== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
For tactical and financial reasons, at the beginning of the 1960s, there were considerations as to whether the Bundesmarine could fulfill its task with smaller, and therefore cheaper, speedboats. In order to gain experience, several speedboats were purchased from abroad, which were different in their construction, propulsion and armament. In addition to the [[Hugin]] and Munin, which were purchased from Norway in 1960, two ships of the &amp;quot;Brave&amp;quot; class were purchased from Great Britain in 1962, which were named &amp;quot;Pfeil&amp;quot; (Arrow) and &amp;quot;Strahl&amp;quot; (Ray). Although these two ships were not identical in construction, they were given the same class designation. The shorter “Pfeil” had two Bristol-Siddeley-Proteus gas engines Mk 1270 and reached a speed of 50 knots. The &amp;quot;Strahl&amp;quot; had 3 gas turbines and therefore reached a top speed of 54 knots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, as with the Hugin and Munin, these units did not meet the expectations of the German Navy. On September 30, 1965 they were decommissioned and handed over to Greece.&lt;br /&gt;

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update &amp;quot;Apex Predators&amp;quot;]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Survivability and armour ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine.

If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Like every PT boat, it has barely any adequate armour and only 5 crew members, which makes it a fragile boat to play with. It also has engines that can somewhat be easily set on fire, a weakness shared with Soviet torpedo boats such as the [[Pr.123-bis]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mobility ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Its mobility is excellent, making it perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Combined with its relatively small size, it makes the boat an extremely hard-to-hit target, especially if the opposing ship is a destroyer or patrol ship.&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|ZU-23 (23 mm)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main armament, a pair of 23 mm autocannons, can be used to great effect in ambush and hit-and-run situations, but at the cost of making it hard to aim in windy conditions and/or at high speed. The API-T belt can be used to destroy PT boats very quickly, though it may have trouble dealing damage to more armoured boats which are more common at its BR such as the [[MBK-161 early]]. It also has extremely small magazines, that combined with a fast rate of fire, can be depleted within 5 seconds of continuous fire, so it is best to fire in short bursts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Additional armament ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Specs-Fleet-Additional}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ''Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|53-65 (533 mm)|UDM-E mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
The boat has space for two torpedoes and two mines. While the torpedoes are effective and can be used to bring down larger boats and destroyers with significant effect, the mines are situational at best so it isn't recommended to equip them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage in battles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ''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 try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. 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).'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The V-990 overall has a similar playstyle to the [[Pr.123K]]; though with a more powerful yet inaccurate armament and worse survivability. The gun is positioned in the rear, forcing you to expose your side, which consequently makes you an easier target. However it is compensated for by its extreme mobility for an MTB, which you can use to your advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The V-990 performs best in point-capturing operations: you can use its speed to your advantage to capture points quickly. Thus, it is recommended to rush to the capture points immediately at the start of every battle. Once these points have been captured, you can move to ambush tactics, taking cover behind islands to take out boats that are approaching or using your speed to approach and torpedo unsuspecting destroyers and larger ships. However, use your speed carefully as even smaller boats are able to severely damage you. A single shot from a destroyer can easily send you back to the hangar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Against other MTBs, the 23 mm guns are usually more than enough to shred them to pieces, but they have extremely poor stability, making it difficult to hit enemies especially in windy conditions: They are reserved for ambush tactics. If you react quickly enough with them, you might almost certainly win the engagement. It also has two potent torpedoes ideal for taking out destroyers and smaller ships (e.g. [[HMCS Brantford]]), or at least incapacitating them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Pros:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Very fast, reaches its top speed in only a few seconds&lt;br /&gt;
* Excellent turn rate&lt;br /&gt;
* Decent gun with fast traverse, short bursts are sometimes enough to destroy an enemy&lt;br /&gt;
* Fast and powerful torpedoes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Cons:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Poor survivability, with only 5 crew members&lt;br /&gt;
* Inaccurate and unstable gun&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabin constitutes a huge forward blindspot for the rear gun &lt;br /&gt;
* Long reload time&lt;br /&gt;
* Very fast rate of fire will deplete the small magazines quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of 1960, the development of a small torpedo carrier with increased operational criteria began. During development, the experience gained from previous projects proved to be very beneficial. This resulted in Project 131 Libelle, a 30 t boat with two torpedo tubes, two seamine ejectors and a twin 23mm anti-aircraft gun. There was the possibility of dismantling the seamine ejectors and turning the ship into a transport variant that could transport up to 10 people (e.g. combat swimmers).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the construction of four prototypes at the Peene shipyard in Wolgast, mass production of these boats began. By May 1977, 30 boats had been built. There were attempts to export the project to other nations, such as the Soviet Union, Poland, Bulgaria or Cuba, but this never materialized. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1984 to 1989, these ships were decommissioned. After the reunification of Germany, the German Navy demilitarized the remaining boats and handed them over to several navy and military museums throughout Germany.&lt;br /&gt;

From 1956 until 1959, the Volksmarine received four ships of the Riga-class (Project 50), that where taken from the Baltic Fleet. Some problems emerged at the beginning of the training, simple because many signs were still in Russian and not in German.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 16th In 1961 the ships were given the names: [[wikipedia:Karl_Marx|Karl Marx]], [[wikipedia:Ernst_Thälmann|Ernst Thäleman]], [[wikipedia:Friedrich_Engels|Friedrich Engels]] and [[wikipedia:Karl_Liebknecht|Karl Liebknecht]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were intended to combat sea and air targets, to hunt submarines, to provide escort, but also to support landing operations. In 1965/66 they conducted reconnaissance missions off the Norwegian coast and in the English Channel. The Karl Marx became particularly famous for her storm voyage in October 1967, as she survived one of the strongest hurricanes in the Baltic Sea since 1801, only slightly damaged thanks to the masterful efforts of the crew.&lt;br /&gt;
