== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] as part of the fleet closed beta test.

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


The S-100, like most low tier ships, has limited armour protection. The bridge is protected by 12 mm of hardened armour and the two rear turrets are similarly defended. None of the other components of the ship, such as the engines and fuel tanks, are protected.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-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.''

{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}
{{main|2 cm/65 C/38 (20 mm)|2 cm/65 Flakzwilling 38 (20 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. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}
{{main|3.7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 (37 mm)}}
''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-AA}}

{{main|MG 15 (7.92 mm)}}

One machine gun is mounted on either side of the bridge. Because of this, they have very limited traverse and are mostly ineffective against aircraft. However, they do have a high rate of fire.

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

{{main|G7a (533 mm)|EMF mine}}

The torpedo tubes are fixed to the hull of the ship so torpedoes must be aimed by changing the direction of the vessel. They have a maximum speed of 81 km/h.

== Usage in battles ==

The S-100 shares the same hull and playstyle as the S-38b. The key differences is the 3,7 cm auxiliary weapon and the limited AA firing angle. Although it's tempting to, turning broadside to use the centre-mounted dual cannons is ill-advised in most cases as the hull is fragile. Using speed to deliver surprise attacks and flanking lone enemies is the way to go, but never attack an group when outnumbered. Captains may find the S-100 an effective destroyer hunter with this ship's high speed and effective torpedoes.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Slightly faster than the S-38b when fully upgraded with same mobility
* Excellent fast-firing cannons with double the ammo capacity compared to its predecessor
* 3,7 cm cannon makes for an amazing AA
* Great torpedoes with convenient firing angle and excellent damage

'''Cons:'''

* 7.92 mm MG 15 have limited firing angles and are ineffective as AA armament
* Minimal hull protection

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Still effective in up-tiers, since it has access to a high-penetrating APDS shell with an amazing 105 mm penetration and high velocity
* Amazing -15 degrees gun depression means that it can adapt different terrains very well
* Fast reload, up to 3.1 seconds with an ACE crew.
* Decent turret armour, offering up to 35mm at the front and with sloping for increased protection.
* Fast top speed up to 45 km/h
* Is a small target

'''Cons:'''

* Only 3 crew members
* Armour is inadequate to resist high-penetrating shells, for example a [[Pz.II (Disambiguation)|Pz.II]] can penetrate it frontally
* Slow turret traverse speed with 11.2°/s
* Very average reverse speed of -7 km/h
* 5-8 mm roof armour can be penetrated by common aircraft such as ones with 12.7 mm M2, and [[He 112 A-0]]
* Purple stripes may be eye-catching, decreasing its concealment

== History ==

Strv m/39 is a continued design from the Strv m/38. In 1939, KAF had started discussions about ordering 20 new Strv m/38's to improve the strenght of the armoured company and, seeing the international way of desinging tanls eguipped with cannons, they reguested that new desings of Strv m/38 should have improved the armour by making it thicker to combat this threat. AB Landsverk was agains it since the construction of the L-60-S (Strv m/38) would not be able to handle this reguest of the additional weight the new armor would add to it. And because of this made them a contract that there would be small chanches to the L-60-S, mainly modifications to the turret adding room for an additional machine gun to be placed. Additionally there would be a new control system for the tank. Strv m/38 had the old system using a steeeing wheel, the new tank would use lever steering which was more favourable. When the contract was signed for these new tanks 19 December 1939 the new and improved tank got the designation L-60-S/II and was supposed to be delivered in middle of October 1940, but trouble and delays for the 37mm Bofors cannons delayd it until the spring 1941 which at time tanks had improwed a lot and there was a demand for thicker armour. They wanted to increase the frontal armour of the L-60-S/II from 15 to 50 mm but this would only happen in case of combat that it would be added as add-on armour to the tanks. But during exercise the tanks would not have this additional armour on them to not wear out the wehicles. L-60-S/II would get the designation Strv m/39 by the army.

Strv m/39 was in use till 1957.

=== Effective damage ===
''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of missile (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
Rb05A shines in ground realistic battles thanks to its 76.8 kilograms of tnt. You can use it against any tank in any battle rating. Even with the heaviest tanks you dont need to get a direct hit to destroy the tank. Therefore it can be used to splash kill lighter enemies from longer range.

