U6133915: /* Generations of thermals */ new section

== Table of vehicles ==

Can we pick a preferred format and standardise the vehicle table a bit? It looks a odd having five different variations of ticks and crosses. --[[User:U13682523|U13682523]] ([[User talk:U13682523|talk]]) 18:08, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
:* It is currently a WIP, a few of us were looking at different options of what might work best, we should have a finalized format later today or tomorrow. I am thinking the Ground Vehicle table needs to be alphabetized or else it looks goofy to have all the flags in order, just my thought. -[[User:U64962917|U64962917]] ([[User talk:U64962917|talk]]) 18:12, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
::* I'll go ahead and alphabetise it (as best I can) once you guys have decided on a theme, since I don't really want to have to try and move the styles over to the new version -[[User:U38088265|U38088265]] ([[User talk:U38088265|talk]]) 18:24, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
:::* Sounds good!! -[[User:U64962917|U64962917]] ([[User talk:U64962917|talk]]) 18:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

== Table example and placement ==

It would be nice if NVD table examples were doubled here as well. I can add IR flashlight table to Optics as well, as it hurts nobody, but it still would make more sense to be here (at least so that if person is not interested in reading one page or another, they do not miss it).

Also, if the NVD list is 100% correct I can go ahead and bomb all the vehicle pages with the expanded table, correct? --[[User:U42773747|U42773747]] ([[User talk:U42773747|talk]]) 10:22, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

== Generations of thermals ==

Would be nice to add generations of thermal imagers into table. Right its just Yes/No but difference between Gen 1 and Gen 3 is quite significant.

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.75 "La Résistance"]].

Considered one of the premier fighter aircraft of the day, several nations put bids in to receive surplus F-86 fighters to add to their arsenal. Japan successfully acquired this aircraft, however, due to the popularity of the aircraft, supplies evaporated. Though North American restarted production of the aircraft, Japan successfully lobbied to acquire the licensing rights to have Mitsubishi Manufacturing begin production of the aircraft, allowing Japan to increase its air force's offensive and defensive capabilities sooner than expected.

Though not one of the fastest aircraft during this time period, it can be one of the most manoeuvrable when considering throttle control, air-brakes and the wing slats. The manoeuvrability of this aircraft is definitely a plus when flying against other fighters which could be considered more of a manned-missile with lots of speed, but a horrible turning radius.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}


* 6.35 mm - Fore-cockpit steel plates
* 38 mm - Bulletproof windscreen
* 12.7 mm - Steel plate behind pilot's seat
* 20 mm - Steel plate in pilot's headrest

This aircraft is equipped at the front with two steel plates, each of which is 6.35 mm thick. The cockpit has a 38 mm bulletproof windscreen that protects the pilot's torso and head. The backseat incorporates 12.7 mm of steel to protect the pilot's back while the headrest contains a 20 mm steel plate. This protection will help against smaller calibre rounds, however, cannot sustain many direct hits with 20 mm rounds or higher.

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armaments ==
{{Specs-Avia-Armaments}}
=== Offensive armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|M3 Browning (12.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 6 x 12.7 mm M3 Browning machine guns, nose-mounted (300 rpg = 1,800 total)

The F86F-40 JASDF were U.S. airframes assembled by Mitsubishi in Japan, and they offered the same offensive armament of many of it's Saber brethren, namely the 6 x M3 Browning 12.7 mm/.50 calibre machine guns. These machine guns are similar in performance to their predecessor, the M2 Browning; however, they excelled with a significantly higher rate of fire. The total ammunition count for this aircraft is 1,800 rounds, divided up with 300 rounds per gun. Ammunition belts for this aircraft are conventional 12.7 mm belts found on U.S. aircraft, and typically the tracer belts permit for the quickest correction of aim. Other belts may be utilised as necessary and depending on play-style such as the Stealth belts; however, these should be used by skilled pilots who already understand the firing aspects of the M3 Brownings and bullet performance. One challenge with the Stealth belts is the lack of tracers, making it much harder to correct aim when solely relying on visual clues.

=== Suspended armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Suspended}}

{{main|AN-M65A1 Fin M129 (1,000 lb)|AIM-9B Sidewinder|HVAR}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

* Without load
* 16 x HVAR rockets
* 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 Fin M129 bombs (2,000 lb total)
* 2 x AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles

The unguided rockets outfitted on this aircraft are the familiar American HVARs, which can be used against slow-moving bombers or ground target vehicles and anti-aircraft guns. Since the HVARs are a fire-and-forget rocket, they work best against either stationary targets or against slow-moving targets which may not be able to avoid inbound rockets. Another option for suspended ordnances includes bombs, namely the 1,000 lbs AN-M65A1 bombs. Two of these bombs is all that this aircraft can safely carry, but these bombs will do considerable damage against ground units, ships and bases. While performing bombing runs, always be on the lookout for enemy fighters attempting to swoop in and eliminate the F-86F-40 which may be flying slower and lower than typical. For air-to-air combat, using the Aim-9B missiles to complement the M3 Browing machine guns makes for a deadly combination. These missiles are best used in close quarters, anywhere from 600 - 800 m which minimizes the opportunity for the enemy pilot to evade or out-fly the missiles. It is quite possible for the enemy to avoid the in-bound missile; however, this provides the attacking aircraft with the opportunity to manoeuvre in and take out the fighter with its machine guns. Hopefully, the enemy fighter has bled any energy advantage it may have had presenting itself as an ideal target for the machine guns.

== Usage in battles ==

While the F-86F-40's acceleration and top speed are lacking compared to its contemporaries, the F-86F-40's slats allow the plane to have an outstanding manoeuvrability. That said, one must beware of their speed as pulling hard manoeuvres at high speeds can put the plane under great stress which leads to the wings falling apart. The outstanding manoeuvrability comes at the cost of speed. Pulling hard turns will bleed your air speed. Try to climb up before engaging the enemy to ensure you have enough energy to get out of a sticky situation. Hopefully, there will be a furball underneath you where you would be able to pounce on low-energy fighters with your guns or the AIM-9B. One advantage the F-86 has over the jets of other nations is the large ammo count of its 6 x .50 cals (1,800) although it would be wise to hit most of your shots. Try staying above 500 km/h as any slower and you would lose a significant amount of energy in a prolonged turn.

===Radars===

The F-86F-40 is equipped with an AN/APG-30 rangefinding radar, located in the nose of the aircraft.
It will automatically detect other planes within the scanning area and display the range to the closest target. It is linked with a gyro gunsight and can help with aiming at close range.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Outstanding manoeuvrability
* Can wield air-to-air missiles
* Good guns: the 12.7 mm MGs have lots of ammo, straight bullet trajectory, and adequate velocity
* Air-to-ground armament, such as bombs and missiles
* Excellent roll rate
* Great dive acceleration makes it a nice diver
* Good energy retention in a climb
* Stable shooting platform during high speeds
* Air brakes and flaps allow for tight manoeuvres and enemy overshoots at the cost of reduced speed

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre acceleration
* Low top speed
* Weak one-second burst mass of the armament
* High speed manoeuvres can lead to wings breaking apart
* Slower turn rate than many contemporaries

== History ==

Following the formal founding of the JASDF in 1954, the North American F-86F was selected as the nascent air force's day-fighter jet. Originally, the USAF expected to be able to deliver all of the JASDF's fighters from its stocks of surplus aircraft since the Sabre was slated for replacement by supersonic fighter jets, but with production of the F-86F-35-NA having been wound down in August of 1954 it was soon realised that existing stocks would be insufficient to cover the orders for the Sabre made by many of the Allied nations. Additionally, negotiations between Japan and the United States resulted in a license agreement being struck which would eventually see Mitsubishi cover production of the F-86F for the JASDF. However, as production facilities would first have to be set up for this, a first block of F-86Fs would be delivered to the JASDF.

