== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]].

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

''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 armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== 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.''

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

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

{{main|Bofors L/60 Mark 3 (40 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.''

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

{{main|7.2 in T37|Type 54 model 3 (533 mm)}}
''Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==

''Links to articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the series of the ship;''
* ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==

''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
* ''topic on the official game forum;''
* ''other literature.''

+'''PT-802''', also known as Torpedo Boat No.2, was the second vessel of the 1-Go torpedo boats operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force. Laid down in May 1955 at Hitachi Shipbuilding's Kanagawa facility, launched in August 1955 and commissioned November 1956 she was assigned to the Yokosuka District. PT-802 joined the newly formed 1st Torpedo Boat Squadron in November 1956, which was later reorganised in 1959. By March 1970, she was reclassified as a Special Service Ship, with a designation YAS-49, to serve in the Practical Experimentation Unit. Finally, she was decommissioned on 31 March 1973.

-* The Bofors L/60 Mark 3 autocannon provides significant firepower to destroy enemy torpedo boats at similar BR.
+'''Pros:'''
+* The Bofors L/60 Mark 3 autocannon provides excellent firepower
 '''Cons:'''
-* Very uncomfortable gun placement: Superstructure and torpedo tubes make it impossible to shoot forward or sideways. Only very limited firing angles are accessible.
+* Very awkward gun placement: The superstructure prevents firing forward, and the torpedo tubes limit gun depression
-* Unsatisfactory maximum speed for a torpedo boat: It can barely keep up with early destroyers. Torpedo assaults require antecedent positioning behind cover.
+* Wooden structure cannot withstand even low-calibre machine gun fire
-* Wooden structure is not able to stand against even low caliber machine guns.
+* No secondary or anti-aircraft (AA) armament: Incoming enemy aircraft must be detected in time and manually engaged
-* No secondary or AA armament: Incoming enemy aircraft must be noticed in time and shot down manually.
+* Torpedoes have a low explosive yield and are among the slowest in the game
-* Type 54 model 3 torpedoes have low explosive mass and belong to the slowest torpedoes in the game.
+* The rocket-powered depth charges lack aiming tools and have a significant flight time, making them very unlikely to hit anything other than the largest, slowest vessels.