In air battles you should not use the Rb05A because you can only load two of them and destroying two targets in one flight is not efficient. However the Rb05A does still pack apunc in air battles. If you are wery skilled you can use it to kill enemy planes thanks to its proximity fuse but it is extremely hard to do this cause the missile is hard to control. Rb05A's only use in air battles is to destroy pillboxes and tanks.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* 76 kg of tnt destroys almost everything
* Quite fast
* Has an proximity fuse

'''Cons:'''

* Must be manually guided, can be difficult to control
* Guidance time is only 24 seconds

Bf 109 G-6 (Sweden)

{{Specs-Card

}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Red Skies"]].

The Finnish Messerschmitt is one of the 159 units of German Bf 109s that arrived for the Finnish air force to use during the Continuation War; out of those 159 units, 109 were G-6 models. The model in-game carries the designation number MT-422.

MT-422 was one of postwar serving Bf 109G-6s. Shark mouth artwork was created and painted on MT-422 by Sergeant Börje Hielm. According to him the mouth was short lived as his CO ordered it to be removed later that year.

The performance is virtually identical to the [[Bf 109 G-6]] in the German tech tree; the difference between the two is that the Finnish G-6 has a tropical air filter and a Finnish paintjob. These differences do not affect the performance, they are purely visual.

{{main|MK 108 (30 mm)|MG 151 (20 mm)|MG 131 (13 mm)}}

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

* A choice between two presets:
** 1 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, nose-mounted (200 rpg) + 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine guns, nose-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)
** 1 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon, nose-mounted (65 rpg) + 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine guns, nose-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)

The two machine guns are located just forward of the pilot firing out of the nose of the aircraft. The cannon (either 20 mm or 30 mm) is mounted in the propeller shaft and will fire through the propeller hub. The 30 mm cannon can only be installed once the corresponding module at tier III is unlocked. The best 20 mm belt is "Air Targets", the best 13 mm belt is "IAI" or "Stealth" and the best 30 mm belt is the "Universal" or "Stealth".

{{main|SC50JA (50 kg)|SC250JA (250 kg)|Wfr.Gr.21|MK 108 (30 mm)|MG 151 (20 mm)}}

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

* Without load
* 4 x 50 kg SC50JA bombs (200 kg total)
* 1 x 250 kg SC250JA bomb (250 kg total)
* 2 x 30 mm MK 108 cannons (35 rpg = 70 total)
* 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons (135 rpg = 270 total)
* 2 x Wfr.Gr.21 rockets

== Usage in battles ==


An altitude advantage is imperative in the G-6, no matter what the enemy is. WEP is very effective, and with radiator and oil radiator management overheating is fairly negligible and takes a long time. The engine also cools down very quickly when disengaging WEP.

If you're engaging an enemy while you have an energy advantage, you should do everything in your power to keep or regain this advantage while depleting his. The Bf 109 can achieve this through the use of energy traps like rope-a-dopes, and to disengage when a foe avoids your boom. When neither you or the enemy has an advantage, you should avoid head-ons with the least amount of energy waste. Most of the time the enemy tries to get back on your 6 o clock, which drains his energy much more than yours. This gives you the opportunity to extend, climb, or bait him into an energy trap. Should you, however, face an enemy with superior altitude or speed, attempt to evade his booms on you or force him to overshoot.

When it comes to armament you have the choice of a 20 or 30 mm cannon in the engine, and gun pods of the same calibre. The 20 mm gun has good gun characteristics with decent damage and a good ammo count, while the 30 mm deals devastating damage but has a low ammo capacity and a very slow shell velocity.

In Simulator, the Bf 109 G-6 is quite a friendly fighter that can perform many tasks. It offers great flight performance with its smooth handling, adequate speed, and impressive climb rate and turn rate. Its nose-mounted guns do not require any convergence setting, making it very easy to aim. The nose gently slopes down from the windscreen, offering great over-the-nose visibility. The late G models also have an improved canopy side with less frames, and the solid armour headset is replaced by a transparent bulletproof glass, allowing some rear views which is better over the F models. Said bulletproof glass, however, has a thick metal frame, thus you can only see through the middle at a small portion of the tail. Still this is better than not being able to see anything behind at all. There are bombs of 50 kg and 250 kg to choose from which are beneficial for ground-pounding or base-bombing, although these are not its primary objectives. However, the Bf 109 G does have pretty limited cockpit view obstructed by its numerous canopy frames and handles. The inclusion of two 13mm MG131 creates two large, visible bulges on the nose, just in front of the windscreen, obstructing the pilot's downward view. The plane also behaves poorly during takeoffs due to its torquey engine.