To cover the shortfall of F-86s for export, production of the F-86 was restarted by North American. The new production block, the F-86F-40-NA, differed from the preceding production block in having a new wing. While Blocks 25 to 35 had been equipped with the slatless 6-3 wing, the Block 40 saw the airframe retain the 6-3 proportioned wing, but with an introduction of the slats in order to improve low-speed handling, and the wingtips extended so the overall span was increased from 37.12 to 39.11 ft. This lowered the stall speed of the F-86F-40-NA from 144 to 124 mph, and decreased the take-off run by 800 ft. Despite these modifications adding 250 lb to the F-86F-40-NA's weight when compared with the earlier F-86F-35-NA, overall performance remained the same.

Production of a first block of 'export' F-86F-40-NA's was approved on June 27th 1955, with a block of 215 aircraft being ordered for delivery to the Japanese and Spanish Air Forces. As these aircraft were purchased with MDAP funds, they were assigned USAF serial numbers 55-3816 to -4030. In 1956 an additional 65 aircraft were added to the order, with some aircraft intended for delivery to Pakistan: these aircraft received USAF serial numbers 55-4983 to 5047.

Of these 280 aircraft, 150 were slated for delivery to Japan. In Japanese service, this first block of aircraft was assigned the serial numbers 62-7431 to -7580, with deliveries taking place between April and December of 1956. Due to a lack of pilots, the last 45 aircraft from this block - 7536 to 7580 - were directly put into storage; in 1959 they were returned to the USAF.

The next block of 70 aircraft was the first batch assembled by Mitsubishi from North American-produced knock down kits, known as the F-86F-40-MIT. As these aircraft too had been funded by the MDAP program, they were assigned USAF serials 55-5048 to -5117; in JASDF service they were renumbered as 62-7701 to -7704; and 72-7705 to -7770. The first Japanese-assembled F-86F flew on August 9th 1956; the last of this block was delivered on December 17th 1957.

The second block of Mitsubishi-built F-86Fs was once again assembled by Mitsubishi from North American-produced knock down kits; the 110 aircraft were assigned USAF serial block 56-2773 to -2882, and received JASDF serial numbers 72-7771 to -7772; 82-7773 to -7868; and 92-7869 to 7880. The first aircraft from this block was accepted into service on December 28th 1957; the last was delivered on February 14th 1959.

The third and final block of 120 Mitsubishi-built F-86Fs was assigned USAF serial block 57-6338 to -6457, and received JASDF serial numbers 92-7881 to -7940; 02-7941 to -7991; and 12-7992 to -7999; the last aircraft delivered was - oddly - given the serial number 12-7000 instead of 12-8000. The first aircraft of this last production block was handed over to the JASDF on February 28th 1959; the last aircraft delivered - and very last F-86 Sabre built - was delivered on February 24th 1961.

(Under the JASDF numbering scheme, aircraft from the 62- serial block were accepted into service in 1956; 72- in 1957, etc.)

In all, 480 F-86Fs were delivered to the JASDF: 10 USAF-surplus F-86F-25-NHs; 20 USAF-surplus F-86F-30-NAs; 150 North American-built F-86F-40-NAs (of which 45 were returned to the USAF without being used); and 300 Mitsubishi-built F-86F-40-MITs. These aircraft were used to equip 17 Squadrons of the JASDF, these being the JASDF GHQ Squadron at Iruma; 103rd, 201st and 203rd Squadrons of the 2nd Fighter Wing at Chitose; the 101st, 102nd and 105th Squadrons of the 3rd Fighter Wing at Matsushima; the 5th and 7th Squadrons of the 4th Fighter Wing at Matsushima; the 4th and 205th Squadrons of the 6th Fighter Wing at Komatsu; the 206th and 207th Squadrons of the 7th Fighter Wing at Hyakuri; the 202nd and 204th Squadrons of the 5th Fighter Wing at Nyutabaru; the 82nd Squadron at Iwakuni; and the 501th Squadron of Reconnaissance Command at Iruma, the latter unit using a mixture of F-86F fighters and RF-86F reconnaissance fighters.

From 1959 onwards, the F-86F-40s of the JASDF were modified so they could carry the Philco-Ford GAR-8 (AIM-9B) Sidewinder.

The F-86Fs of the JASDF were supplemented by the F-86D Sabre Dog in the night/all weather interceptor role from 1957 onwards; from 1964 onwards numerous of the F-86F units started converting to the Lockheed/Mitsubishi F-104J Starfighter. Even so, the Japanese F-86F was destined for a very long service life, remaining in service as a combat trainer long after they had been replaced in front-line service. The very last JASDF F-86F-40 was withdrawn from active service on March 15th 1982. As the JASDF F-86Fs had been procured under the MDAP program, the aircraft nominally remained USAF property even during their JASDF service; following their retirement many of these aircraft were returned to USAF control and 'returned' to the United States, where most were converted to unmanned QF-86F target drones.

The livery of the in-game aircraft is that of 02-7960 (USAF 57-6417), which was accepted into service on June 29th 1960, and served with the JASDF 'Blue Impulse' display team. Following its withdrawal from service in March of 1982, the aircraft was put on display at the JASDF Museum at Hamamatsu Air Base, Japan.

{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese motor torpedo gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]]. It is a fast, powerful and very agile fighting ship!

The PG 02 could be compared to a piranha; it's very fast, nimble and agile with speeds up to 129 km/h in Arcade and 96 km/h in Realistic battles. Equipped with a very deadly 6-barrel 20 mm JM61 rotary cannon with 3,000 rounds of ammunition, mounted on the deck and a Mark 36 SRBOC decoy system with 12 rounds!

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}


* No armour installed, but the ship is entirely constructed from steel with thicknesses up to 8 mm.
* A low crew count of 11 sailors.

This ship has a high profile, it does not have the sleek and stealthy appearance of the [[Jaguar-Klasse (140)]] or the [[Pr.1124 (1940)]]. It is also possible to get stuck in low ceiling caves. It offers higher top speed, far more spacious internal design, faster acceleration and a steel construction, unlike the Jaguar-Klasse (140) which is made from a wooden construction and is sightly slower.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

A PG 02 uses a sleek hydrofoil design, which allows the ship to gain this vast speed. Another advantage of the hydrofoil design on this particular ship is, enemy torpedoes can pass under it when in the broadside position, since the hull of the ship floats above the water, like a cloud in the sky.

The manoeuvrability of this ship is good. It's extremely fast in a straight line, provides good handling and responds well to sudden movements. With maps which have mud & sandbanks, coral reefs or underwater objects the hydrofoil will get the ship stuck on them. It's incredibly important to be vigilant in the surroundings.

For example: if the cap zone is near an island make sure to slow down and stay away from the shoreline or risk running aground and becoming an easy target for enemy vessels.

{{main|JM61 (20 mm)}}

The PG-02 carries a JM61 cannon, with a fire rate of 3,000 RPM or 450 RPM with the 'Autocannon' modification, but you would be foolish to do so. With APDS rounds available to this rotary, the 3,000 RPM option chews up just about every boat, and can even be used to decent effect against destroyers. Aiming for large ships' guns will allow you to freely gun them down. and the APDS will cut through most small ships, killing them within seconds. It's a fairly accurate gun, however it can bounce a lot in heavy waves and it's hard to lead with past 2.5 km, though your max range is around 3 km anyway so that shouldn't really be an issue.

