The '''TKA-106''' Motor Gun Boat represents the latest model and a heavily modified version of the [[G-5]] Motor Torpedo Boat. Its main differences from other G-5s lie in its inclusion of two 12.7 mm [[DShK (12.7 mm)|DShK]] heavy machine guns, instead of the usual one, and an additional rocket launcher capable of firing [[M-8]] rockets. Unlike other G-5 models, it no longer carries torpedoes; its primary purpose now is serving as a motor gun boat, primarily utilized for firepower support during WW2 landing operations.

This boat was introduced during [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6703-event-winner-vehicles-for-the-victory-anniversary-en|Victory Day]] event. Gameplay-wise, it remains quite similar to other G-5 models in the game. Its superior speed compared to other boats at its BR allows for quick capture of strategic points. Additionally, armed with two 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine guns, it can swiftly handle most boats at its BR. However, the standout feature of the TKA-106 is its M-8 rockets. Capable of carrying 48 of these rockets, it has the potential to obliterate any boats it successfully hits.

As with the regular [[G-5]], the TKA-106 has practically no survivability. The ship has a tiny crew count of just six crew members and no armour, meaning that a couple of machine gun hits can knock the vessel out. The ship's vital components are all clustered close together, making them vulnerable to damage.

The TKA-106 also benefits from a fast acceleration to its top speed. The ship's turn time is quite fast, though keep in mind that sustained turns will result in much of the ship's speed being bled away.

When playing very vulnerable ships like the TKA-106, you should adopt a hit-and-run tactic. Move towards the enemy while hiding behind cover (islands or obstacles) then strike with speed and retreat back to cover.

Description

The TKA-412 Motor Gun Boat represents the latest model and a heavily modified version of the G-5 Motor Torpedo Boat. Its main differences from other G-5s lie in its inclusion of two 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine guns, instead of the usual one, and an additional rocket launcher capable of firing M-8 rockets. Unlike other G-5 models, it no longer carries torpedoes; its primary purpose now is serving as a motor gun boat, primarily utilized for firepower support during WW2 landing operations.

This boat was introduced during Update 1.97 "Viking Fury" as a reward for the Victory Day event and returned as one of the random rewards in Battle Pass: Season XVI, "Skilled Marksman". Gameplay-wise, it remains quite similar to other G-5 models in the game. Its superior speed compared to other boats at its BR allows for quick capture of strategic points. Additionally, armed with two 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine guns, it can swiftly handle most boats at its BR. However, the standout feature of the TKA-412 is its M-8 rockets. Capable of carrying 48 of these rockets, it has the potential to obliterate any boats it successfully hits.

Main article: DShK (12.7 mm)

The TKA-412 carries a pair of DShK machine guns as its main armament. The 12.7 mm DShK machine gun is a heavy machine gun, similar to the M2 Browning used by the Americans and the Vickers guns used by the British. This gun fires from a fixed 50-round magazine and will need to be reloaded after the magazine is expended. The DShK isn't a particularly high-damaging weapon and drops off in effectiveness past 1.5 km. However, it is still quite effective when in use against small coastal vessels. The TKA-412 gets access to three ammunition belts: Universal, HE, and AP. Of these belts, the HE belt is most effective against smaller vessels and aircraft.

Additional armament

Setup 148 x 82 mm M-8 rocket
Main article: M-8

The TKA-412 gets access to 48 M-8 rockets, with 24 mounted in a trainable launcher and 24 more in a quick-reload magazine. The M-8 rocket is quite adequate for damaging larger targets and are quite easy to aim. However, these rockets are less lethal than some comparable munitions, due to their lower calibre and small TNT warhead (0.6 kg). As a result, it is advisable to salvo-fire the M-8s against large targets in order to ensure their destruction quickly and easily.

Usage in battles

When playing very vulnerable ships like the TKA-412, you should adopt a hit-and-run tactic. Move towards the enemy while hiding behind cover (islands or obstacles) then strike with speed and retreat back to cover. You can use your 2 x 12.7 mm DShK machine guns against smaller enemies like MTBs and your rockets against bigger enemies like sub-chasers. The hit-and-run tactic works in every game mode.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Extremely fast (faster than even the previous G-5 versions)
  • 2 gunners instead of 1
  • Superior locations for the weapons (no frontal blind spot)
  • 12.7 mm is enough to damage and destroy other boats and planes at the battle rating
  • Rocket-rack can unleash a deadly barrage, and has reserve to fully reload once

Cons:

  • No torpedoes
  • Rockets are inaccurate and prove difficult to aim on water
  • Few crew members
  • Exposed ammunition boxes increase chance of being ammo-racked

History

The G-5 torpedo boats became the most common small vessel of this kind in the Soviet fleet during WWII. At the end of 1942, an experimental series of artillery boats was built, in which torpedo equipment was replaced with rocket launchers. During the tests, the project was recognized as successful and all 6 experimental boats were included in the second brigade of torpedo boats in the Black Sea Fleet.