The Bf 109 G-6 excels in bomber hunting: arming the aircraft with the single 30 mm, dual 13 mm, and dual 20 mm gunpods allows the aircraft to very quickly deal devastating damage to enemy bombers. In this preset the 109 can be considered a heavy fighter with fantastic performance, though turn fighting is somewhat out of the question. Boom 'n' zooming enemy fighters with this heavy armament is also very effective as only a couple of hits from the Mk 108 or MG 151s will completely cripple or outright destroy any single engined fighter.

The aircraft, despite having coolant in the wings, is also very durable for a single-engined fighter and is armoured very well. The fuselage, wings and tail assembly can take an enormous amount of punishment whilst staying in one piece to get you back to a friendly airfield. This characteristic adds to the bomber hunting capability, as it will be able to soak up a fair number of rounds from even relatively heavy defensive fire. However, flight performance is significantly reduced when damaged. Any damage to the water coolant system is fairly serious and will cause the engine to overheat and die fairly quickly, so an immediate disengagement is recommended in this situation.

Taking off in a late Bf 109 is harder than other aircraft, so one should familiarise themselves with the earlier 109s. When taking off, the Bf 109 will shift severely to the left side due to the huge torque, so consider setting keybinds for left and right brakes, as they are more effective at directional control than the rudder while on the ground. As the plane just lifts off the ground it will automatically roll to the left again due to the torque, so you must immediately roll a little right to keep it level, or the left wingtip will strike the ground.

The Bf 109 handles very sluggishly in the roll axis at low speed, so take this into account if dogfighting at low speed/altitude. You can even pull the elevator fully for maximum agility, but only if you pull gently and gradually will the 109 manoeuvre as you wish. If the stick is pulled harshly and suddenly, the plane will start swaying around and enter a flat spin. The 109 has very favourable characteristics in terms of getting out of a flat spin, and often corrects itself. If not, cut throttle, opposite rudder, stick forward and neutral ailerons.

* Landing may need practice for some. It is easy at first: decelerate and descent towards the runway, deploy combat, takeoff, landing flaps and gears in such order, fly at ~210 km/h before touchdown. Now note that you must align the plane with the airstrip correctly prior to touchdown and do not yaw/break one side too much when breaking, as the undercarriages are so close together that they cannot support such lateral force, causing the plane to wobble on the tires dangerously or even tilt towards one side, striking a wingtip into the ground. At last, you can break until the plane reaches a full stop and not worry about propeller strike.

==== Specific enemies worth noting ====
Your worst enemies in the Bf-109 G-6 are the [[Spitfire (Family)|Spitfires]] and the [[P-47 (Family)|P-47D/N/M Thunderbolts]]. The Spitfire can out-turn you at almost all altitudes below 4,000 meters. You have to be really careful when engaging a P-47 with an altitude advantage against you. The best thing you can do in that case is to turn away and keep climbing. If the Thunderbolt dives on you, turn into the head-on, fire a few rounds then use your superior roll rate to do a split-S. If a Spitfire engages you DO NOT try to turn with it! If you try, you will have fallen into their trap, your best defence is similar to the tactics employed against the Thunderbolt, split-S and use your roll

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Very good climb rate
* Very good energy retention
* Great stall characteristics and vertical handling
* Good low speed manoeuvrability without gunpods: you'll out-turn planes like the P-47s and the early P-51s at low speeds
* Can install 2 types of gunpods for greatly increased firepower
* The plane is overall very durable, with armour plates covering the only fuel tank
* Very powerful engine when using WEP
* More agile than the [[Fw 190 (Family)|Fw 190s]]
* Very good radiators for being a late war 109, they're responsive and will keep the engine cooler for way longer than the G-2's

'''Cons:'''

* Poor armament: unless using gunpods, head-ons should be avoided at all costs
* Outdated airframe means compression speed and rip speed are lower than most enemies you'll face
* Mounted weaponry/payloads will reduce flight performance significantly
* 30 mm MK 108 cannons have low ammo count
* Flaps are very sluggish to deploy and they rip at low speed
* 13 mm machine guns don't hit very hard

== History ==


Bf 109 g's arriving to Finland.