=== Special armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Special}}

The 130 mm Mark 36 SRBOC decoy system is a short-range mortar which launches chaff into the air around the vessel. In-game it allows the captain to launch two smoke grenades in the air, which detonate above and on either side of the boat. However, there are currently no guided missiles to be confused by chaff and thus they operate as smoke grenades.

The system is armed with 6 volleys of 2 grenades, one off each side of the vessel aiming forward and can be seen in front of the bridge. The system is present on the vessel even if the modification is not selected. By default, it is not bound to any key and thus is not available in-game unless a binding is set in the controls menu.

The smoke clouds in-game are less effective than the default smoke screen as their coverage area is more limited and gaps can remain in the smokescreen allowing an enemy to continue tracking the screening vessel.

=== Additional armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Additional}}
''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.''

== Usage in battles ==

The PG 02 only has one gun. If the gun is knocked out in battle, or has to reload, the ship does not have anything else to use to defend itself in combat. However the JM61 20 mm rotary cannon is able to destroy enemy ships rapidly with ease, the APDS rounds making short work of enemy ships.

Using the JM61 it has two firing options, with or without the ''Autocannon'' modification. The modification prevents the gun from overheating by limiting the gun to fire at a slower rate of 450 rounds per minute. Without the modification, the gun can overheat very quickly. To reduce this, fire using a one to two-second burst and allow at least one second to cool down after firing the burst. This reduces the overheating, by allowing it to cool down to a controllable level which in the long term allows for more ships to be destroyed at a faster pace.

It's very important to note that the ammunition can be consumed rapidly, the cannon was designed to fire 3,000 rounds per minute! It requires up to 23 seconds to reload and the fastest reload with an ace crew qualification is 20 seconds. It's very important to make every burst count, for example targeting other torpedo ships, the fastest way to sink them is to aim for the torpedoes which will detonate and cause the enemy ship to explode and sink!

One of the additional valuable advantages the PG 02 has is its radar. The radar is able to identify and direct you towards the enemy units.

Dealing with larger targets such as Armoured Gun Boats, these are heavily armoured and pack powerful cannons, which can easily destroy the PG 02 in a single shot with a well placed HE round.

The best way to knock these floating sea tanks out is to use APDS rounds and target the following critical elements:

* Ammo storage
* Engine room
* Superstructure

It is also possible to encounter some destroyers. The PG 02 can be easy destroyed by a destroyer at any range. It's important to note that the PG 02 will be unlikely to sink a destroyer, thought it may be able to cause a substantial amount of damage to it. However to do this, close range is needed, aim for the turrets and knock them out first, then the torpedo tubes - if the destroyer sees this ship approaching, it will lock on and destroy it.

* Any ship with a large calibre cannon is a major threat, it's best to avoid these ships unless their main armament can be taken out quickly or at range.

Aircraft pose a major threat to this ship. Since it lacks any armour even the smallest calibre rounds are able to cause critical damage. When an enemy aircraft is detected, use the decoy system to cover the surroundings in smoke and hide until it has moved onto a new target. However, the PG 02 is able to take down enemy aircraft, rapidly fire a short quick burst and aim for critical elements: engine, flight deck and wing spars. The enemy aircraft will soon be diving into the clear water.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Boasts a 20 mm rotary cannon that fires at 3,000 RPM, allowing swift and easy destruction of targets
* Boasts excellent top speed and manoeuvrability
* Can easily disable armaments on larger ships, such as destroyers and gunboats, in rapid succession
* Survivability rating is high - there are empty spaces in the hull which can absorb multitude amount of small-medium projectiles

'''Cons:'''

* 20 mm rotary cannon can easily overheat and jam if fired for too long
* Hydrofoils diminish agility when traversing over shallow areas, such as islands and rock embankments. It will stagnate your speed, causing you to get permanently stuck in them
* HE shells will set the boat on fire
* Can be hullbroken by larger calibre guns it often meets

== History ==

The PG 02 No. 822 was laid down on 25th March 1991, launched on 17th July 1992 and commissioned into the Japanese Maritime Self Defence force in March of the following year. It would stay in active service until 6th June 2010.

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese heavy cruiser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]].

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

The IJN Mogami is one of the most well protected cruisers in the game, with 140 mm of RHA covering the entire front and rear ammunition stowages, 100 mm of RHA protecting the engine compartment, 105 mm of RHA bulkheads, though this will NOT stop other heavy cruisers from ammoracking you if you do not angle. The ship has 910 crew which is just mediocre for a heavy cruiser. The major downside of this ship is its extremely thin (25.4 mm) turret armour so users will have a hard time dealing with HE spam from US destroyers and light cruisers.

=== Mobility ===


{{NavalMobility}}

The ship can reach a max speed of 64 km/h (RB), with the complete rudder's turning time of 4.05 seconds (aced crew) which is one of the best for heavy cruisers.

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

{{main|20 cm/50 3rd year type No.2 (203 mm)}}

The IJN Mogami is equipped with 5 turrets of dual 20 cm/50 3rd year type No.2 cannons, reload time: 13.94s (stock crew) and 12s (aced crew).

'''Ammunition:'''

* 20.3 cm Type 0 HE (HE): maximum penetration: 61 mm; 8.57 kg of TNT equivalent explosive filler.
* 20.3 cm Type 91 AP (APBC): maximum penetration: 365 mm; 3.25 kg of TNT equivalent explosive filler
* 20.3 cm Type 0 HE-TF (HE-TF): maximum penetration: 61 mm; 8.57 kg of TNT equivalent explosive filler.

=== Secondary armament ===

{{main|5 inch/40 Type 89 (127 mm)}}

The ship is fitted with four turrets of dual 5 inch/40 (127 mm) Type 89 cannons capable of long range AA work and anti patrol boat duties.

'''Ammunition:'''

* 127 mm HE: maximum penetration: 25 mm; 1.96 kg of TNT equivalent explosive filler.
* 127 mm Type 1 HE-TF: maximum penetration: 28 mm; 2.31 kg of TNT equivalent explosive filler.

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===

{{main|25 mm/60 Type 96 (25 mm)|Type 93 (13.2 mm)}}

The ship is also fitted with four dual-mount 25 mm Type 96 cannons and two dual-mount 13.2 mm Type 93 machine guns.

=== Torpedo armament ===

{{main|Type 93 Model 1, Mod 2 (610 mm)}}

Four triple-mount 610 mm Type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo launchers, with two on each side. Altogether, the IJN Mogami carries 24 torpedoes total.

== History ==

Development of the Mogami-class cruiser dates back to the early 1930s, when the IJN launched its development as part of a naval rearmament program. Wishing to substantially strengthen their navy's cruisers, the IJN high command ordered for a new design to be drawn up which would practically reach the very limits of the London Naval Treaty in effect at the time.

The new warship was initially set at a displacement of 8,500 tons and was to be armed with fifteen 155mm guns, spread across five triple turrets. However, even at the design stage it was already clear that the real displacement would significantly exceed this limit and would be around 11,000 tons so it was decided to conceal the true data. In December of 1934, Japan denounced the Washington Agreements, and refused to sign the Second London Treaty in January of 1936. As a result, in the period between 1939 and 1940 all cruisers of the Mogami type underwent reconstruction, in which the main weapons were replaced by ten 203-mm guns in five turrets, the ships were then formally reclassified as heavy cruisers.

