-The '''PT-15 (Pennant No. 815), PT-11-class''' was the fifth of its class which was built in the 1970s as part of the 3rd Defense Plan. The class improved on the previous PT-10 class with advanced technologies. She had a length of 35m, a width of 9.2m, a displacement of 100 tons, and was equipped with four 53cm torpedoes and two Bofors 40mm guns. Her aluminum V-shaped hull and her CODAG engines gave her excellent speed and maneuverability. She could reach 40 knots and operated in the Maizuru and Ominato districts until she was retired in 1995.

 It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]]. As a torpedo motor boat, the PT-815 is one of the most advanced Japanese patrol vessels, second only to the [[PG 02|PG-822]]. It has a high speed, a powerful armament, and excellent torpedoes. The Type 72 torpedo is its main weapon, capable of reaching 120 km/h and delivering 300 kg TnTe to targets up to 10 km away. This makes the PT-815 very effective against larger ships at medium and long distances. The vessel also has two 40 mm Bofors guns, which offer decent firepower but have a lower rate of fire than the [[L70 Bofors-Breda (40 mm)|Bofors-Breda variant]] used by the Freccia-class and Jaguar-class PTs.

 Each Bofors gun is placed on front and back of boat. This mean that both of them have large 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 is 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. The downside of the primary armament is that they can easily overheat if you fire for too long.

-This ship is armed with four Type 72 torpedoes on its sides. They are offset at a slight angle so you can't release all four of them at once on one target. The Type 72 torpedo has a very high speed of 120 km/h, making them the fastest torpedo in-game on-top of having 10 km range making it an excellent short to mid-range torpedo. It does come with a torpedo mode modification which allows it to go another 10 km making it usable on long-range targets. The Type 72's speed comes at the cost of explosive filler, being loaded with 300 kg of TNT.