Finland had negotiated the acquisition of fighter jets with Germany before the start of the Continuation War, and in December 1942 an agreement was reached to acquire 30 Bf 109 G-2s. [17] The aircraft were handed over to the rebuilt fleet 34 (LeLv 34) in January of the following year. The planes were picked up by 17 Finnish pilots, who flew a total of 16 planes to Finland in March 1943 after the type training. The rest of the acquired planes were picked up in May of the same year. According to the contract, Germany replaced the destroyed machines with new ones, and between August 1943 and April 1944, a total of 18 replacement machines were received. Among the replacement machines, a few Bf 109 G-2 / Trop were also imported to Finland, which weremodified version.

== Usage in battles ==

''When playing with Strv 39 Td especially at up tiers you cant take shots from enemy. The best tactic for the Strv 39 Td is to flank enemies and stay hidden. The tank has an amazing shell. Its apds (armour piercing discarding sabot shell) can penetrate up to 104 mm of armour.''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Still effective in up-tiers, since it has access to a high-penetrating APDS shell with an amazing 105 mm penetration and high velocity
* Amazing -15 degrees gun depression means that it can adapt different terrains very well
* Fast reload, up to 3.1 seconds with an ACE crew.
* Decent turret armour, offering up to 35mm at the front and with sloping for increased protection.
* Fast top speed up to 45 km/h
* Is a small target

'''Cons:'''

* Only 3 crew members
* Armour is inadequate to resist high-penetrating shells, for example a [[Pz.II (Disambiguation)|Pz.II]] can penetrate it frontally
* Slow turret traverse speed with 11.2°/s
* Very average reverse speed of -7 km/h
* 5-8 mm roof armour can be penetrated by common aircraft such as ones with 12.7 mm M2, and [[He 112 A-0]]
* Purple stripes may be eye-catching, decreasing its concealment

== Description ==

[[File:WeaponImage Psrak m49A.png|thumb|left|420px|The Psrak m/49A rocket (scale is approximate)]]
{{break}}
The 14,5 cm psrak m/49 is a Swedish aerial anti tank rocket introduced in [[Update 1.93 "Shark Attack"]] as a loadout option for the [[J29D]]. The name 14,5 cm psrak m/49 is actually an abbreviation for its full name 14,5 cm pansarsprängraket m/49 (145 mm HEAT-rocket m/49).

The 14,5 cm psrak m/49 was the basic Swedish anti tank rocket during the 1950's and 1960's until being replaced with the 135 mm psrak m/70 in the 1970's. The 145 mm warheads of the 14,5 cm psrak m/49 were however reused after the m/49 rocket bodies had left service. Starting from 1977 the 145 mm warheads were removed from their m/49 bodies and then mounted to the bodies of the 13,5 cm srak m/56, then called 145 mm psrak m/49/56.

The 14,5 cm psrak m/49 is not known to have ever seen combat. Its direct brother however, the [[m/51|15 cm srak m/51]], was used in combat during the Congo crisis in the early 1960's where it was used to great effect by UN-assigned [[J/A29B|J29B]]'s when performing attack-missions.

In game it can be found on the vast majority of Swedish attackers and bombers below tier 3. While not the easiest to aim, it does great damage when hitting armoured vehicles.

Akan m/39A (12.7 mm)

2022-06-12T15:09:37Z

U70499097: /* Pros and cons */

== Description ==

The '''12.7 mm Akan m/39A''' is a Swedish aircraft machine gun. It is equipped on some of their early jet fighters.

The Akan m/39A, originally based on the [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|Browning machine gun]], was a conversion of the license-produced [[Akan m/39A (13.2 mm)|13.2 mm Hotchkiss-cartridge chambered Akan m/39A]] back into the original 12.7x99 mm (or .50 BMG) cartridge.

