 The vessel loses a lot of speed when making anything more than minimal turns, like all hydrofoils. However, it has very good acceleration, allowing sharp turns to be a normal part of your tactics.

Effective use of the guns requires good understanding of lead and aiming offsets for speed and angle - opponents will often not adequately compensate for your speed, while you can be causing damage at ranges up to 1.5 km.

 '''Pr.123K (A-11)''' is a prototype variant of the Pr.123K, being the last series of Pr.123 motor torpedo boats built by the Soviet navy during and shortly after the Second World War. The ship differed from previous Pr.123 versions due to the removal of one 12.7 mm DShK machine gun turret, the installation of a heavier 14.5 mm machine gun turret, and the installation of two Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) and target search radars. The A-11 vessel was a unique Pr.123K prototype fitted with a double hydrofoil, allowing it to attain 56 knots (103 km/h) during testing.
-The Pr.123K (A-11) was modified from the Pr.123K subclass of Pr.123 MTBs, and retained the bulk of the Pr.123K’s equipment. The ship features an open bridge, similar to the Pr.123K, which housed the steering and control equipment. As well, the Pr.123K (A-11) was fitted with the “Zarnitsa” air-search radar and the “Fakel-M” IFF device, mounted on a dome behind the bridge. The Pr.123K (A-11) was equipped with the same engines as the previous Pr.123K, but was fitted with a dual hydrofoil. This setup enabled the vessel to reach exceptionally-high speeds: 56 knots (103 km/h) during testing.

 The Pr.123K (A-11) was built by the Krasnoye Sormovo plant (chief designer RE Alekseev) in 1950. However, despite the higher speed offered by the hydrofoil, the ship was ultimately not accepted into service. Instead, the standard Pr.123K was mass-produced, and served in both domestic and international navies for several decades.

-The Pr. 123K (A-11), as a premium variant of the Pr. 123K "Komsomolets", is relatively under-armed with two machine guns placed in a position that forces you to expose your side to shoot.

-The Pr. 123K does best in base-capturing abilities, as it can easily reach bases before most other boats. Thus, at the start of each game, you should rush straight for the bases. After the bases are captured, you can move into ambush tactics, as the Pr. 123K has relatively weak survivability and will be shredded in any brawls. Thus, you have to play very carefully, and always stay at speed, or you will get picked off very quickly by gun boats with large guns. You should be the person to capture points for your team, and stay a nuisance for the enemies.
