The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} American motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]].
+
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the lead ship of the 14 ''Cyclone''-class patrol ships, being commissioned on 7 August 1993. The ''Cyclone''-class were designed with the intention of supporting the operation of the Navy SEALs by serving as a long range deployment and extraction platform. However, the ''Cyclone''-class were rejected by both the Navy SEAL and the regular Navy, as they considered the ship too big and small for their needs, respectively. ''Cyclone'' and some of her sister ships were then relegated to the US Coast Guard on 29 February 2000. After just 4 years of service with the Coast Guard (and 11 years in total with the US), ''Cyclone'' were then sold off to the Philippine Navy on 8 March 2004, and was renamed '''BRP General Mariano Alvarez''', and is still under active service to this day.

Introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]]. The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the first naval vessel in the game to be added while her real life counterpart is still in active service (albeit under a different flag). Being purposefully designed as a support vessel, she is armed with a small but fast-firing 25 mm autocannons with high penetration, allowing her to make a short work of smaller coastal vessel. In addition, despite her relatively small displacement and low crew count, the Cyclone features a detailed damage model that allows her to take a lot of hits from low-calibre rounds. However, the Cyclone is still lacking in firepower to deal with larger frigates or destroyers, and they can still easily cripple you with their large calibre guns.

Despite having a relatively low displacement for her size at 387 tons, the Cyclone is unique for being the lightest ship to have a "detailed" damage model: Instead of taking crew loss from her hull section being damaged, she instead only takes crew loss when her crew compartment located inside her superstructure was damaged. This allows her hull to take a lot of punishments from various smaller autocannons and is practically immune to machine guns.
 +
 
 +
However, with a crew count of just 28, the Cyclone doesn't have much endurance should her critical crew compartment being damaged. This means she does not fare well against any vessel with large calibre cannons (above 76 mm), especially various frigates with autoloading cannons.

Being designed as a SOF support vessel, the Cyclone features excellent mobility. She can accelerate and decelerate very quickly and can turn better than most of her peer. This allows her to make an evasive manoeuvre to avoid incoming fire.

The 25mm/87 Mk.38 is a navalized copy of the ground 25mm M242 cannon (mounted on M3 Bradley) in term of the gun performance and ammo characteristics, though the naval version has its ammo belt slightly re-adjusted with pure HEI-T and APDS belts as researchable modifications. Notice that in naval battles, APDS doesn't create secondary shatters (the spalling in ground battles); it's a pure kinetic-damage ammo. The gun fires at 3 round per second and overheats in 17 seconds. In naval scenarios, APDS is the only option for Cyclone. The self-destroying property of HEI-T renders this type of bullet almost completely useless because boats at this tier and BR often carry punchy 40 mm and above autocannons and fight beyond 2 km.

The USS Cyclone is a quick vessel fitted with guns that can do short work of most coastal ships it'll encounter. She must stay in the coastal area hunting for them, using her good top speed to her advantage. However, she must stay away from frigates and destroyers that can be encountered at this BR. The 25 mm guns are indeed, very powerful against patrol boats, but they are lacking punch and can hardly significant damages to bigger targets. In addition, the USS Cyclone can hardly withstand a hit from a high-calibre round. Try to engage big vessels while they are already engaged by somebody else or already heavily damaged without overexposing yourself.

Description

The Cyclone-class, USS Cyclone (PC-1) was the lead ship of the 14 Cyclone-class patrol ships, being commissioned on 7 August 1993. The Cyclone-class were designed with the intention of supporting the operation of the Navy SEALs by serving as a long range deployment and extraction platform. However, the Cyclone-class were rejected by both the Navy SEAL and the regular Navy, as they considered the ship too big and small for their needs, respectively. Cyclone and some of her sister ships were then relegated to the US Coast Guard on 29 February 2000. After just 4 years of service with the Coast Guard (and 11 years in total with the US), Cyclone were then sold off to the Philippine Navy on 8 March 2004, and was renamed BRP General Mariano Alvarez, and is still under active service to this day.

Introduced in Update "Drone Age". The USS Cyclone is the first naval vessel in the game to be added while her real life counterpart is still in active service (albeit under a different flag). Being purposefully designed as a support vessel, she is armed with a small but fast-firing 25 mm autocannons with high penetration, allowing her to make a short work of smaller coastal vessel. In addition, despite her relatively small displacement and low crew count, the Cyclone features a detailed damage model that allows her to take a lot of hits from low-calibre rounds. However, the Cyclone is still lacking in firepower to deal with larger frigates or destroyers, and they can still easily cripple you with their large calibre guns.

The 25mm/87 Mk.38 is a navalized copy of the ground 25mm M242 cannon (mounted on M3 Bradley) in term of the gun performance and ammo characteristics, though the naval version has its ammo belt slightly re-adjusted with pure HEI-T and APDS belts as researchable modifications. Notice that in naval battles, APDS doesn't create secondary shatters (the spalling in ground battles); it's a pure kinetic-damage ammo. The gun fires at 3 round per second and overheats in 17 seconds. In naval scenarios, APDS is the only option for Cyclone. The self-destroying property of HEI-T renders this type of bullet almost completely useless because boats at this tier and BR often carry punchy 40 mm and above autocannons and fight beyond 2 km.

Usage in battles

The USS Cyclone is a quick vessel fitted with guns that can do short work of most coastal ships it'll encounter. She must stay in the coastal area hunting for them, using her good top speed to her advantage. However, she must stay away from frigates and destroyers that can be encountered at this BR. The 25 mm guns are indeed, very powerful against patrol boats, but they are lacking punch and can hardly significant damages to bigger targets. In addition, the USS Cyclone can hardly withstand a hit from a high-calibre round. Try to engage big vessels while they are already engaged by somebody else or already heavily damaged without overexposing yourself.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very survivable against low-calibre rounds
  • APDS rounds have enough penetration to damage other armoured boats, such as MPK.161, HMS Peacock, or M-802
  • 25 mm guns are decent against low-flying aircraft
  • Decent top speed and mobility
  • Has access to a radar system
  • APDS rounds have decent velocity and easy to aim even against air targets.

Cons:

  • Large profile
  • Guns overheat quickly
  • Main guns lack punch against frigates and bigger ships
  • High-calibre machine guns have limited fire arc and aren't very effective even against small PT boats
  • Can't sustain hits from high-calibre guns (102 mm and above)
  • Can't track targets with her radar

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: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