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|saab_a21rb|short}}
* {{Specs-Link|saab_j21ra|short}}

== General info ==

The 12.7 mm Akan m/39A was basically a rebarrelled version of the 13.2 mm Akan m/39A. The gun had all the same proportions and technical details but was rebarrelled to the more common Browning .50 cal (12.7 x 99 mm) ammunition instead of the worldwide less common Hotchkiss calibre of .52 in (13.2 x 99 mm). Since 12.7 mm ammunition was cheaper to buy than the cost to produce new 13.2 mm ammunition, all 13.2 mm weapons were re-chambered during the post-war era, and after 1950 basically all Swedish weapons fired the new cartridge. Other specifications remained unchanged.

Commonly mistaken with the Browning M2 (due to the same calibre) the Akan m/39A featured a modified electrical firing mechanism rating it from 600 rpm to 1500 rpm. The gun was used as secondary armament for tanks with a reduced rate of fire (720 rpm) as well as standard armament for a variety of Swedish late- and post-WW2 aircraft such as the Saab 18, Saab 21, and the predecessor FFVS J22B with a rate of 1080 rpm.

=== Available ammunition ===
''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== 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.''

U70499097: I added pros and cons and history of the missile

Akan m/39A (12.7 mm)

U70499097: /* History */ wrote history for weapon

== Description ==

The '''12.7 mm Akan m/39A''' is a Swedish aircraft machine gun. It is equipped on some of their early jet fighters.

The Akan m/39A, originally based on the [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|Browning machine gun]], was a conversion of the license-produced [[Akan m/39A (13.2 mm)|13.2 mm Hotchkiss-cartridge chambered Akan m/39A]] back into the original 12.7x99 mm (or .50 BMG) cartridge.

== General info ==

The 12.7 mm Akan m/39A was basically a rebarrelled version of the 13.2 mm Akan m/39A. The gun had all the same proportions and technical details but was rebarrelled to the more common Browning .50 cal (12.7 x 99 mm) ammunition instead of the worldwide less common Hotchkiss calibre of .52 in (13.2 x 99 mm). Since 12.7 mm ammunition was cheaper to buy than the cost to produce new 13.2 mm ammunition, all 13.2 mm weapons were re-chambered during the post-war era, and after 1950 basically all Swedish weapons fired the new cartridge. Other specifications remained unchanged.

Commonly mistaken with the Browning M2 (due to the same calibre) the Akan m/39A featured a modified electrical firing mechanism rating it from 600 rpm to 1500 rpm. The gun was used as secondary armament for tanks with a reduced rate of fire (720 rpm) as well as standard armament for a variety of Swedish late- and post-WW2 aircraft such as the Saab 18, Saab 21, and the predecessor FFVS J22B with a rate of 1080 rpm.

=== Available ammunition ===
''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== 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.''

'''Pros:'''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==
The 13.2 mm FN Browning was developed by FN as an improved version the Browning .50 in (12.7 mm) air-cooled MG53 aircraft machine gun. Improvements to the original design included: making the weapon lighter, increasing the rate of fire and offering it in not just 12.7×99mm Browning, but also 13.2×99mm Hotchkiss,[10] the latter cartridge effectively being a 12.7×99mm Browning cartridge but with a caliber of 13.2 mm (0.52 in).[11] The 13.2×99mm Hotchkiss cartridge was the initial cartridge developed for the 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine gun, being replaced by the 13.2×96mm Hotchkiss cartridge in 1935,[11] and was thus used and produced by a wide variety of countries in Europe. To further improve on the design, FN developed a high-explosive shell against air targets for the 13.2×99mm Hotchkiss cartridge, purpose built for the 13.2 mm FN Browning.

=== Comparison with analogues ===

== Usage in battles ==
''The Bk 3,7 can penetrate any tank or armored target at its battle rating. If attacking heavy tanks like KV-1 you should go for the roof of the enemy tank. Remember that your ammo count is very low so use your ammunition efficiently.''

