enemy assault aircraft, the decision was made to create a self-propelled anti-air mount based on light tanks. Work on the creation of a self-propelled installation based on the T-70 tank began in 1942. Two experimental models were released. Serious design flaws were uncovered during the testing phase.

In December, 1943 the ZSU-37 SPG was built at Factory #38 under the management of M.N. Shukin. It was armed with a 37mm KB M.N. Loginov 61-K AA cannon. The vehicle was based on the SU-76M SPG, but instead of a combat cockpit they installed an open, rotating turret. An experimental model of the vehicle successfully underwent state-run testing and was recommended for serial production. However, due to production difficulties, serial production was moved to Factory #40 in Mytishchi.

The vehicle’s design was enhanced at the new factory, and, after undergoing testing in October-November 1944, the vehicle began to be released serially. The vehicle was released in a small series of 75 units from 1945-1946. It was never used in combat.
