-In AB this boat works best when the opposing team has started using aircraft as the boat has good coverage from its secondary and anti-aircraft armaments and is used to provide anti-air cover (with HE rounds equippped) for other more powerful boats. However, given its speed and agility it is good when making breaks for neutralising or capturing points, especially if they are not being guarded by larger more heavily-armoured craft.

-The high fire rate and placement of the primary cannon means that it is easy to use and will handle craft of a similar size (plus there is no overheat mechanic). Against larger or more heavily-armoured targets the user should rely on the torpedoes or team mates (especially against craft such as the similary BR rated SF40) as the main cannon is too low caliber to end head-to-head conflicts quickly enough given the lighweight nature of the hull. Against smaller boats such as the Pr.123 or the ubiquitours LS3, it is best the use the secondary or anti-air armaments (especially when the target is within 1.5km) as they are sufficiently powerful to deal with their armour while being able to keep up with these agile craft but a few well place shots at longer ranges from the primary cannon can be very satisfying.

 Much like the rest of British coastal boats, this boat is not suited for areas of intense fighting and is best used as anti-air support or when used with hit and run tactics.

 ''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. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the "Use in battle" section.''