You should not fight airplanes using this cannon because the spread of the cannon is prettt bad.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* HVAP-T shells have excellent penetration against armour
* He shell shreds planes

'''Cons:'''

* Packs a small amount of ammo in all but the Bf 110 G-2 gun pod
* HEF-T shell doesn't have as much effect as Minengeschoss from 30 mm
* Too slow rate of fire to be practical in dogfights
* Hard to hit to planes

== History ==
BK 3,7 equipped ground attack aircraft were developed for tank hunting on the Eastern Front in an effort to blunt the massive numerical superiority of the Soviet T-34 tank as the war turned against Germany. The concept was rather rudimentary, suffered from poor accuracy, severe weight penalty making the craft vulnerable to fighters, and low ammunition capacity; but could be extremely effective when operated by a sufficiently skilled and practised ground-attack pilot, such as Hans-Ulrich Rudel in his BK 3,7 armed Junkers Ju 87G.

}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]] as a reward during War Thunder's [https://warthunder.com/en/news/5852-special-news-war-thunder-s-birthday-discounts-and-gifts-en 6th anniversary]. Also, Ya-5M was a one of gifts on War Thunder's 7th anniversary<ref>[https://warthunder.com/en/news/6442-special-war-thunder-reaches-its-7th-year-en War Thunder Reaches Its 7th Year]</ref>.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}
''Ya-5M has no armour protection. Its hull is made out of 4 mm steel and its superstructure is made out of 15 mm thick wood.'' Ya-5M's crew consists out of 10 people therefore it is wery vulnerable. The ship is quite prone to ammo racking because its rocket launcher is ammo rackable and the second ammo rack is pretty big and is located above the waterline howewer the ship's third ammorack is located below waterline and is therefore protected by water. The engine compartment is big and takes shots easily. The engine is locted between the fuel tanks in the middle of the ship.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}
''Ya-5M'' is quite slow making its top speed

Only 44 km/h forward / 18 km/h backward

In arcade battles and 33 km/h forward and

13 km/h backward in realistic battles.

Ya-5M does not have a wery good

acceleration speed but it performs okay in

turning.

{{main|DShK (12.7 mm)}}

The primary armament of the Ya-5M consists of two 12.7mm DSHK machine guns (the first turret mounted above the wheelhouse and the second in an aft pintle). These guns are known for their fast fire rate and decent armour penetration at their rank, on the YA-5M however, one must turn the ship slightly broadside to enable the usage of both guns at once, this can present a problem while aiming the rockets.

APIT belts are suggested as they contain both HE and AP mixed to maximize damage output against all possible targets.

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

{{main|M-8}}

The Ya-5M comes armed with 24 M-8 rockets and one full reload. These rockets are decent area-denial light artillery weapons, but suffer from terrible accuracy beyond 100 meters due to conditions at sea. It is suggested to fire these rockets in 4-5 burst salvos to offset the lack of precision.

U70499097: Wrote usage in battles for the ship

{{Specs-Card
|code=ussr_g5_rct
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6703-event-winner-vehicles-for-the-victory-anniversary-en|Victory Day]] event.

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

As with the regular [[G-5]], the TKA-106 has practically no survivability. The ship has a tiny crew count of just six crew members and no armour, meaning that a couple of machine gun hits can knock the vessel out. The ships vital components are all clustered close together, making them vulnerable to damage.

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

The TKA-106 is an extremely mobile vessel. It can reach a top speed of 107 km/h in realistic mode and 138 km/h in arcade, making it one of the fastest vessels in the game, even faster than its predecessor. The TKA-106 also benefits from a fast acceleration to its top speed. The ships turn time is quite fast, though keep in mind that sustained turns will result in much of the ship's speed being bled away.

{{NavalMobility}}

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

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|DShK (12.7 mm)}}
The TKA-106 carries a pair of DShK machine guns as its main armament . The 12.7 mm DShK machine gun is a heavy machine gun, similar to the M2 Browning used by the Americans and the Vickers guns used by the British. This gun fires from a fixed 50-round magazine and will need to be reloaded after the magazine is expended. The DShK isn't a particularly high-damaging weapon and drops off in effectiveness past 1.5 km. However, it is still quite effective when use against small coastal vessels. The TKA-106 gets access to three ammunition belts: Universal, HE, and AP. Of these belts, the HE belt is most effective against smaller vessels and aircraft.

