 The '''MPK pr.122A''' is a small anti-submarine ship that was developed in early 1939. The vessel was intended to serve a dual purpose as both a submarine hunter and a maritime border guard. However, the construction of the vessel progressed rather slowly, with only the first vessel completed in 1941 due to the outbreak of the war.
-This vessel was introduced during [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game. The MPK pr.122A boasts good survivability thanks to its numerous crew and can effectively destroy enemy boats or lightly armored targets, as well as armored targets, thanks to its 76 mm APHE shell.

 In 1922, the Soviet Navy recognized the need for an anti-submarine vessel, which was later included in the "Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Red Navy" in March 1925. However, due to difficulties and financial issues, the initial plan was scaled down to two classes of ships: small hunters (such as [[OD-200]]) and large hunters (which were later reclassified as "малые противолодочные корабли" or MPK).

 Secondary armaments that also double for anti-air duties on the vessel are the three 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine guns in single mounts at the stern. While they may be classed as combined AA/auxiliaries, they are only really useful for engaging aerial targets. Due to the location of the guns, they have decent firing arcs and have no problem tracking low flying aircraft. Optimal range for these guns is less than a kilometer, where their combined fire will easily down any aircraft that loiter in the vicinity, while gunners will start opening up from 2 km away.

-The boat is reasonably fast in a straight line, able to keep up with slower PT boats and outpace German minesweepers. However, turning is awful due to large hull length. The boat tends to spin, meaning the stern will hit rocks or the shoreline if sailed too close. Stopping distance is also a problem, with no easy way to escape trouble once you've found it. All in all, it has decent mobility, adequate for the role but it does have some shortcomings to be mindful of.