Nonetheless, Mogami-class cruisers raised concerns with other naval powers, some simply dismissed their design specifications as being false, while others, such as the U.S., began building counterparts of their own. Four Mogami-class heavy cruisers took part in several major operations during WW2, including the Battle of Midway, Leyte Gulf and many others. All ships of the class were lost in combat between June 1942 - November 1944.

* Features the same hull as the Mogami heavy cruiser; able to withstand a fair amount of enemy fire before sinking
* Lots of guns (5 turrets with 3 guns in each turret)
* 24 Long Lance torpedoes

'''Cons:'''

* Like most Japanese cruisers, very weak anti aircraft armament
* Wide hull makes evading enemy torpedoes difficult as it takes some time to maneuver the ship
* Torpedo arcs are limited, have to show almost full broadside to launch torpedoes. Better rear angles than forward.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese frigate {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately.

=== Mobility ===
''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.''

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

{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}

Chikugo carries two 3 inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. The turret is placed at the front of the ship and can effectively cover the front and sides of your vessel, but is unable to react to enemies from the rear. HE shells can take care of unarmoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed within a few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind that it is a 76 mm multi-purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for use in AA roles.

=== Secondary armament ===

{{main|Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)}}

40 mm Bofors in twin installation is very capable weapon placed on back of Chikugo so it have natural blind spot in front of ship. This means that you can't completely rely on AI as anti-aircraft armament nor its help with naval targets. If you ignore that, its powerful weapon that can shoot down aircrafts within seconds and can be used as backup against motorboats that are trying to sneak up on you from behind.

=== Torpedo armament ===

{{main|12.75 inch Mark 46 (324 mm)}}

Two torpedo launchers each able to release three torpedoes are installed on each side of the ship. This means only three torpedoes can be released to each side. They have mediocre 7.3 km range but excellent speed of 91 km/h (one of the best in-game). They are pretty small and don't have much explosive compared to other torpedoes at this rank but will give hard time to any ship they hit.

== Usage in battles ==

Chikugo uses the destroyer spawn but don't be fooled, it can't compete with the firepower of other destroyers at long range. The best way to stay alive is to focus on motor boats and sub-chasers and avoid any contact with destroyers even if it takes more time to get there. Then it's best to stay little back and use the excellent mid-range capabilities of your main armament. If you ever have to encounter destroyers, it should be at close range and you should give them everything you have, meaning main cannon with AP or HE shells, secondary Bofors with AP belt, and torpedoes. Try to hit lethal parts like cannons or ammunition with AP shells or you can try to get rid of his crew with HE shells.

On the other hand, the main gun can load high explosive shells with time variable fuse, when combined with functional radar and secondary armament you will be a nightmare to every pilot.

HE shells can take care of unarmoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed within a few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers, you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind that it is a 76 mm multi-purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for use in AA roles as there is not any secondary armament you can rely on.

=== Torpedo armament ===

''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.''

=== Special armament ===

{{main|Mark 108 Weapon alfa|Mk.6 mortar depth charge}}

As one of special armaments, this ship carry Mark 108 Weapon alfa without any upgrades. This is an anti-submarine rocket, but in-game you can only use it for close range combat against ships. It shoot RUR-4 rockets that have a speed of 306 km/h and carry 113 kg of TNT, which is equal to small torpedoes. The biggest disadvantage is the range, which is only 800 m especially, combined with the fact that fast boats can easily dodge these rockets. Blind spot in front of the ship (thanks to main armament turret) makes this weapon very situational.

After unlocking the "Bomb mortar" upgrade, you can equip 2 x Mk. 6 depth charges which are projected from mortars. These weapons have an extremely limited range (only a few hundred meters off each side of the ship) and would only be used during a close-in brawl. Keep in mind that the depth charges do take a few seconds to fly through the air and sink before they detonate, so be aware of timing their firing. Each Mk. 6 depth charge has an explosive charge of 136 kg TNT, which will obliterate any small craft and deal significant damage to a larger ship.

== Usage in battles ==

Isuzu has upgraded forepower from its in-game predecessor [[Chikugo]] but it shares the same imperfections of not very long-range and small calibre compared to opponents you will meet. That means you should stick to the same tactics that work for Chikugo, such as not attempting to battle against long-range destroyers and rather focusing on boats and sub-chasers. You should not take this ship into late game as there isn't any anti-air armament and you will be easy prey for bombers that can overwhelm you if coming from different directions.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* 6 x 203 mm cannons allow the Kako to compete against other ships effectively
* Very durable against destroyers

'''Cons:'''

* Torpedo launchers are fixed, unable to be traversed without moving the hull
* Guns have a slow traverse speed

== History ==


Created as a counter to the American Omaha and British Hawkins class cruisers, the Furutaka class was designed to act as a scouting cruiser capable of protecting the main fleet from enemy scouts. While the ship was designed before the Washington Naval Treaty, she still fell within the displacement and calibre limits with 7,500 tons of displacement and the main armament of six 7.9 in/20 cm cannons mounted in single turrets; she also had a torpedo armament of 12 x 21-inch torpedo tubes mounted in the hull. These armaments would change as both Furutaka and Kako were modernized shortly after being completed, with their single mounted guns being replaced with three twin turrets and two quad-torpedo launchers being added near the aft.

During the first months of the Pacific War against the United States, Kako was assigned to Sentai 6 and tasked in covering the invasions of several islands including Guam, Wake, and New Guinea. Sentai 6 was then assigned to Operation MO, the invasion of Port Morseby, and partook in the Battle of the Coral Sea on May 7, 1942. Their next major action would not be until August, but would also be their largest. Kako and Sentai 6 had been assigned to the new Eighth Fleet. In response to the American invasion of Guadalcanal, the Eighth Fleet sortied out to counter the invasion force. On the night of August 8-9, 1942, Kako and the fleet of 4 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and a destroyer surprised the Allied Fleet in a night attack off Savo Island.

Fighting at close ranges with searchlights, flares, and star shells, Japanese naval artillery devastated the Allied fleet, sinking 4 heavy cruisers and forcing the American support ships to abandon the Marines on the island. While the battle was a stunning victory for the Japanese, they failed to sink any of the landing ships and fled the area for fear of retaliation from American carrier planes; However, it was the American submarine S-44 who got revenge. On August 10, while the Eighth fleet was returning to Rabaul, the S-44 fired four torpedoes at Kako, scoring three hits. The Kako quickly took on a list before her boilers detonated, sinking the cruiser but only taking 68 sailors with her. Kako was struck from the Japanese Naval list a month later.

Saetta P-494

2020-10-21T20:15:23Z

U6133915: /* Armament */

{{Specs-Card|code=it_p494_saetta}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Italian motor torpedo gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]]. As of [[Update "Starfighters"]], it is the only naval vessel in the game to be equipped with guided weapons.

== General info ==
[[File:Saetta Screenshot 1.jpg|thumb|Saetta sails into battle]]

=== Survivability and armour ===


The only armour on this vehicle surrounds the two 40 mm main cannons, which can be useful for keeping the guns operational when coming under fire. However, the rest of the vehicle has no armour protection.

The Saetta can survive a number of hits when dealing with gunboats, but higher-calibre cannons such as those on destroyers will have no trouble sinking it.

The hull of this vessel is made up of 8 mm of steel, and the superstructure is made up of 4 mm of steel.

=== Mobility ===


{{NavalMobility}}

The Saetta has the highest top speed of any non-premium tier 2 Italian boat. With such speed, it is often able to reach desirable locations on the map before the enemy is able to.

