-The R-301 is constructed using wood, the superstructure is hardened wood constructed to a thickness of 12 mm. The wooden construction of the R-301 means fire is one of the biggest threats to survival of the ship. There is no armour on the ship, apart from the gun shields and hardened superstructure. The R-301 has a crew complement of 42, increased by 1 compared to the [[R-boot R-130]]. The R-301 still provides a great attachment of sailors, which helps to increase the overall survivability of the R-301 dramatically compared to other ships in this tier.

 This is now significantly increased even more with two twin [[2 cm/65 C/38 (20 mm)]] automatic cannons, replacing the two single 2 cm/65 C/30 automatic cannons with twice as much stopping power and 200 round magazines for them. Additionally, the legendary single 3.7 cm FlaK-Lafette C/36 automatic cannon stays the same, the depth charge racks are replaced with two torpedo tubes are added.

-The R-301 may seem slow in comparison to the other naval ships at this tier, due to its length. The Voith Schneider propulsion system, as found on the [[R-boot R-41|R-41]] & [[R-boot R-130|R-130]] has been replaced with a conventional three bladed propeller and transmission system.

However, using the mines comes at the cost of having them exposed on the deck and risking a fatal explosion to your vessel when hit.
