Description
The 70 ft MGB-61 is a Rank I British motor toropedo boat
with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea" as part of the British fleet closed beta test.
General info
Survivability and armour
MGB-61 has no armour, so a few hits from ships with cannons will destroy MGB-61. Though small boats such as motor torpedo boats will have a tough time trying to destroy MGB-61 due the the powerful guns on board. MGB-61 has a crew of 12. In terms of survival, most small boats will have a tough time trying to destroy the MGB because of the powerful guns, though larger ships will have no problem.
