-The main advantage of the VS-10 is its speed. It can be played in many ways, however, advancing to the middle of the map and holding down a position is advised. The armament can make short work of lesser-armoured vehicles, however, ships with many crews can pose a challenge. Many ships with guns over 70 mm can destroy the VS-10 in one shot. If faced with a difficult situation, it is advised that you retreat using the VS-10's superior speed. Important threats to this vehicle include the [[SF40 Leichte]] and other ships with large amounts of Anti-Air and secondary weapons.

 When facing the VS-10, aim for the guns on the front deck and the torpedo launchers. Alternatively, aiming for centre mass is possible, however, the VS-10 will likely to be able to defend itself.

 The main armament of the VS-10 consisted of six 15 mm MG 151 turrets, three at the bow, one on the bridge's roof, and the remaining two at the stern. If you're familiar with the [[LS 3]], it shouldn't take long to get used to the VS-10's armaments. Thanks to its rapid rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute and dense cone of fire, it is very deadly against any lightly-armoured boats it may come across. Being placed on a larger and taller platform, the MG 151 on the VS-10 has several improvements over the LS 3's such as improved effective range (up to 2.5 km), slower overheat time, larger ammo capacity, and faster reload time. The only drawback of the MG 151 on the VS-10 is that it's quite ineffective against armoured targets (especially Soviet armoured boats that are quite common at its BR), thus forcing the VS-10 to mainly rely on its torpedoes and artillery support to kill them.

 {{main|G7a (533 mm)}}
-The VS-10 is equipped with two 533 mm G7a torpedoes. These torpedoes are quick, reaching speeds of 81 kph without the torpedo modification, and with it, 76 kph. Given the VS-10's role as a fast attack craft, it is not suggested to install the torpedo modification, as this craft should be used in the close combat role, as mentioned in the "Usage in Battles" section. Uninstalling the torpedo modification allows for faster target impact, reducing the chance of your prey dodging the torpedoes, and requiring lesser lead, which is useful given their location on the vessel. The two G7a torpedoes are fired from single tubes on either side of the craft. These tubes have a moderate outward spread, unlike the preceding boats in its tree, making firing both at the same target or within proximity of each other difficult, which is exacerbated by the craft's poor high-speed manoeuvrability.

-The VS-10 has good mobility and acceleration, mainly due to its hydrofoil hull design which maximizes its forward speed. The boat can reach a top speed of 155/111 km/h (AB/RB) when fully upgraded. However, the use of hydrofoils can make manoeuvring difficult as the ship tends to drift sideways at high speeds and deceleration is weak. The VS-10's reverse speed is mediocre, also due to the hydrofoils, the ship is very slow to move around in reverse, making retreating difficult.

-The VS-10 was an experimental hydrofoil torpedo boat that was constructed in Gebr. Sachsenberg, Hamburg. Ordered in 1942, this ship was constructed of a mixture of materials to include wood, steel, and other alloy metals. The VS-10 was able to achieve a maximum speed of 50 knots, due to its 6,000 hp engine. The VS-10 was later destroyed in 1944 during an allied bombing raid. A similar 'sister' ship to the {{PAGENAME}} was ordered but due to the lateness of the war and lack of needed materials was never constructed.