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

{{main|M-8}}
The TKA-106 gets access to 48 M-8 rockets, with 24 mounted in a trainable launcher and 24 more in a quick-reload magazine. The M-8 rocket is quite adequate for damaging larger targets and are quite easy to aim. However, these rockets are less lethal than some comparable munitions, due to their lower calibre and small TNT warhead (0.6 kg). As a result, it is advisable to salvo-fire the M-8s against large targets in order to ensure their destruction quickly and easily.

== Usage in battles ==
When playing wery vulnerable ships like the TKA-106 you should try

a tactic called "Hit and run". Example hide behind islands (or any cover)

then strike with speed and retreat back to cover. You can use your 2 x

12,7 mm DShK machine guns against smaller enemies like MTBs and

Your rockets against bigger enemies like sub chasers.

The "Hit and run" tactic works in every game mode (Ab Rb Sb).

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Extremely fast (faster than even the previous G-5 versions)
* 2 gunners instead of 1
* Superior locations for the weapons (no frontal blind spot)
* 12.7 mm is enough to damage and destroy other boats and planes at the battle rating
* Rocket-rack can unleash a deadly barrage, and has reserve to fully reload once

'''Cons:'''

* No torpedoes
* Rockets are inaccurate and prove difficult to aim on water
* Few crew members
* Exposed ammunition boxes increase chance of being ammo-racked

== History ==

The G-5 torpedo boats became the most common small vessel of this kind in the Soviet fleet during WWII. At the end of 1942, an experimental series of artillery boats was built, in which torpedo equipment was replaced with rocket launchers. During the tests, the project was recognized as successful and all 6 experimental boats were included in the second brigade of torpedo boats in the Black Sea Fleet.

The TKA-106 carries a pair of DShK machine guns as its main armament . The 12.7 mm DShK machine gun is a heavy machine gun, similar to the M2 Browning used by the Americans and the Vickers guns used by the British. This gun fires from a fixed 50-round magazine and will need to be reloaded after the magazine is expended. The DShK isn't a particularly high-damaging weapon and drops off in effectiveness past 1.5 km. However, it is still quite effective when use against small coastal vessels. The TKA-106 gets access to three ammunition belts: Universal, HE, and AP. Of these belts, the HE belt is most effective against smaller vessels and aircraft.

{{main|M-8}}
The TKA-106 gets access to 48 M-8 rockets, with 24 mounted in a trainable launcher and 24 more in a quick-reload magazine. The M-8 rocket is quite adequate for damaging larger targets and are quite easy to aim. However, these rockets are less lethal than some comparable munitions, due to their lower calibre and small TNT warhead (0.6 kg). As a result, it is advisable to salvo-fire the M-8s against large targets in order to ensure their destruction quickly and easily.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Extremely fast (faster than even the previous G-5 versions)
* 2 gunners instead of 1
* Superior locations for the weapons (no frontal blind spot)
* 12.7 mm is enough to damage and destroy other boats and planes at the battle rating
* Rocket-rack can unleash a deadly barrage, and has reserve to fully reload once

'''Cons:'''

* No torpedoes
* Rockets are inaccurate and prove difficult to aim on water
* Few crew members
* Exposed ammunition boxes increase chance of being ammo-racked

== History ==
The G-5 torpedo boats became the most common small vessel of this kind in the Soviet fleet during WWII. At the end of 1942, an experimental series of artillery boats was built, in which torpedo equipment was replaced with rocket launchers. During the tests, the project was recognized as successful and all 6 experimental boats were included in the second brigade of torpedo boats in the Black Sea Fleet.

U70499097: Wrote the history about the tka 106

{{Specs-Card
|code=ussr_g5_rct
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6703-event-winner-vehicles-for-the-victory-anniversary-en|Victory Day]] event.

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

As with the regular [[G-5]], the TKA-106 has practically no survivability. The ship has a tiny crew count of just six crew members and no armour, meaning that a couple of machine gun hits can knock the vessel out. The ships vital components are all clustered close together, making them vulnerable to damage.

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

The TKA-106 is an extremely mobile vessel. It can reach a top speed of 107 km/h in realistic mode and 138 km/h in arcade, making it one of the fastest vessels in the game, even faster than its predecessor. The TKA-106 also benefits from a fast acceleration to its top speed. The ships turn time is quite fast, though keep in mind that sustained turns will result in much of the ship's speed being bled away.