== Armament ==
[[File:Type 107 Screenshot.jpg|thumb|The front 40mm mounting on the Saetta]]

=== Primary armament ===

{{main|40 mm/70 Breda-Bofors type 107 (40 mm)}}


The Main armament on the Saetta is a Pair of '''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/>''40mm/70 Breda-Bofors Type 107 Cannons,''''' ''one at the bow and one at the stern, these guns have access to two ammunition belt types, '''''<nowiki/>'''<nowiki/>'High Explosive Fragmentation Incendiary tracers belts'<nowiki/>'' or ''<nowiki/>'High Explosive variable time fuse belts, the latter of which has a 7m trigger radius making it quite useful for dealing enemy aircraft, especially when they are at relatively close range.

Both turrets have a full 360° arc of horizontal rotation and traverse at 95°/second, certainly fast enough to keep up with most surface and air targets. These guns are protected by some armour which will aid in keeping them operational against enemy fire, although this is the only armour on the whole vessel.

=== Special armament ===

{{main|Nettuno}}
[[File:Nettuno Missile GIF.gif|thumb|Nettuno Missile]]


The Secondary armament on the Saetta is the '''Nettuno (Sea Killer Mk.1)''' missile, these missiles have a range of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) with a max velocity of 280m/s and carry a warhead with just over 25kg of TNT equivalent, these also feature a proximity fuse making them ideal for engaging enemy air units as well as their usual anti ship-role.

The missiles are carried in a five-round launcher just behind the Saetta’s bridge and smoke funnel structure which does mean that the launcher cannot be aimed towards the bow but rather has a 260 degree turning arc of which it navigates at a speed of 11 degrees per second.

== Usage in battles ==
[[File:Saetta Screenshot 4.jpg|thumb|Saetta fires a Nettuno missile, has a user skin https://live.warthunder.com/post/912798/en/]]

The guided missiles are the Saetta's most unique feature. This missile can be used to attack ships quite effectively (usually it can destroy a smaller vessel in one hit), and is also very capable of destroying enemy aircraft, thanks to its proximity fuse. When using the missile, remember that the launcher cannot point directly forwards, and that the enemy must be near the sides or rear of the vessel before a firing solution is achieved. Also keep in mind that the missile is not very fast (280m/s), and that it can take a considerable amount of time to reach the target.

As for the main cannons, the Saetta's 40 mm Bofors are great for dealing with smaller boats. They can be used to sink destroyers, but it will usually take a considerable length of time to do so. The Saetta is equipped with a radar, and has a lead indicator for use in an anti-air role. The lead indicator, when used with the vehicle's 40 mm cannons, makes dealing with aircraft a breeze.

This vessel has quite a high top speed, and is often able to reach favourable positions on the map before the enemy. This speed can also be used to help the vessel outflank the enemy and take them by surprise.

Since the Saetta is unable to survive more than a few hits from an enemy destroyer, it is recommended to stay away from their firing lines, and to keep to cover if possible. Certainly, it is almost never a good idea to engage an enemy destroyer at ranges above one or two kilometres.

== History ==
[[File:Saetta Screenshot 2.jpg|thumb|Saetta firing a Nettuno missile, user skin: https://live.warthunder.com/post/912798/en/]]
''

The Saetta is a MC590 (Freccia class) motor gun boat, this series was an evolution of the earlier Lampo class which itself was a development of the MC490 Folgore. The Saetta is the second ship of the Freccia class, being laid down after the Freccia P-493 and before the never completed Dardo P-495. After its launch in 1965 the Saetta was outfitted and entered service with the Italian Navy on the 25th April 1966, In the same year as its commissioning the centrally mounted 40mm turret was replaced with a five round launcher for the Nettuno (Later called Sea Killer Mk.1) Anti Ship Missile, these missiles were carried onboard until the mid 1970's after which the main role of the Saetta (P-494) and its sister ship Freccia (P-493) had be taken over by the Sparviero class patrol boats of which more were available, with 7 in active service at the time, with less demand for the use of the two ships the Freccia was decommissioned on the 15th of February 1985 and the Saetta on the 15th of May 1986.

=== Torpedo armament ===

{{main|Type 93 Model 1, Mod 2 (610 mm)}}

The IJN Tone is capable of carrying 24 Long Lance torpedoes in 4 sets of 3, 2 per side. Each torpedo tube has an onboard quick reload, so 12 torpedoes can be launched per side before needing to reload in a capture zone or port. One notable characteristic about the torpedo launchers is that the aft sets have better forward firing angles than the fore sets, but the forward angles still aren't particularly incredible. However, all the sets have good rearward firing angles.

As the torpedoes are Long Lances, they can detonate if they are hit and will destroy the IJN Tone nearly 100% of the time. Essentially they are completely unarmored ammunition racks. Conversely if an enemy ship is hit with a Long Lance, there is a high likelihood of destroying it outright or sinking it via flooding.

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

{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}

Isuzu carries four 3-inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. The turrets are placed at the front and back of the ship and can effectively cover your vessel from all sides. HE shells can take care of unarmoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed within a few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers, you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind that it is a 76 mm multi-purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for use in AA roles as there is not any secondary armament you can rely on.

=== Torpedo armament ===

[[File:Isuzu_torpedo_deadzone.png|350px|thumb|right|Deadzones for torpedo launcher on Isuzu]]
{{main|Type 89 (533 mm)}}

The rotary torpedo launcher with four tubes is located in middle of the ship. This gives you the ability to release them to both sides, although the launcher can't rotate a full 360° so sometimes it have to make almost whole revolution to rotate to other side. As many ships with this kind of launcher, it has blind spots at the front and back of the ship. When you want to release a torpedo, you have to expose your profile to the enemy. On other hand, these four torpedoes have maximum speed of 102 km/h and range of 38 km, which makes them best torpedo in-game in these two characteristics. They also carry 267 kg of TNT which is not the best but still deadly.

=== Special armament ===

{{main|Mark 108 Weapon alfa|Mk.6 mortar depth charge}}

As one of special armaments, this ship carry Mark 108 Weapon alfa without any upgrades. This is an anti-submarine rocket, but in-game you can only use it for close range combat against ships. It shoot RUR-4 rockets that have a speed of 306 km/h and carry 113 kg of TNT, which is equal to small torpedoes. The biggest disadvantage is the range, which is only 800 m especially, combined with the fact that fast boats can easily dodge these rockets. Blind spot in front of the ship (thanks to main armament turret) makes this weapon very situational.

After unlocking the "Bomb mortar" upgrade, you can equip 2 x Mk. 6 depth charges which are projected from mortars. These weapons have an extremely limited range (only a few hundred meters off each side of the ship) and would only be used during a close-in brawl. Keep in mind that the depth charges do take a few seconds to fly through the air and sink before they detonate, so be aware of timing their firing. Each Mk. 6 depth charge has an explosive charge of 136 kg TNT, which will obliterate any small craft and deal significant damage to a larger ship.

== Usage in battles ==

Isuzu has upgraded forepower from its in-game predecessor [[Chikugo]] but it shares the same imperfections of not very long-range and small calibre compared to opponents you will meet. That means you should stick to the same tactics that work for Chikugo, such as not attempting to battle against long-range destroyers and rather focusing on boats and sub-chasers. You should not take this ship into late game as there isn't any anti-air armament and you will be easy prey for bombers that can overwhelm you if coming from different directions.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese frigate {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine.

=== Mobility ===
''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.''

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

{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}

Chikugo carries two 3 inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. The turret is placed at the front of the ship and can effectively cover the front and sides of your vessel, but is unable to react to enemies from the rear. HE shells can take care of unarmoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed within a few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind that it is a 76 mm multi-purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for use in AA roles.

