These can be used as a backup weapon in case your 76 mm autocannons were disabled or to counter fast-moving enemy vessels and airvraft. However, trigger discipline is vital for using this weapon, as it can overheat very quickly in just a 2 second burst.

-As a larger coastal vessel, the LÉ Orla has a detailed damage model, this alone rendered her hull impervious to most machine guns and autocannon fire from PT boats it would commonly faces. Though the ship has a low crew count of only 39, they were mostly located in a compact compartment at the stern and the engine room, and so were quite hard to take a hit. However, the Orla inherited the same unarmoured bridge and turret weakness from her sister [[HMS Peacock]] and so this will be your obvious weakspots, as enough shots fired at these modules will inevitably disable them, causing crew loss that could be repeated over and over again if the enemy managed to disable them as soon as you repaired them.

 Keep in mind LÉ Orla is a huge corvette which spawns amongst patrol boats, this could be a problem on some maps as the shallow waters with rocky formations will often hit the ship and accidentally reduce the crew size.

+LÉ Orla is armed with a single main 76 mm/62 OTO-Melara Compact Gun, located at the bow of the ship. Despite being armed with a single 76 mm gun, the quick reload of only 0.8 seconds allows for a lot of damage in just an instant. The HE shell is composed of a powerful explosive mass of 1.08 kg of TNT. This single gun is not capable of hullbreaking any boat, but the explosive damage and the high rate of fire are more than enough to fend other threats at the rank.
 The gun offers satisfactory firing range, up to 6,000 m. However, firing at such distances is not advised due to the very limited ammo count. The ammo count of 115 shells is sufficient to destroy numerous small boats, as 1-3 shots will be enough. But long-distance engagements and destroyers will require a lot more of ammunition, leaving the ship unable to defend or with reduced efficiency. As once the ready-use ammo of 85 shells is fired, the remaining ammo will be fired at a much slower rate.

 Due to the scarcity of ammo for all types of threats, the HE-VT ammo should replace the regular HE. Consider arming the ship with SAP and HE-VT for more effective defence to fend off some planes; HE-VT being the main ammo and SAP the auxiliary for armoured encounters.

 The LÉ Orla was a former British Royal Navy patrol vessel stationed in the waters of Hong Kong, called the HMS Swift.
 She was purchased by the Irish State in 1988 and given the name of LÉ Orla. The name of Orla is taken from Irish history, being a popular Irish name in the 12th Century. Orla also has a strong connection with a historical Irish king, Brian Boru, whom has a sister and niece that shared the name Orla.<ref name="Irish_P41">Irish Defence Forces "LÉ ÓRLA P41"</ref>