=== Secondary armament ===

{{main|Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)}}

40 mm Bofors in twin installation is very capable weapon placed on back of Chikugo so it have natural blind spot in front of ship. This means that you can't completely rely on AI as anti-aircraft armament nor its help with naval targets. If you ignore that, its powerful weapon that can shoot down aircrafts within seconds and can be used as backup against motorboats that are trying to sneak up on you from behind.

=== Torpedo armament ===

{{main|12.75 inch Mark 46 (324 mm)}}

Two torpedo launchers each able to release three torpedoes are installed on each side of the ship. This means only three torpedoes can be released to each side. They have mediocre 7.3 km range but excellent speed of 91 km/h (one of the best in-game). They are pretty small and don't have much explosive compared to other torpedoes at this rank but will give hard time to any ship they hit.

== Usage in battles ==

Chikugo uses the destroyer spawn but don't be fooled, it can't compete with the firepower of other destroyers at long range. The best way to stay alive is to focus on motor boats and sub-chasers and avoid any contact with destroyers even if it takes more time to get there. Then it's best to stay little back and use the excellent mid-range capabilities of your main armament. If you ever have to encounter destroyers, it should be at close range and you should give them everything you have, meaning main cannon with AP or HE shells, secondary Bofors with AP belt, and torpedoes. Try to hit lethal parts like cannons or ammunition with AP shells or you can try to get rid of his crew with HE shells.

On the other hand, the main gun can load high explosive shells with time variable fuse, when combined with functional radar and secondary armament you will be a nightmare to every pilot.

=== In-game description ===
The Yak-9 was a Soviet single-engine fighter of the WWII era. It was the first combat aircraft designed by Alexander Yakovlev's construction bureau. The most mass-produced Soviet fighter of the war, it remained in production from October 1942 to December 1948, with a total of 16,769 built.

The Yak-9 was a further modification of the Yak-1 and Yak-7. In its core design, it was a redesign of the Yak-7. With few external differences, Yak-9 was at the same time much more advanced internally. This is not unexpected, as almost two years of design and combat experience of the Yak series went into the Yak-9. Also, at the time aluminium was in much greater supply than it had been two years previously at the start of the war. Amongst other things, the use of metal allowed the plane’s weight to be significantly reduced, meaning that more fuel could be stored and that the aircraft could be equipped with more powerful armament and more specialized equipment.

== Usage in the battles ==

The Ki-83 is truly an extraordinary aeroplane, boasting an often superior climb rate, top speed, and agility versus other propeller-driven aircraft. Ideally, all three would be utilised to bring the Ki-83 it's maximum effectiveness. The favoured tactic is to use the amazing rate of climb to get above your enemies. Upon take-off, pitch up into a 25 - 30-degree climb while using WEP. Once your engines begin to overheat (typically about 3,000 m) then decrease the throttle to 95% or 100% and continue at a 15 - 20-degree angle. A good altitude to level off at is anywhere from 6,500 m and upwards, but keep in mind other planes typically don't venture past 8,000 m. Once at your desired altitude, initiate Boom & Zoom attacks on any enemy aircraft beneath you. In the dive on the enemy aircraft, consider bringing the throttle to 90% or 85% instead of using WEP the entire way down to cool the engines. Don't worry, even without WEP the Ki-83 still dives like a beast. If you miss the initial pass, fret not! Simply increase the throttle back to the WEP setting and zoom climb away. If the enemy aircraft tries to follow you, execute some evasive rolls to throw off their aim, and then pull a hammerhead (once they have stalled out) by bringing the throttle to 0% and extending the landing flaps. Once the nose is pointed at the ground, retract the flaps and push the throttle back to 100%. Often, the enemy aircraft will not have had sufficient time to recover from the stall, and your 2 x 20 mm and 2 x 30 mms will make quick work of their aeroplane.

However, sometimes you will find yourself in a situation with an enemy on your 6. Now is the time to use one of the Ki-83's most surprising strengths -- its agility. Use a mixture of pitch changes (nosing up or down) and rolls to shake off the opponent's aim if they are diving on you to force them to overshoot. If you're lucky, you may even get a firing solution on them as they zoom away. Be cautious though, the late war props and jets that you will face at this BR can often out climb you if they had the energy advantage first.

Should a situation arise in which you need to dogfight an enemy, this is not the worst plane to be in for this scenario. Combat flaps can be deployed at speeds under 525 kph (352 mph), and landing flaps under 425 kph (265 mph). The Ki-83 shines most in a horizontal turning fight (especially with landing flaps deployed), as a vertical turning engagement can often bleed speed too fast and leave the Ki-83 a sitting duck to a plane that is more adept at vertical manoeuvres, such as a Spitfire.

When engaging bombers, be wary of their gunners and aim for their tails (to disable elevator control) and engines (to either break their wings, set their fuel on fire, or knock out engines). If you have the opportunity to engage the bomber head-on, take it. Aim for the pilots for a quick and easy pilot snipe. Do mind that the velocity on your 30 mm guns' tracer and standard high explosive shells are very different, the tracers have a speed of 920 m/s whereas the more effective ones have only 720, so aiming your tracers a little high can have better results than trying to land the visible shells on the target. This problem can be eliminated by mounting the all-tracers belt (made up exclusively of high explosive tracer rounds, which share the same ballistic properties and cause decent damage on hit (although less than the HE-F shells). Mounting the ground targets belt (in which all shells have the same speed, although 2 out of every 3 are much less effective against aircraft, particularly at range) or even the stealth belt, which is mostly comprised of shells sharing the same low velocity and lacks the misleading tracer phenomenon.

U6133915: Armament, Usage in battles, Pros and cons

{{Specs-Card|code=jp_destroyer_isuzu}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.95 "Northern Wind"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
''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.''

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}


Isuzu carries four 3 inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. The turrets are placed at the front and back of the ship and can effectively cover your vessel from all sides. HE shells can take care of unarmoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed within a few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind that it is a 76 mm multi-purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for use in AA roles as there is not any secondary armament you can rely on.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{main|Type 89 (533 mm)}}

[[File:Isuzu_torpedo_deadzone.png|350px|thumb|right|Deadzones for torpedo launcher on Isuzu]]
Rotary torpedo launcher with four tubes is located in middle of the ship. This gives you ability to release them to both sides although launcher cant rotate full 360° so sometimes it have to make almost whole revolution to rotate to other side. As many ships with this kind of launcher it have blind spot on front and back of the ship. When you want to release torpedo you have to expose your profile to the enemy.
On other hand, these four torpedoes have maximum speed of 102 km/h and range of 38 km which makes them best torpedo in-game in these two characteristics. They also carry 267 kg of TNT which is not the best but still deadly.

=== Special armament ===
{{main|Mark 108 Weapon alfa|Mk.6 mortar depth charge}}


As one of special armaments this ship carry Mark 108 Weapon alfa without any upgrades. This is anti submarine rocket but in game you can only use it for close range combat against ships. It shoot RUR-4 rockets that have speed of 306 km/h and carry 113 kg of TNT which is equal to small torpedoes that. Biggest disadvantage is range which is only 800 m especially kombined with fact that fast boats can easily dodge these rockets. Blind spot in front of the ship thanks to main armament turret makes this weapon very situational.

After unlocking the "Bomb mortar" upgrade you can equip 2 x Mk. 6 depth charges which are projected from mortars. These weapons have an extremely limited range (only a few hundred meters off each side of the ship) and would only be used during a close-in brawl. Keep in mind that the depth charges do take a few seconds to fly through the air and sink before they detonate, so be aware of timing their firing.
Each Mk. 6 depth charge has an explosive charge of 136 kg TNT which will obliterate any small craft and deal significant damage to a larger ship.

== 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 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).''

Isuzu have upgraded forepower from its in-game predecessor [[:Chikugo|Chikugo]] but it shares same imperfections as not very long-range and small caliber compared to opponents you will meet. That mean you should stick to same tactics that works for Chikugo. Like not going to long range battle against destroyers and rather focus on boats and sub chasers. You should not take this ship into late game as there isnt any anti-air armament and you will be easy prey for bombers that can overwhelm you if going from different directions.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''
* Can equip [[Type 89 (533 mm)]] torpedoes, the fastest and longest range torpedoes in-game
* Powerful armament for mid range combat

'''Cons:'''
* No secondary or anti-aircraft armament
* Very expensive (SL and RP) for its abilities
* Only destroyer spawn although its most effective against other subchasers

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

=== Comparison with analogues ===


* [[:120 mm/45 10th year type (120 mm)|120 mm/45 10th year type (120 mm)]] - Japanese cannon with same shell characteristics. Typically found on late war destroyers as secondary armament.
* [[:L45 (120 mm)|L45 (120 mm)]] - German cannon which is found on K-2 ships causing this ship to be one of most feared in its battle rating. It has a slower velocity of 808 m/s but makes up with a bigger explosive mass of 2.7 kg of TNT per shell.
* [[:4.7 inch/45 Mk.XII (120 mm)|4.7 inch/45 Mk.XII (120 mm)]] - British cannon typically found on destroyers. Comparable velocity to the L45, however, it packs a bigger explosive mass of 3 kg of TNT per shell.

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

=== Survivability and armour ===

== Armaments ==
=== Offensive armament ===

{{main|Ho-5 army (20 mm)|Ho-103 army (12.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 20 mm Ho-5 army cannons, nose-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
* 2 x 12.7 mm Ho-103 army machine guns, wing-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)

=== Suspended armament ===

{{main|Army Type 94 GPHE (50 kg)|Army Type 94 GPHE (100 kg)|Army Type 92 GPHE (250 kg)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

* Without load
* 2 x 50 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (100 kg total)
* 2 x 100 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (200 kg total)
* 2 x 250 kg Army Type 92 GPHE bombs (500 kg total)

== Usage in battles ==

This aircraft offers balanced performance characteristics that allow the pilot to choose how he wishes to fight in the Ki-100 and adapt to the combat situation as necessary. The performance of the Ki-100 is characterised by decent climb rate and manoeuvrability. The aircraft has good (but not the best) acceleration in a dive that makes it suitable for short range "boom and zoom" style attacks. The pilot should position the fighter around 1000 meters above a selected target, dive rapidly, fire a quick burst, and then pull away in a shallow climb to hold the plane's speed and escape. This is the safest way to conduct combat in the Ki-100, but there are other options available.

Against less manoeuvrable opponents, turn fighting can be a valid approach. Most German and American aircraft will not be able to out-turn you. However, turning combat is only advised when there are no other enemies around that could pounce on you while you are focused on your target. Do not manoeuvre for too long and avoid getting too slow, because your control surfaces will become less responsive. Then you will be a sitting duck for most other fighters.

With sufficient speed, the Ki-100 also has suitable energy retention characteristics for spiral climbs and other moves that can drain your opponent's energy. However, there are other fighters which are still superior in this regard.

Interceptors/Air defence: In higher altitudes you should be aware of this types of airplanes. They have good climb rate and speed but they are not very nimble. They will most likely try to head-on you and then run away. You can use nimble characteristics of your airplane to avoid this kind of attack. Most of them will not try to turn fight with you and you cant compete with your performance.

Bombers: You should avoid this kind of airplanes in higher altitudes or at least not engage them alone at start of match. Your low velocity cannons are not good enough for long range approach and going closer to them is dangerous gamble as Ki-100 is very fragile and vulnerable to fires.

Fighters: Thanks to your climb rate you will most of the time end up above them. That gives you very good opportunity for BnZ tactics. You should look after fighter that end up separated or those who are too focused chasing some of your teammates. This airplane also allow you to dog fight some of them but you should not end up in dog fight with lots of enemies since even small dose of fire can noticeably damage you. Low velocity armament also need skilled pilot against nimble opponents or in dog fights.

== Description ==


The '''18-inch Mark XII''', or simply '''Mark XII''', is a British torpedo. Although designed for use as a aerial launch torpedo, it is used on some early Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs), such as the [[MTB-1 1 series]].

{{Navigation-End}}

== General info ==

The Mark XII is a relatively early torpedo. Deigned for aerial use, it has a lower weight and explosive mass than some other torpedoes, however it is relatively fast in the water.

The naval version of the torpedo has an optional "Torpedo Mode" modification which reduces the range from 3.2 km to 1.37 km, but bumps up the speed by 5 kph, bringing it to 74 kph.

=== Effective damage ===

Like other torpedoes, when launched from a ship, the Mark XII can destroy just about anything smaller than a destroyer with a single hit (or even a near miss). It is possible for some destroyers to survive a hit from a ship launched Mark XII torpedo, and cruisers can almost always take multiple hits from a Mark XII without being destroyed (the torpedo will still start major fires and hull breaches, but won't instantly hull-break the ship).

Air launched Mark XIIs seem to be more powerful and can often destroy cruisers (of the player controlled variety) in a single hit.


=== Comparison with analogues ===

The closest comparison to the Mark XII (with regards to naval battles) is the German [[LT 1A/1]] (also a 45 cm torpedo found at reserve rank). By comparison, the Mark XII is much faster, however the German torpedo has a larger warhead. The Japanese [[Type 2]] (a 45 cm torpedo found on the Japanese reserve ship) is an all round better torpedo, being both faster and having a larger warhead.

Compared to the larger American [[Mk.8-3 C/D]] 53 cm torpedo (found at reserve rank), and German [[G7a]] the Mark XII has much better speed but a smaller warhead.

== Usage in battles ==

The Mark VII is relatively fast compared to other low rank torpedoes in naval battles and has a compatible range, allowing you to hit further away targets easier.

When dropped from aircraft the characteristics of the Mark XII are not ideal. You are required to drop below 105 m and decrease your speed to below 281 kph.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''
* Good speed
* OK range

'''Cons:'''
* Poor airdrop characteristics
* Below average explosive mass

== History ==


The Mark XII was designed in 1935 (and entered service in 1937) as an aerial torpedo for use by the Fleet Air Arm and RAF Coastal Command. It was a development of the 18-inch Mark XI, which had a larger 211 kg warhead (compared to 176 kg on the Mark XII), but a shorter 2,300 m range and lower speed of 35 knots (65 kph). The Mark XII reduced the warhead size, but increased the speed and range to 69 kph at 3,000 m range or 74 kph at 1,400 m range.

The torpedo was 4.95 m long, 450 cm wide and weighed 702 kg. It was powered by a 140 hp burner-cycle engine.

U6133915: Correction

{{Specs-Card|code=jp_escort_chikugo_class}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese sub-chaser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
''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.''

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}


Chikugo carries two 3 inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. Turret is placed on front of the ship and can effectively cover front and sides of your vessel. Blindspot is back of the ship as its natural for armaments placed on front. HE shells of 76 mm diameter can take care of no armoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed with few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind it is 76 mm multi purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for AA role same as in other ships.

=== Secondary armament ===
{{main|Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)}}


40 mm Bofors in twin installation is very capable weapon placed on back of Chikugo so it have natural blind spot in front of ship. This mean that you can't completely rely on AI as anti-aircraft armament nor its help with naval targets. If you ignore that, its powerful weapon that can shoot down aircrafts within seconds and can be used as backup against motorboats that are trying to sneak up on you from back.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{main|12.75 inch Mark 46 (324 mm)}}


Two torpedo launchers capable to release three torpedoes are installed on sides of ship. This means only three torpedoes can be released to each side. They have mediocre 7.3 km range but excellent speed of 91 km/h (one of best in game). They are pretty small and dont have much explosive compared to other torpedoes at this rank range but will give hard time to any ship they will hit.

== Usage in battles ==


Chikugo use destroyer spawn but don't get fooled, it's not capable to encounter other destroyer on long range. You cant compete with firepower and range of their cannons. Best way to stay alive is focus on motor boats and sub chasers and avoid any contact with destroyers even if it take more time to go to boat zone. Then it’s best to stay little back and use excellent mid-range capabilities of your main armament. If you ever have to encounter destroyers, it should be on close range and you should give them everything you have. That mean main cannon with AP or HE shells, secondary Bofors with AP belt and torpedoes. Then try to hit lethal parts like cannons or ammunition with AP shells or you can try to get rid of his crew with HE shells.
On other hand main gun can load high explosive shells with time variable fuse, when combined with functional radar and secondary armament you will be nightmare to every pilot.

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''
* Able to equip AP shells
* Secondary armament is capable against all kind of targets

'''Cons:'''
* Very expensive (SL and RP) for its rank

U6133915: Armament, Usage in battles, Pros

{{Specs-Card|code=jp_type_11_pt_15}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a rank {{specs|rank}} Japanese motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips for preserving survivability in the "Use in battle" section.''

''If necessary, use a graphics template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
''Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.''

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{Main|Bofors L/60 Mark 3 (40 mm)}}


Each Bofors gun is placed on front and back of boat. That mean both of them have big natural blind spot.
These are most effective when being used against small craft such as torpedo boats, motor gunboats, minesweepers and submarine chasers. In its BR class, it is possible to face larger threats including destroyers which will mostly be unharmed by this gunfire. Aircraft are also excellent targets and can be brought down with accurate fire. You can load Universal belt, HE belt or AP belt. Usage of these belts are similar to lower rank boats; Universal is good for start but later you should stick to HE or AP by what kind of target you encounter. Downside of primary armament is that they can overheat if you fire for too long.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{Main|Mk.16 (533 mm)}}


This ship is armed with four Mk. 16 torpedoes on its side. They are offset on slight angle so you can't release all four of them at once on one target. Mk.16 torpedo have good speed of 85 km/h and 6.4 km range should be enough for close and mid range combat between islands. True advantage of Mk.16 is 915 kilograms of TNT which is second highest in game and highest used on torpedo boats.

== Usage in battles ==


Usage of this boat is similar to Type [[:Type T-38|T-38]]. You have very capable armament against other boats but that's about it. Type 11 is fairly big compared to other boats and mobility isn't its strong side either. Good way to engage opponents is to stay back and use your fairly powerful armament against them. Downside of weapon placement is that if you want to use your maximum firepower you have to show your profile to enemy. Try to look for islands and corridors where you will be hidden from high caliber long range cannons and ships with big armament that are common on this rank. You should not even try to engage bigger ships with cannons on open space as they will notice you due to your size and can give you critical or fatal damage with single shot. Using torpedoes is very situational. Only way to use them is sneak around islands and give surprise for destroyers that decided to go into boat zone.
In anti-aircraft role you have to rely on yourself as this boat doesn't have any secondary or AA armament. Although Bofors guns can be very effective against airplanes you should focus on ships which are bigger threat for you.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Primary armament is effective with skill
* 4 torpedoes with excellent explosive mass

'''Cons:'''

* No secondary or AA weapons
* Very vulnerable, easy to be one shot by high caliber guns
* Relative big size to other torpedo boats
* When using both Bofors guns, the boat will expose its large profile to the enemy

{{Break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese sub-chaser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine.

=== Mobility ===
''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.''

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{main|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)}}


Chikugo carries two 3 inch Mk.33 automatic cannons in twin installation. Turret is placed on front of the ship and can effectively cover front and sides of your vessel. Blindspot is back of the ship as its natural for armaments placed on front. HE shells of 76 mm diameter can take care of no armoured targets especially motor boats which can be destroyed with few shots. For armoured targets and destroyers you can choose AP shells but you still have to keep in mind its 76 mm multi purpose cannon. HE-VT shells are good for AA role same as in other ships.

=== Secondary armament ===
{{main|Bofors L/60 Mark 1 (40 mm)}}


40 mm Bofors in twin installation is very capable weapon placed on back of Chikugo so it have natural blind spot in front of ship. This mean that you can't completely rely on AI as anti-aircraft armament nor its help with naval targets. If you ignore that, its powerful weapon that can shoot down aircrafts within seconds and can be used as backup against motorboats that are trying to sneak up on you from back.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{main|12.75 inch Mark 46 (324 mm)}}


Two torpedo launchers capable to release three torpedoes are installed on sides of ship. This means only three torpedoes can be released to each side. They have mediocre 7.3 km range but excellent speed of 91 km/h (one of best in game). They are pretty small and dont have much explosive compared to other torpedoes at this rank range but will give hard time to any ship they will hit.

== Usage in battles ==


Chikugo use destroyer spawn but don't get fooled, it's not capable to encounter other destroyer on long range. You cant compete with firepower and range of their cannons. Best way to stay alive is focus on motor boats and sub chasers and avoid any contact with destroyers even if it take more time to go to boat zone. Then it’s best to stay little back and use excellent mid-range capabilities of your main armament. If you ever have to encounter destroyers, it should be on close range and you should give them everything you have. That mean main cannon with AP shells, secondary Bofors with AP belt and torpedoes. Then try to hit lethal parts like cannons or ammunition.
On other hand main gun can load high explosive shells with time variable fuse, when combined with functional radar and secondary armament you will be nightmare to every pilot.

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''
* Able to equip AP shells
* Secondary armament is capable against all kind of targets

'''Cons:'''
* Very expensive (SL and RP) for its rank
* Only destroyer spawn althought its most effective against other subchasers
* Not able to release all torpedoes to one side
* Aiming with secondary armament can be difficult due to convergence of bridge and weapon

Hello, I've been using the Mobility Template [[Template:TankMobility]] lately but I've noticed a lot of discrepancies between in-game values and the wiki. Examples:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" width="30%"

|-
| Centauro ROMOR || 28.0t || 30.0t
|-
| Ariete (P) || 53.0t || 53.8t
|}
Is there a way to correct that?
: Hello. The R3 T106 FA discrepancy is due to a difference in rounding strategies between the wiki and the game. Any values that are automatically inserted and seem to be off by +- 1 on the last digit are likely just rounding errors, and I'm not sure how much can be done to remedy them. As for the other values, I will see if we can get the database maintainer to check/correct the values. Could you check your values for M4 Tipo IC, as they don't seem to agree with either the game or the wiki. -[[User:U38088265|U38088265]] ([[User talk:U38088265|talk]]) 22:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

== Naval weapons charts ==

Few days back I added Penetration statistics and Shell details to [[:3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)|3 inch Mk.33 (76 mm)]]. I want to ask If that is right way or I should add it directly to correct armament section on vehicle page that is using it? Same like tanks. Thanks
